Very steep stairs to the upper loft. But it all worked and was functional.

My better half and I stayed here for the weekend during the summer and we loved the stay. If you like a quiet little cabin in Government camp you will love this place. It was a little warm during our stay, so if this is the case I recommend taking advantage of the local lakes.

Cute beyond cute, and very cozy. Perfect location for skiing, hiking, running, fishing, and dining.
