The cabin was cute and sufficient. I have a cabin so used to cabin living. I can see where winter use of cabin would be wonderful. We only walked down to creek so didn’t do a lot in our short visit. I would recommend it

The cabin was spacious, with a nice layout allowing each bed a sense of privacy, and very comfortable. We appreciated the included use of kayaks to poke around the creek/slough. Shelley was a wonderful host, greeting us on arrival and offering local wisdom about good fishing spots as well as dining spots. A lovely stay!
