Love this cabin! Everything about it is perfect - the cute kitchen with stove and fridge, the cozy living room with classy leather loveseats and toasty woodstove, the comfy beds and room for the whole crew. It snowed multiple feet during our stay and we stayed snug as a bug. The people before us didn’t leave any chopped wood or kindling (boo!) so we put in some overtime in the woodshed💪

Everything was good and in order. Nice to be able to use the wood stove inside the cabin now that the rains have come. We actually got some snow afternoon and evening of Nov 3, 2022.

Everything was great, except was expecting to have running water. Retrieved water from the campground so we could do dishes.
