Completely renovated for guests in 2018, the Woods Cabin is nestled along the edge of slope that falls away to Lake Narrin. While it is located in relatively proximity to the other dwellings on the farm, it enjoys the privacy that comes from natural boundaries on all sides. Spacious inside, the key feature of the renovation was the transformation of the old garage into a living room with a glass garage door walk out to a wrap around deck, offering incredible views of the water.

The Woods Cabin has been recently refinished. The appliances, linens, and most of the furniture are new. This is a wonderful space for gathering with family and friends - the living room, dining room, and kitchen share a common area and in the back, a large indoor/outdoor entertainment room opens wide to a private deck.

This house feels quiet and private and is surrounded by the sounds and sights of nature.

There are three other cabins nearby on the property so you will see other guests on the property. The cabins are far enough apart where you will not be disturbed by the other cabins and will still feel secluded while getting to enjoy the peaceful scenery away from the hustle and bustle of home.

There are miles of forested hiking paths throughout the farm and access to Narrin Lake from these trails as well. Narrin Lake is a private-access, spring-fed lake with no motorsports. There are parts that can be quite clear and deep (85') and other sections are marshland. All of the shoreline is natural. If you plan to play in or near the water, we recommend water shoes or other foot protection.

We are working on building out a range of experiences for our guests to interact and learn more about the horses that live at Narrin Farms. We are not offering riding lessons or trail rides (yet!), but hope to do so soon. ****Please do NOT feed the horses. The fences around the pastures are electrified and are on at all times for the safety of the horses and donkeys; please do not touch the fence.****

You’re welcome to visit with the donkeys, Jackson and Samson, or the cow, Maxim any time! Please do not feed the donkeys (no matter how much they beg, or how cute they look).

***Please note, horses and donkeys on the property may not always be outside in the pastures or accessible as it is up to the owner’s discretion. FOR YOUR SAFETY, do NOT enter the barns or pastures without prior approval by Annie. This is not a dude ranch.***

Your host is Annie who also co-hosts with Holly and Carl. All three of us live nearby and are available if need be in person. Annie will make sure The Woods Cabin is ready upon your arrival so that you can walk in and make yourself at home. If you have questions, it’s easy to reach Annie or Holly via cell or the Airbnb app.

The farm is located in a rural area. Expect a country atmosphere and small-town presence. You'll need to drive on a dirt road for about a mile to access the property.

Our little town offers a 24-hour grocery store, bars, restaurants, and drug stores within just a few miles. Nine miles further down the road is the village of Clarkston, where you'll find unique and upscale shopping and dining. Major shopping malls, movie theaters, and big-box retailers are 25 minutes away. Please see my House Manual and Guidebook for details.

There's not much for Uber or Taxi services around the farm. You will want to have your own car.

For an accurate rate, make sure you enter the correct number of people in your party. The rate that defaults in the system is based on 4-person occupancy. Each additional guest over the age of two is $50/night.

If you are planning to have additional visitors drop in, make sure that you comply with the guidelines that are provided in the Rules section.

Many GPS Systems will route you to an old commercial entrance off Glass Road. Make sure that you enter through the main gates on the paved drive from Bird Road instead.

Please read the guest manual before arriving. It includes important instructions about how to enter the ranch and where to park.

There are a few farm dogs that reside on the property - they're our friendly pets but also have a job to do! Don't be afraid if you're greeted by them from time to time.

We aim to provide a peaceful and scent-neutral environment to ensure that each guest experiences a healthy, comfortable, and enjoyable stay with us. Burning, vaporizing, smoking, diffusing, or cooking anything that leaves a distinct odor after your departure or finding any drugs or evidence of partying violates this policy and will result in a $250 restoration fee. Smoking is STRICTLY prohibited anywhere on the property or inside the cabin.
Welcome! Here's your essential guide to making yourself at home on the farm. Read this before you arrive!

Checking In and Checking Out
The cabin will be locked when you arrive. Please refer to the Yale Keypad code and instructions you will receive an hour or more prior to your check in. When it’s time to check out, just turn off the Air Conditioner and/or turn the furnace thermostat to 50 degrees. Unless other arrangements have been made, check-in is any time after 4:00 p.m. and check-out is at 12:00 p.m.

