This is our second stay at the Butler Cabin. Each time has been wonderful. Every little detail from the sweet continental breakfast and snacks to the journal and decor are fabulous and take us back to a different time. The blue bonnets were in bloom and seeding. The lizards were out hunting and the breeze was in full swing on the porch. Things are so peaceful and slow paced at this beautiful location. It's nice to take a walk down to the creek or to the shops, breweries, and food establishments. And one cannot forget Hudson's on Mercer for live music and a drink. Our stay is always lovely and we will continue to come back for many years. Charlie and Sherry are very responsive to all messages and ensure our stay is a special one. Thank you Charlie and Sherry for sharing a piece of your heart and personalities with us. May God continue to Bless you and those you come into contact with. This or any of their cabins on this property are a MUST STAY!
