Great location with other areas to park if need be. The only thing that really was unfortunate were the mattresses. They were hard as rocks with very little forgiveness.

A great place to stay if you love a little peace away from the crowd. The host were super friendly and helped us change cabins last minute when we needed a more accommodating space when working from home. Highly recommend!
