Glamp hike

Great cabin in the woods. 3.1 mile walk in. With porch and fire pit plus much more. Pit toilet with a roof and 4 walls. sleeps 8 with 4 bunks. The best part is having the beach so close you can hear the waves at night as you sleep. Water is very close as well. We had a RV water filter with a 5gal water storage and that last us the whole 3 day weekend
