We stayed 2 nights in the cabin as a family (2 adults and 2 kids). The cabin is small for a family but it really has everything that you need. And there was enough space for us to sleep 4 people. We really enjoyed the welcome package and in general that it was very clean and cosy in the cabin. It will stay as a great memory for us!It is also great being in the midst of the nature and I would definitely go for the cabin compared to a hotel.
