Absolutely loved this little rustic hideaway. I traveled with my husband to hike locally, if you love “luxurious” camping this is your place. It is simple but charming, the loft bedroom has candle lanterns and its own private balcony space with. I would definitely consider it family friendly (suitably comfortable for 5) a perfect spot for a family with children of any age. I don’t consider it a downside but it doesn’t have running water (there is access to a campground for showers and such) we just planned ahead and brought water. We are absolutely planning on renting this cabin again!
