Best lil cabin around!

The Aurora Cabin

The Aurora Cabin was so very lovely! There were so many more accommodations than we had anticipated and were so appreciative!! All of the features were super easy to navigate and the host was responsive when we thought we needed help. The temperature was super intuitive with the gas fire place. Even the outhouse amazed! Didn’t smell bad all weekend. Would even go so far as to say it smelled lovely! We got great use out of the fire pit as well- and the provided blankets for the fire! Lovely property, great stay- would come back again!
