The cabin was amazing bed so comfy. Definitely a 5 Star. Such a peaceful and relaxing place would definitely go again. Our only gripe was my husband loves fishing and the lake was covered in oxygenating weed, but they did leave note explaining that they had Canadian Geese nesting. Other that we loved it.

Would highly recommend to anyone. Only thing I would say to improve would be for there to be some kindling to make the fires easier to light.
