A sweet little blue bungalow with birdies to match

A great little stay away from the city to enjoy some peace, quiet, and good ol’ Mother Nature. A very welcoming and clean cabin, the perfect place to reconnect with yourself

Quiet retreat while working on the EBT

I spent a week working on the EBT Railroad and it was great to have a quiet retreat to come home to in the evenings. The Cottage had all the amenities and appliances that I needed to relax and even make a few home cooked meals. This is my go-to place to stay when I'm in the Orbisonia area.

Perfect birdhouse

This was a perfect place for my husband and I to unplug and reconnect with God, each other and nature. It was so quiet on the back porch we could hear the wings of the birds fluttering as they took off.

Perfect getaway

Spent one night here to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary. Wish we could have stayed a week! Super clean, very cozy and private. Felt right at home. Added bonus of not having a TV or wifi! Perfect place to spend time with each other and nature without distraction.

Cozy cottage in the woods

Perfect spot for my husband and I to celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary. It’s off the beaten path yet just anywhere between a 20-45 minute drive to local restaurants; golf; and Raystown Lake. Loved exploring the beautiful surrounding area.

Great Getaway

We should have stayed 2 days to relax more. The place is nice, and if stayed longer we would bring or buy some of our food to cook and hang out there. The song birds were on cue as they were singing away Saturday morning.Loved it!

Incredible small cabin

I couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. I came by myself this trip to spend time on the east broad top railroad and Raytown Lake. From the moment I walked in I was impressed with how clean and comfortable it felt. The property owners have a great little cabin here and I hope to come back. I had a great time and a great stay.
