Our cabin was clean, well stocked and close to all attractions, as well as, groceries, gas and restaurants. While we did not use it, there is a grill and outside seating available. Parking directly in front was very convenient for loading and unloading. We would recommend this cute little cabin to anyone.

This little cabin was great for my Daugther and I for a school trip. It’s very close to custard park-a nice central location. Clean, welcoming and well supplied. The little treats left for us by the host were thoughtful and appreciated. Thank you!

Great little cabin in excellent location. Everything you need and super clean. Walls are a bit thin, so if you’re a light sleeper be aware.
