What a wonderful cabin! The power was out when we arrived, but Ryker answered our phone call right away and checked the PG&E outtage map, and let us know when the power was expected to come back on. He followed later to make sure everything was working OK. He was very responsive! The beds are very comfortable and the cabin is very spacious! We loved it!
