If you want peace and quiet, the beauty and solitude of nature but plenty of opportunity for adventure, My Little Blue House is perfect! We have rented this property twice before so we came with our three children and our family dog for a quick family get away. I don't know who had more fun; the kids or the dog! The house sits next to two creeks. When the dog wasn't playing in the water, the kids were! My favorite place was the front porch where the owner Karin has a comfy day bed. My wife spent hours out there reading, relaxing and napping. Plenty of birds singing and a babbling creek. Who could ask for more! Our hostess was so nice and accommodating as always! The property sits on many acres and Karin provided us with a map to hike the trails that connected back into the national forest. Even though we have stayed before, she gave us new ideas on where and what to do. It's close to town but far away in ambiance nestled in the forest. There was a bottle of champagne waiting on our arrival as well. I had told her it was going to be my wife's birthday while staying there. As far as the house, it's charming but also modern! It was very clean as expected and as usual, with all the accouterments and amenities you can think of. We were told it was remodeled a few years before and it looks it! It;s really a home not a cabin as it was her own primary home. The fire pit out under the trees was like camping! We also used the grill multiple times and ate out on the picnic table . We will keep returning and we have already made plans with Karin to return next year! Thank you Karin for a wonderful vacation!!
