Remote and quiet
Had to cut our time short so we didn’t get to hike the nature trails. But loved hearing the whippoorwills the first night. Fred was there to greet us and get us settled in. The chocolate chip cookie welcome was wonderful. Well equipped and clean.

Perfect for us! Fred was the best! Had a batch of the best cookies when we arrived! It was very cold outside and he gave us a package of hand warmers! Worked out perfect for us! Thanks again Fred!

Above & Beyond
Fred and his wife were beyond accommodating from check with my very late arrival (midnight) and during my stay. There were delicious cookies waiting for me when I arrived and Fred let me utilize a clothes dryer, boot dryer and archery target which was a real help! Highly recommend this for a secluded and quiet stay or for a hunter looking for a nice base location.
