Why Michael Ashworth chose Big Island
We bought this property because it had many qualities that I knew would make it a great get-away. First is location. There are no other homes in sight. The closest in one direction is over 1/4 mile and in the other direction over one mile. Too many vacation get-aways are jammed up together and offer no privacy or peace. Another attractive is how cozy the cabin is. It's an A-frame and not a sprawling mega-house with no personality.
What makes this cabin unique
This property should be specially attractive to guests because it's directly handled by the owners. We want our guests to have the same quality vacation we expect when we travel. We encourage and welcome our guests to call us at any time while staying here if they have any issues or need any information about the area. Since, cell phone service is limited in the area of the cabin, but we do have a landline phone that has national unlimited useage.

A Grimm Fairy Tale Escape
A great place to get away from reality. Cozy and a great couples retreat.
Great quiet cabin in the woods.
This was a great place to stay for the weekend. Very clean, quiet, and cozy. Will definitely be back.
Sleep to the softly cascading creek
Excited to book this getaway in every season! Its simplicity, remote location, immaculate hot tub & easy access to Otter Creek was ideal for our family. Note to self: in future bring a sharp kitchen knife & coffee grinder.

Beautiful area great retreat
Very relaxing loved listening to the creek from the deck and hot tub
Sweet seclusion
This is a cozy little cabin tucked away in the country. We enjoyed the quiet and loved the sounds of the creek bubbling along and the birds singing. This wasn't our first stay and it won't be our last.
Amazing Cabin
We loved everything this cabin provided! The seclusion, coziness, lovely views, etc. We will be returning. :)
