The cabin and surrounding grounds are exactly as described. While it's off-grid, it's still really nice. Yes, it's in the woods so there might be bugs or leaf debris. Yes, it's an outhouse, so it will smell like an outhouse, but that is all part of being in the great outdoors. There are cute solar-powered lights inside and out. There's a very nice propane stove outside, a great picnic table, amazing fire pit, creek that swirls around the property, and lots of land for tromping around. It really provided a wonderful escape and is excellent for just a couple of people or a group. There's plenty of space to find your own time and space if you were staying there with a group. The whole place just makes you want to spend time in nature, and that is the whole reason for going, right?! The maintenance folks were also very responsive when I arrived late and brain dead and had trouble opening the gate!

pros: very beautiful area, peaceful, secluded, bedding was clean, everything needed to cook meals, all around wasn't a bad place to stay. no electric and being able to disconnect from the outside world for a bit was nice. cons: upon arrival the gate to the driveway was locked, reached out to host, they responded immediately stating that the code for the gate and the code for the door were the same, we tried the code multiple times and it didn't work. We had to remain parked outside the gate for the entirety of our stay, the walk to the cabin was roughly 1/4 mile and we had to carry all of our belongings. The smell in the cabin was unbearable due to a dead mouse behind a little locked door that we didn't have access to, but previous poor communication kept us from reaching out to the host. The trails aren't very maintained and the "creek" is nothing more than a tiny stream with barely any water. The water from the outdoor shower was brown and smelly so bring extra water.
