We stayed in the Cabin. It was extremely comfortable and quiet, and the owners are incredibly friendly and accommodating. I will absolutely stay there again. Important to know: it’s a cabin, not a hotel room, so set your expectations appropriately. That said, it has an amazing memory foam mattress and pillows that far exceed the average hotel room. The room is heated by a small gas fireplace stove, which made it extremely cozy when I visited at the end of November.
