Summary: We had such a wonderful time at the cabin! It was so welcoming and smelled so good! You get a nice fresh relaxing feelingbwhen you walk in. The balcony was so perfect! We spent most of our time out there and wrre greeted with hummingbirds, squirrels and owls. In the evening we walked down to the doc and the water was so clear. They arent kidding when they say "swim at your own risk, we shined our flash light up and down the river and saw 3 sets of gator eyes (which we loved cause were born, raised Floridians). We didnt get to use the kayaks only but next time for sure! The cabin was easy to check in and out of and was stocked with everything we needed! Ashley was amazing and so sweet. We had a few questions but she was prompt to answer immediately. All in all we will definitely be back! For sure a 20/10 rating. Thank you again for sharing you cozy cabin with us!
