Wonderful place to stay!

Ken and Marcy made this a perfect place to stay. Clear, easy communication, cabin was very clean and they have it so well equipped with everything you could need. Decorated so it felt homey and welcoming. They even had a binder with information on the cabin, places to visit, etc. Loved the location, easy access to places we wanted to visit and the outdoor space is beautiful and so peaceful and quiet.
