"We arrived later than expected, but checking into the cabin was easy and hassle-free. The cabin was clean and well prepared for our arrival. There was a slight musty smell inside, but that’s not too surprising considering the cabin is tucked away in the woods. The location offers plenty of seclusion, aside from a few other cabins along the same dirt road. Overall, we had a good experience. It was a nice, relaxing weekend getaway for us, and we enjoyed our stay."
