Very cute house love the area very close to hiking trails only complaint I would have is that they did not have hand soap. We went out and bought some, but it had everything we needed otherwise friendly people in the neighborhood. Our dogs enjoyed it very much as well.

Nice comfortable cabin in a great location. Enjoyed the entertainment at the Tabernacle, the outdoor art show, food within walking distance and a quiet neighborhood. Our only suggestion would be to fix the broken handrail at the front steps.
