    The cabin was lovely. Deb is an amazing hostess. The cabin had everything from cooking pans to shampoo, conditioner and body wash in the bathroom. There is a large mowed lawn, lawn chairs, fire ring and wood to burn. We loved this cabin .

    Classic up north cabin. Had a nice stay for a wedding in town. The only thing to note is that there are curtains not doors on the bedroom - not a problem just something to know.
