This was a very quiet, peaceful cabin, out away from everything else but with clear instructions on how to find it. The cabin itself was cozy and has everything you need while being a 10 minute walk from the main trail. Great communication from owner.
This is one of the best cabins where we've been, very authentic, cool place, clean and warm, cos we've been in winter at 20 degrees outside. I like this place and totally recommend it! The host sent me a lot of suggestions what to do, it was very helpful and interesting, thanks a lot. Appreciate it!
