Such a beautiful place. Cabin was a different experience with it being semi primitive but with such a charm that made us feel like home. With the sounds of the creek and trails around the property it was very relaxing experience. We even saw a turkey being pestered by a hawk in the front field and squirrels perched on the back porch to escape the rain.

The owner Robin was very nice. The property was beautiful. The cabin was clean and beautifully rustic about 3 ft from the creek, off the back deck. Loved the wood burning fireplace and the firepit area next to the creek. The (wild) turkeys were very cool! Would do again!

Perfect Getaway From It All!

We so enjoyed our stay here! Robin was a gracious host and so welcoming to our family. Tubing in the rain down the stream was by far the favorite activity of our family. Also, fishing in the pond, gathering around the fire, and going for the day to Highland made this a well round trip. We definitely will be back!!
