Not Happy

We arrived and found out that Gavin Cabin had no electricity and no running water. In order to use the bathroom you had to go to a community one. I did not read anything telling me that it was a primitive cabin. We were not very happy when we had to find another place to stay for the night

Gavin Cabin

We had a great time. This rustic cabin is in a very quiet location and we could hear the nearby creek running which added to the charm.
