Cabin was clean and just what we were looking for. The bed in the bedroom on the main floor was extremely hard. Did have to look for chairs to sit outside on the deck and near the fire pit but finally did find enough in the basement.

This was a great property with good proximity to Penn State for a football weekend. Water was odorous as warned so we brought our own and the beds were slightly firmer than we are used to. Otherwise this was a great setup for family to gather!
