Thanks so much, Brenda, for this very nice review. I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay. You guys were also great guests who are welcome back any time. Brenda
The upstairs smelled strongly of urine and the top bunk was not able to be used due to the strong odor. Otherwise it was a very nice stay!

Thanks for the great review. We are so glad you had a wonderful stay at the cabin. We look forward to hosting you again soon. Linda
Overall very clean and well kept, had a few small issues with the outdoor speakers, but fortunately we brought our own Bluetooth speaker. The fire pit and wood were great and the location was pretty quiet considering how close it is to the main road. Would definitely stay again, but would check ahead of time on the construction in town as the traffic is currently horrendous.

Brandon, Thank you for the great review. We apologize for any issues with the speaker. We wish you would have reached out to us so we could have sent someone out to fix it. We are so sorry about the construction most definitely just reach out to us to check the status. We would love to host you again soon. Linda
