Pine Tunnel Getaway

The property was a beautiful forested getaway from the hustle and bustle of city life. We enjoyed the fire pit in the evening and made breakfast outside on the Blackstone Griddle in the morning. The trails were fun to explore on this expansive property. The cottage was clean and comfortable. I would definitely recommend staying at this peaceful oasis!
