Cabin ok. Heaters somewhat confusing, label on each one for op instructions would be better than a handout.

Charming cabin
The property was very clean and comfortable. It definitely was only 2 minutes from town, but at the same time located on a very quiet and peaceful street. You would never know that you were that close to the commotion of a busy little town. Great location for someone semi handicapped like my husband as it had only one small step up to the front door and it had a grab bar in the shower. The beds were very comfortable and the whole cabin was well supplied with almost everything you need for your stay. My only big complaint is the TV did not work. It would power on, but would not receive a signal. I tried many things to solve this problem but never could.
Great cabin close to everything! Clean, spacious cabin and huge deck I spent the mornings drinking my coffee on. Couldn't have asked for anything more! Thank you!
