A Magical Stay

AA Magical Stay sums it up pretty well! It was spending an evening in a work of art. This is probably the most beautiful cabin I've ever stayed in. The details were amazing! Also, it was very clean and stocked with all I needed. Peace and quiet for a night was what I really wanted and I got it. The owner, Susan, was nice, available, and communicated when needed. Awesome!
