Great property
We had three guys just wanting to chill and hike and this was perfect for our needs. Felt very secluded but was easy to get to. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes/tools/etc. We also really enjoyed the fire pit area.

This was the sweetest little house. Very clean and comfortable for up to 6 adults.
This was more than we expected. The pictures don’t do it justice. It is very well kept.
