This is our second time at this location and it was as amazing as the last time! The cabins are conveniently located to everything downtown and are very clean! Surprisingly quiet and the location is beautiful! The shower was one of our favorite parts 😂 We cooked our meals in the cabin which was nice to save money. Their was ice waiting for us in the freezer too which was cute after a hot day. I cant recommend this place enough!
