Birthday Weekend

Paula and Bruce were wonderful hosts. When we arrived it was pouring rain and dark so we had trouble locating the cabin. We called Paula and she stayed on the phone with us while Bruce drove down to personally show us where the cabin was located. He even stayed to make sure we did not need any help. The next day we asked where we could get more firewood and Bruce promptly refilled the firewood for us. The cabin has everything you could possibly need and more. We really enjoyed the outdoor fireplace and grill. This will definitely be a location we would recommend.
