Incredibly secluded and private location but also easy to get to and close to everything you'd want to do in Townsend. Hot Tub and Sauna were a great perk as well.

Very cute cabin! Unfortunately it has some issues with the AC. There was a spare unit which helped but it couldn’t keep up with the whole space. Other than that was a great stay
