Other Details to Note
Please note that the wooden staircase leading to the second floor has steps that are narrower than normal (please refer to pictures for a visual reference). There are rails on each side for stability. While the staircase has not posed a problem for the majority of guests, we want to be transparent in saying that it may not be suitable for everyone. Just a reminder that this is mid-century cabin, and these stairs are part of that original design. While they are a cool feature to many, they may be challenging for others, especially younger children.
