Host:
We appreciated the well stock kitchen with nice appliances and tools
We had a wonderful experience with the cabin and its area
so the mattress feels a bit hard after the night
He stated the owner of the property had told him he could use the dock
: the first was a boat tied to the dock when we arrived We had to move it
Location:
The location was perfect and I loved my morning
No TV was no problem we enjoyed being away from everything
so it was not remotely a problem
and when we started to plan a trip to Washington State
Also the tide goes out and there is no way any boat can stay on that dock because it will be land locked
