Nice get away at this rustic cabin! I did like the kitchenette with the microwave and convection oven. I might try out one of the other cabins next time.

Very rustic. Price was way too high for futon mat on the ground, no coffee maker, no wifi, and no other furniture than a really bad couch. Was hoping for a little better than what felt like an old shed. 50 a night for that cabin no problem, 200 a night was so unfair.
