  My husband and I spent a weekend at Wolf Cliff Cabin in mid-July 2012. The setting is beyond fabulous and the pictures do not do it justice, especially the exquisite woodworking. It has all the amenities of home, without the distraction of TV, phones, and computers. Cooked all of our meals on the outdoor grill, took a dip in the creek below the cabin, and spent the entire weekend reading, resting, and relaxing. On one hand, we were sorry to have to go back home, but glad because we knew we'd be back. Far enough to feel secluded, and close enough to feel safe, this cabin is an absolute gem. Even in the dogs days of summer, the cabin remained cool and comfortable. The out/shower house took some getting used to, but gives you a good slap of reality. Even though we didn't use it, having the Kubota on hand added an extra bit of security. I have recommended the cabin to several people, and cannot stop singing it's praises!

  My boyfriend and I had a wonderful time at the cabin. A unique experience, and it began with Michael letting my boyfriend drive the Kubota vehicle down a wooded path to the cabin. The property was clean and well maintained, and turned out to be a nice get away for nature lovers. We had fun heating the cabin with the wood burning stove, and making the fire that heated the sauna. We enjoyed cooking, reading, and conversation. A short walk down the hill, there was a beautiful creek. It was nice to get away from the city to recharge and reconnect with nature. A short walk down the hill, there was a beautiful creek. The town of Lewisburg is not far away, and there are restaurants, a movie theater, and small shops. We hope to return and check out the state park that is close by. Thanks Michael and Nancy!

  My husband and I had a wonderful weekend away here in January. Snow on the ground and enough rain to excuse our hunkering down to relax, read, listen to music, cook, tend the wood stove, and do the first jigsaw puzzle of our 13-year marriage. The cabin is beautifully made, organized, and decorated...and is very comfortable! While we didn't take advantage of the sauna (this time), we'll definitely be back! There's a swimming hole down in the ravine that looks worth investigating in summer! Many thanks to Mike and Nancy!

  I found Mike's and Nancy's cabin one night while daydreaming of a getaway and surfing VRBO. The pictures captured my imagination and Mike was friendly and quick to respond to my inquiry. ISo I came all the way from Colorado to stay for a week. My goals were to spend some time alone, to relax and recharge, and to get a taste of tiny house living and doing without so much "stuff." My stay at the cabin was exactly what I needed. The space is expertly laid out and the perfect size for 1 (or probably 2). I enjoyed the abundant trees, sounds of the creek, and endless quiet time to read, write, work a puzzle, or just "be." The cabin is not far from Lewisburg, so I easily made a couple of day trips to shop and see the area. Mike was welcoming and promptly took me back to the cabin, showed me around, and left me with my privacy for the rest of my stay. The cabin was clean and colorful, and I can't tell you how many times I just sat and admired the wood work. Super comfy pillows! It's an excellent place to unplug from reality and reconnect with yourself. The cabin is a unique and special place. Enjoy!

  So I read the other reviews before booking the cabin and they were dead on. Everything that you needed was provided. If your looking for a weekend away from normal life, try WoodCliff cabin! It was really cozy with the wood burning fireplace. Michael was very nice and gave us good advice on a meat market. A candle lit dinner was perfect for my wife and I. If you enjoy a break from modern technology then it is great! The only caveat I would offer is the "out house." For as modern and convienant as the cabin was, the out house is a bit more primitive with a "flushless" toilet. It was a step up from the toilets we had in Iraq, but just as odorous. If you or your significant other is a particularly "high maintainance" this cabin is not the Holiday Inn, however it offers peace and tranquility that NO hotel could ever offer! Thanks again Michael for your craftsmanship!

  My husband and I just returned from a wonderful weekend. The cabin is incredible. The pictures do not do it justice. This was beyond our expectations. The craftsmanship of this cabin is exceptional with attention given to each and every detail. The artwork and window paintings were beautiful. If you are a nature lover and are looking for an escape from the "rat race" you will most certainly find peace, quiet, and comfort in this wonderful place. We look forward to returning to this cabin soon.

