We loved everything about this property. From the fantastic communication, to the abundance of firewood provided, to the beautiful surroundings and the interior of the cabin. Literally the only suggestion I have would be a better mattress in one of the rooms but the whole place was so great. We loved the games provided, didn't have to bring any lawn chairs or cooking supplies.. we took the whole family on a bike ride on the trail to go to the beach which was an easy and pretty ride for all ages. Would totally come here again
