This was a nicely designed cabin, and I wish I could say that it was worth the drive from where we wanted to explore. Off-the-beaten path was definitely true. Unfortunately we shared the cabin with mice - which to our surprise were coming up through the range burners and scrambling over the kitchen counters in the evenings. Perhaps this is what was meant by 'animal sanctuary' because the only animals there were a few horses, their dog, and a couple of cats. There were signs everywhere asking for donations to help feed these animals - we had questions as to whether or not this was a qualified 'sanctuary', As I did say earlier, the cabins are very nice. We happened to have the only cabin without a grill (which was disappointing) - but there WAS a snowblower parked on our porch/patio area instead, so we joked that perhaps we were supposed to grill meals on the top of that! We just felt that this was a bit of false advertising.
