The cabin was cozy and stocked. Anything we might have needed was there. And, Patti was very accessible and kind. (Snacks and coffee!) We did not get a chance to meet Buddy, the dog, but heard him bark a couple of times in the early morning. We were a bit disappointed that the cabin was so close to two other houses on the property (and not noticeable from the pictures) since the main house porch lights shined into the one-room cabin. That, coupled with the large sunlight over the bed made for a little too much light for our preference on a vacation. And, we may be spoiled by our mattress at home- but neither my husband nor I found the bed comfortable. The heater in the bathroom was a nice feature. While the location is nice and remote, and still very accessible to city life - The “lake” is definitely a pond and the mountain stream is probably more plentiful in the summer. All in all, I think we will look for someplace else next time we visit our family who lives in the area.
