Sleep or Bed

"Our stay at the cabin was so peaceful. We were very comfortable there and everything we needed was provided. We enjoyed the kayaks and my son caught fish right off of the dock! Thankfully there was a first aid kit in the bathroom because the northern my son caught gave quite a struggle to get him off of the hook. An exciting memory. We will definitely be back one day!"
