8/10 Very Good! (426 reviews)
"The toilet float doesn’t work and there was no hot air from the heater. I’m glad I had my space heater with me. Breakfast was supposed to be at 7:00. At 7:20 I left and had breakfast elsewhere. Not a good experience but I didn’t have to drive an hour home in the dark."

"Best to arrive before dark, as the cabin is slightly beyond where it is in Google Maps. View is amazing from the porch. Stars a night are also amazing. Devils Knob trail is on the way to the cabin. Decor is charming. WiFi was a Verizon hotspot, with near 100 down but under 0.1 up."
