Hiking around Shawnee

Used the cabin as a base camp to rest/sleep in between hikes. It had everything that was needed, and was quite cozy. Only real knock about the place is the dog policy, which seems more akin to "dogs barely tolerated" vs dog friendly, but my dog seemed to handle it well all the same.

Great hiking getaway

My wife and I were supposed to stay Thursday through Sunday. Due to a family emergency, we had to change our trip from Wednesday through Saturday. The owner was more than accommodating in switching the dates. Great proximity to awesome hiking trails. Cute little cabins.
