"The location is fantastic! However, the interior photos on the website didnโ€™t quite capture the cabinโ€™s true character, as the sofa is old and dirty, cabin seemed a bit worn and dusty. Also, the cabin doesnโ€™t have air conditioning, so it can get quite warm in the summer. I should have done a more thorough inspection before booking. Despite that, we had a wonderful time in the cabin. Thanks!"
