Note: When we were at this place in 2002, it was called "The Log Cabin B&B". In 2006, the property was
sold, and we can not make any judgements on the new situation. However, the small cabin that we have been
using is not available any longer. Brenda writes: "You mention that you stayed in the tiny Trappers Cabin.
We have decided not to rent that as a cabin and instead I do relaxation massage in that great little cabin.
It's fantastic!", and we believe her. :-)
