This was the very best place we have ever stayed. This is a well built cabin with extra nice interior. It was close to attractions, but gave us a quiet place to come back to at the end of the day. Plenty of room for 2 people so that you’re not underfoot all day. I don’t rate many things, but this cabin really impressed us.
