Cozy Creek: Your Mountain Retreat

8/10 Good

"The cabin was cozy and clean. The brook was a pleasure to listen to. The hosts responded immediately to a question I had. The only downside being that I am a neat freak was I would have preferred the deck to have been swept off and the recliner chairs could use replacements. The deck could use a nice power washing."
