View from the hot tub is absolutely stunning, this one is definitely the best view on the complex.

A really lovely cabin, ideal for a weekend away. It was clean, well equipped and beautifully furnished. The hot tub was great and very secluded. The bathroom was clean and the shower was hot with good pressure. We had a lovely couple of nights here and I would really recommend it.
