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.
This piece of property is stunning, we stay during leave change with our pup and couldn’t have had a better time. The property is bordered on three sides by a beautiful creek

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!
We stayed here for a weekend and absolutely loved the place. It's very quiet and very beautiful. I wish we had more time to stay there. The owners were every nice and respected our privacy. Would definitely stay again.
Such a fantastic property! Beautifully decorated in vintage style. Amazing location. Tranquil, cozy, totally relaxing. We definitely want to come back (maybe in winter)
The property is beautiful!!! So relaxing with a wide stream running along it and in back of the rustic cabin. Trails for hiking. If you want to get off the grid this is the place for you. The hosts were great as well!
Upon arriving at the property, we immediately fell in love with the seclusion in the setting. We will definitely plan on coming back to this place. Thank you again

We were so happy to host you! You both are welcome anytime. Thank you for leaving the cabin in such great condition when you left. Have a great summer hope to see you soon! The Callahans
This place is a fantastic place to stay. Your off the beaten path, if you want to escape reality and no technology this place for you. . I would love to have my honey moon there . Will stay there again. Robbin and husband great people. Great hospitality.
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!!

About the host

Our family has truly enjoyed this cabin and property. The kids love swimming onsite in the swimming hole, fishing in the creek (we stock regularly), and I personally enjoy reading and doing yoga on the deck. We are happy to share this little piece of heaven to the occasional rental. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
