Summary: It has all the things! Modern amenities and appliances and charm of a cabin that’s seen lots of joy over the decades. The host greeted us and gave us an overview of the trails on the property. We didn’t explore any of them since we were hitting all the parks by day. The teens enjoyed the kayaks and floating in the swimming hole. I enjoyed the deck and the sound of rushing water while reading or doom-scrolling. We enjoyed our stay so much and were lucky it was available for 1 more night. Don’t miss out on this amazing space!