Coming and Going
Some GPS systems might direct you to enter the farm via the commercial entrance along Glass Road. This is the wrong entrance and will lead you onto a grassy service drive through our fields and pastures . Instead, please use the northernmost entrance off Bird Road, which is paved, has an arch with three peaks and and leads directly to the drive that leads to your cabin.

When you pull into the driveway, you’ll face The Lodge – look for a big house with three red peaks. Come straight forward and then bear right as the drive splits and turns to sand. Park at the top of the fork and walk down the paved stairs/walkway to the cabin.

Please drive slowly when coming and going. It’s not uncommon for dogs or horseback riders to be wandering on or near the roads and paths throughout the property.

Entering/Exiting the Cabin
We use Yale keypad lock for our cabins. You will receive your own code one hour prior to your stay starting.

Here are the instructions to enter:

1. Tap the "Yale" logo
2. A keypad will appear. Enter your unique code provided to you.
3. Tap the check mark and the door should open.
4. Once inside, you can manually lock the deadbolt by turning it.
5. To lock the door from the outside when you leave, you simply tap the "Yale" logo and the door should lock.

We ask that you lock the door when you leave the property upon completion of your stay and of course at your leisure when coming and going each day.

Screen Time - Bring your Amazon login or Laptop!
The television in the living room that opens to the outdoor deck comes equipped with an Amazon Fire Stick, login with your Amazon account. You can also connect to your laptop with the HDMI cord provided at both of the TVs in this home. We have fast and reliable internet, so you shouldn’t have a problem streaming any of your favorite services or games.

Outdoor Couch Cushions
There are red couch cushions provided for the outdoor couch space on the deck. The cushions are stored in two boxes on the deck as well. Please feel free to use them, we ask that you store them in the boxes each night so as to help protect them should it rain or snow! Please store the cushions in the boxes upon check out.

The Garage Door
Feel free to open the garage door at your leisure to enjoy the great outdoors from inside the comfort of the home! You unlock the garage door on the sides and pull it open and closed manually. Please be sure to never leave the home unoccupied with the garage door open and be sure to close it each night before you go to sleep. Please leave the garage door closed when you check out.

Narrin Lake & Activities
There are numerous forested hiking paths throughout the farm and access to Narrin Lake from these trails as well. Narrin Lake is a private-access, spring-fed lake with no motorsports. There are parts that can be quite clear and deep (85') and other sections are marshland. All of the shoreline is natural. If you plan to play in or near the water, we recommend water shoes or other foot protection. There's a trail marked with green and white arrow signs that will lead you from the barn area to the dock access to the lake. From the dock you can fish (at your discretion if you purchase a fishing license), and wade out to the deeper, clear waters of the lake to swim. Just a heads up: we're in the process of renovating this area; we will notify you before your visit if there are any changes.

The Donkeys, Cow & Horses
We are working on building out a range of experiences for our guests to interact and learn more about the horses that live at Narrin Farms. We are not offering riding lessons or trail rides yet, but hope to do so soon. ****Please do NOT feed the horses. The fences around the pastures are electrified and are on at all times for the safety of the horses and donkeys; please do not touch the fence.****

You’re welcome to visit with the donkeys, Jackson and Samson, or the cows, Maxim and Luca at any time! Please do not feed the donkeys or cows (no matter how much they beg, or how cute they look).

***Please note, horses, cows and donkeys on the property may not always be outside in the pastures or accessible as it is up to the owner’s discretion. FOR YOUR SAFETY, do NOT enter the barns or pastures without prior approval by Annie. This is not a dude ranch.***

Wildlife and other Critters
There’s lots of nature outside your door! You might hear the coyote rounding calls at night, and there’s fox, hawks, and eagles cruising the property as well. There are beaver, mink, muskrat, and a variety of waterfowl that hang out at the lake. The raccoons and skunks as well as mice love your food and garbage, so please make sure you clean up after your picnics and keep a tight lid on the garbage can!
