It was very comfortable and spacious. The only thing we had wished for was a shower in the basement. But it is a toilet. The host was fantastic! The view was the best and my favorite was the porch swing!! I highly recommend.

It rained every day of our stay so the screened in porch really made our trip worth it. Very relaxing and quiet. Plenty of space in the main cabin and the detached suite for our party of 9. The kids loved the loft and all had their own bed. Host was very informative and responsive. Fun rustic spring break trip!
