Liked: Cleanliness

Great location, but innacurate amenities.

The location was very remote (which I loved!), the cabin was beautiful, and incredibly clean. However, the amenities were not accurate. I booked this place for my bachelor party, which included a LAN party. One of the games we planned on playing required internet. However, tue "internet" is a mobile router that carried internet through cell signal. The issue was that with how remote the location is, there was no cell signal. Which means there is no internet. This made me unable to do a core part of my bachelor party, and meant my friends were not able to comolete their remote work that needed done. I paid for Wi-Fi access, and was sorely dissapointed with the lack of it. Otherwise, it's a beautiful location.
Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025
