We loved the layout of the house. We ended up not bringing our dog. The owner answered right away when I called him about the internet. Very comfortable place to stay, as we like to just hang out and cook and grill.

My son ended up needing to go to the hospital on Friday so we did not come to the property at all. This is why nothing will be changed. Thank you for your excellent communication and we will try to stay another time!

We visited in October and had a wonderful experience. The cabin looked exactly as shown in the photos. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed, the beds were incredibly comfortable, and our dogs absolutely loved exploring the trails. This was our second stay, and we would definitely stay again.
