The location is superb!
The location is superb. The view is amazing. The cabin is quaint, and I like it very much. It is toasty warm with the fireplace.
We enjoyed it very much
Very tastefully furnished and very comfortable bed. The absolute plus was the kitchen, which can be used for several nights at no extra charge. The view is unique! We enjoyed it very much and would come back
