This area is very quiet and peaceful and so relaxing.The hosts communicated very well prior to our stay. They answered my many questions promptly :) There was an issue with the a/c in one room and she had someone out right away.One suggestion would be to have a walk in shower for people over 60 :). Those tubs are pretty high to step over. LOL.Over all, we loved the place and would highly recommend this cabin to those with big families."
