A great stay overall! Great location and beautiful porch to enjoy it all. The cabin was fully stocked with anything that you could need. It was very clean and well maintained. We did have trouble with the AC unit while we were there and had one night without it but Wendy was great to work with and was prompt in addressing the issue.

This is a great place, in a perfect location for UTV Trail driving. The owners pay good attention to all the details and necessities down to providing their guests Ricks Salt (Mobrodge SD.) They thought it pretty much everything. Communication is great. I recommend this place highly.