  This was our second time staying at Wood Cliff Cabin. The first time we decided to stay was during New Years Eve for a romantic getaway. Michael met us and drove us down our secluded pathway to our small retreat. He was a gracious host. At once we were struck by the beautiful craftmanship and the attention to details in both the cabin and the sauna (amazing kitchen countertop, beautiful stained glass windows, amazing deck overlooking the cliff, and awesome lofted bed.) We are nature lovers, so we were pleased to see ourselves completely immersed in the elements with nothing around but peace and quiet. The lofted bed is situated by windows that you will end up leaving open the entire time you are there. How could you not? Even in winter, the fresh air and falling snow lulled us to sleep. The shower took a little bit of work in the winter, but wasn't a big deal once you got used to it (The water has to be heated and pumped by hand in the winter, Michael explained.) The sauna was fantastic and relaxing. At night we enjoyed card games and wine by gas light, and listened to music. We decided that we loved our experience so much that we would return in the summer to experience the change of season. Sure enough, it was like returning home with new scenery. The shower was running on electric (woo hoo!) and this time we took many walks down to the gushing stream and read books on the chairs Michael set up on the mossy banks. The windows remained open again, even when there was an amazing thunderstorm one night, and this time our card games were played outside on the deck with our glass of wine. It was, as we expected, relaxing, inviting, and serendipitous. Staying here makes you mindful of nature. The cabin is run on batteries. There are adapter outlets that allow you to charge your phone and whatnot, but you realize how much you take for granted when you stay here. We are so used to having things so accessible in our houses and whatever we want at our fingertips, that staying here makes you conscious of the decisions you make in life on how much you use, how much you consume, and thus how much you waste. Being here renews a sense of purpose that we do not need much in life to enjoy it. Michael and Nancy have created this perfectly spaced oasis that works with nature and allows us the peace we need to restore our spirit. Staying here is not just a fun getaway, but a retreat for the body and mind. Thanks to these two for creating an amazing place.

  I surprised my wife with a stay at Woodcliff Cabin as a two year anniversary get-away weekend. There is so much that can be said about this cabin (all of the reviews are correct). Michael is an exquisite craftsman, meticulously detailed, yet the cabin is profound in it's simplicity. Nancy is a talented and imaginative artist - the cabin they've created is a work of art, one of a kind. And they are such gracious hosts to boot! They gave us wonderful recommendations for hiking with our dog (we highly recommend the Molasses Gap hike, or as we now refer to it, the Enchancted Forest). Two nights during our stay we went into Lewisburg for dinner, and they offered to let our dog stay with them while we were gone. Tips: throughout our stay we learned that Michael and Nancy truly had thought of everything. A couple of times we thought to ourselves, wouldn't it be nice if there was a [fill in the blank].... and there always was. The only thing I wish I had brought was a CD to leave in the eclectic collection, which I assume has been built over time by visitors and the hosts themselves. Our favorite thing about the cabin? Waking up each morning in the loft bed, and seeing the beauty of nature in every direction... then getting up and making a cup of coffee to enjoy on the deck.

  My Husband Steve and I celebrated our anniversary at the cabin. We are from the area, but when Nancy drove us back the stone road to the cabin it felt as if we were miles away. The cabin was perfect, and we enjoyed the special time together cooking and playing scrabble on the deck. We awoke in the morning to the sound of the run below us and the sun shining in the windows. It was a wonderful escape and we highly recommend it for a getaway together.

  My boyfriend and I spent a lovely long weekend at the cabin. Michael and Nancy were so welcoming and the cabin was beautiful. We really enjoyed getting away from city living to relax in the woods. We went for a great hike along a ridge in the nearby state park and Michael and Nancy loaned us their Scrabble set to fill the quiet nights. It was a lovely place run by lovely people and we hope to return soon. Highly recommended!
