It was just the two of us and our 3 dogs. The cabin is set up in a way that it's easy to contain dogs to one section or another, and the 36" crate fit in the master bedroom without being in the way. We could have fit a second one, but two of the dogs were with us the entire time so we only needed the one crate. There were a couple items that needed attention, and the gals were very receptive when I gave them a list. The handyman showed up as we were loading up the dogs to depart. Fantastic response (nothing was dire & was able to wait until we left, just some minor things to make the next person's visit even better than ours). The creek is shallow and there's one good spot to get down into it, but do beware - you'll sink about 6" into the softest mud. A couple steps will find you on firmer ground, though, so scrunch up your face and power through that first "ew" part. We tied the dogs out with 30' ropes to keep them from running rampant (one is a runner) and hung out with them by the creek for a bit, which they Very much enjoyed. The dogs saw several deer, and were quite excited about it. One word of caution - the stairs are steep and the inside stairs are slick (we don't wear shoes in the house). If anyone is mobility challenged, do keep that in mind. There are railings for all stairs, which helps. Downstairs is Much cooler, and quieter, than the rest of the house, and the loft is quite a bit warmer and you'll hear Everything (except maybe the downstairs, haha) - something to consider when deciding who shall sleep where. Having the washer and dryer available was such a delight! We did our laundry before leaving and only had to put it away when we got home. Candace, the gal who cleaned before we arrived, did a marvelous job and everything was in good order. I had a lot of fun poking around in all the nooks and crannies to see what was what. Overall we had a lovely trip, and there were more creature comforts than we anticipated. Date of arrival - August 4, 2022

The location is perfect to take all the activities in. We went horseback riding, white water rafting, tubing, zip lining, and did tons of hiking. The kids love the downstairs play room.
