Stay at Cabin #2
I had a wonderful stay at cabin #2! Everything was very clean and comfortable. The location was close to hiking trails, which I love and also close to town for convenience. Steve was a great host and replied very quickly when I had questions. Would definitely recommend and hope to return.

Quaint cabin
Quiet! Clean! Soft, fluffy towels and plenty of them! Had everything we needed while in town visiting family. Thermostat was set between 75-78 and we couldn't change it. But the ceiling fan in the bedroom kept me cool enough. If you are picky about pillows I'd bring your own bc the ones at the cabin were kinda flat. Couch wasn't super comfy but the recliner was decent. Has satellite TV but not a lot of channels so bring your laptop or switch to stay entertained. No hairdryer that I could find. Overall recommend staying here!

Nice cabin
Don’t let the listing picture deter you. This is a nice cabin inside and out. AC was nice and cold. Bed was comfy. There is not a stove/oven however, a nice gas grill is provided. Work as expected. Hosts communicate very well, gave all the information necessary quickly and easily
