hunting trip 2023

we stayed at the property while we hunted the public land areas in brethren. I was amazed at how clean the property was ... smelled good, looked good, everything. one of the things that i particularly appreciated was that the linens and sheets and blankets didn't smell musty. i have asthma and allergies and often times cabins like this have issues with air quality and everything smells like mold. NOT THE CASE HERE! Would definitely stay again :)
