An excellent stay

The drive into the cabin was beautiful, and it’s exactly as it’s described on the listing. Ample space for guests (we had a large party), and it’s location on the water make our stay absolutely wonderful. Clean, quick response to the one question I had, and a friendly welcome made our stay memorable.
