Adequate stay in mountain cabin

spacious cabinfull kitchengames roomcreaky floormissing showerawkward toilet paper holder

The cabin was spacious and had a full kitchen with all necessary utensils. The location is scenic, with a quiet atmosphere. The games room provided an added entertainment option .

The cabin was old, the floors creaked considerably when walked upon. There was no shower available upstairs in the cabin. The toilet paper holder was positioned awkwardly far from the toilet itself.
