Fabulous for our family of 4!

We adored this cabin and are sad to leave it. Even more spacious than we'd anticipated, with plenty of games and puzzles we enjoyed throughout our stay. A nice sized yard and hot tub for when you aren't out exploring, and well thought out window treatments with comfortable beds. Had everything we needed throughout our stay and host was very communicative. When I booked it, I thought we'd be away from the action, but this was just perfect - minutes to all the great spots. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay and hope we can visit again sometime!

About the host

Hosted by Sue

Host profile image
After retirement, a friend and I purchased the cabin. Since then
we have been continuously updating – new flooring in the
bedrooms, new beds and mattresses and a new hot tub and grill
are a few of the most recent updates. We enjoy using the
cabin but also like sharing it with others by making it
available to rent when we are off traveling in other parts of the
country or just relaxing at home in TX with our own furry
family members. We hope you enjoy the cabin just as much as
we do!
