9.2/10 Wonderful! (30 reviews)
Bed in loft was very comfortable. Sleeper sofa was awful. Location of TV was awkward and because of size almost unwatchable. We were there for a bike ride so it wasn’t a big deal. We love the town, restaurants and shops. A very walkable community as well as beautiful.

This setting of 10 Cabins was charming, well-spaced out, complete with a central family group area with big bbq & picnic tables for those coming with a group. The grounds are casual & well-maintained. Now, the cabins are really quite glamorous cottages, absolutely well appointed, very comfortable & beautifully decorated. Very, very pretty indeed! Everything is first-class. The kitchen has everything you could ever need to prepare meals: the open concept big, main room has vaulted ceilings, a fireplace & plenty of seating. The king bedroom has a sleep number bed as well, it can be temperature controlled. The bathroom is large & there is a towel warmer, though we didn’t need to use it. The front porch is shaded & has pretty enclave views. We will definitely be returning early next summer. Well done! Thank you!
