Very clean. Hot tub was wonderful after a day of hiking. Great view of stars overhead. Very close to state park. Pretty far from town, but that’s the way this area is - lots of natural beauty and wild space.

Perfect… almost

Everything was perfect for what what partner & I needed for the weekend. The location & amenities were great. However, it was almost unbearably hot inside the cabin. Both AC units were working, they just did not cool the space enough. So I’d definitely recommend bringing a fan if you’re staying during the summer. Also.. there was a lot of flies & gnats. They seemed to be coming from the kitchen drain. Spent a lot of time killing flies!
