Such a beautiful, extra clean and well decorated cabin. It was cozy and comfortable . The area was quiet. There are other cabins near this cabin. Be aware of the property lines, one neighbor wasn’t too happy when my husband step over the property line — not realizing he did so . Otherwise, we loved our stay!

Thank you so much for the wonderful review. We're so glad you loved the cabin's cleanliness, décor, and cozy atmosphere, and that the quiet area made for such a relaxing stay. We appreciate you sharing that note about the property lines since neighbors do value that awareness, and we're thrilled that aside from that, your time with us was truly special. We'd love to welcome you back anytime. The VueStay Team
