The cabin features plenty of parking for vehicles and trailers and a fabulous deck off the main living space with expansive views. The cabin features fast WIFI and all TVs are streaming capable (no Cable TV). ATV's cannot be ridden on the property.

My stay was everything I hoped it would be. It was quiet, peaceful, beautiful and comfortable. We saw lots of wildlife and 2 deer visited often. I hope to go back soon. Staff was responsive and helpful.
