If your group consists of all adults, feel free to message me in advance — I can provide a folding bed as an alternative to the top bunk to ensure a more comfortable stay.
We finally have Wi-Fi thru T-Mobile 5G Home Internet due to many guest requests. Our cabin is located where internet service is limited, although we have access to internet, please limit 2 devices so you have a better speed connection, as rural areas have slower connection.
Living room has TV with antenna and netflex.

We provide complimentary coffee in our coffee bar (K cups, Keurig k-mini, single serve coffee machine)
immerse yourself in the warmth of the hand built stone fireplace in the living room overlooking the lake. Woods provided.
Remember, bugs are part of the natural environment, and our cozy
cabin is nestled in their habitat. There will likely lady bug and spider that come to the cabin . Please be mindful of this when booking. Rest assured, we take regular pest measures to minimize their presence.
Expect new Linens and towels. We like a clean place, and we want our guest to experience the same. We sanitized after every guest’s stay.
