The cabin/house is clean, comfortable and nicely appointed. All appliances are in good working order. The yard is near the Tuolumne Ditch which brought in abundant wildlife. As a matter of fact, we watched a doe give birth to a fawn in the back yard! The stay at the cabin was a wonderful experience.
