Private cabin with the forest as a backyard. The location was perfect for us for hiking along the creek and relaxing on the front deck. Beautiful view and lots of deer and blue birds! Host was very responsive to questions.

Charming cabin

The cabin was everything we hoped for. It was very nicely designed, clean, extremely well stocked, and private but not uncomfortably isolated. The owner was very responsive and eager to ensure a good stay.
