6/10 Okay

Disliked: Check-in, communication, listing accuracy
It was okay. The landscape around the cabin was gorgeous. The cabin was decent and functional. The atmosphere was a bit uncomfortable at times during our stay when we were outside our cabin. It did not feel as private as it appeared to be in the listing on expedia. The cabin itself was private, but the area around it felt very public especially over the weekend.
