Our stay was incredible. The views from the cabin were beautiful. The cabin itself was an immaculate condition clean and everything that was promised
Very nice location. Local bears come to visit as well as raccoons, squirrels, and a cat. Very quiet and up in the mountain. In the middle between Gburg and PForge.
Trash cans are really small if you have a large group. It takes a little bit for a response, but it's still not bad.
Overall, we loved this property!
