The host, Helen, was very kind and quick to respond. The cabin is a new build, very modern rustic with tons of windows and plenty of space to relax. Technically, you do not need 4x4 to get to the house but the last 1 1/2 mile drive is gravel and nothing I would drive a sports car on. We spent lots of time just hanging out on the deck, we did use our own propane tank for the fire table instead of wood, but the fireplace is pretty. The gas fire inside was difficult to use and loud so we opted to leave them off. But the HVAC in the cabin was really pleasant. The shuffleboard table outside was pretty beat and we weren't able to use it, but the hot tub made up for that. Overall, an absolutely lovely cabin and VERY pleasant.
