Cabin has a large partially covered deck on the front and a fire ring in the back yard. A deck also leads you out the back door allowing you complete privacy as you are surrounded by timber on all sides.

We enjoyed the house and host. The reason we gave it good instead of excellent is because of gravel road and WiFi issues. The host was very nice and accommodating. Would recommend this VRBO.
