Private 600 Acre Mountain Paradise

Another wonderful vacation spent in a little slice of paradise! Last year, we had three straight days of rain, this year only one afternoon of rain. We interspersed a highly competitive kickball game in between the rainy periods. Maybe next time we will finally get three straight sunny days... And there will be a next time! This property is amazingly beautiful and there's always more to do - hiking, sports, fishing, canoeing, salamander catching, creek exploring.

Make sure the directionally-challenged ones in your group take a paper map with them if they leave the property... we almost lost one of ours who ran into town for something. Thankfully, she finally made it back after some hours of wandering. The owners are always easy to work with, the kitchen well-stocked, and the accommodations pretty comfortable. Despite so many people in the same house, the rooms stay pretty quiet - babies stayed asleep even with big kids running around in a raucous game of hide and seek.

Thanks for another great stay!

This was exactly what we were looking for. The property was big and beautiful. Cant wait to come back in the summer and try out that spring fed pool. We had 15 adults and there was more than enough space for everyone to spread out and enjoy. I highly recommend this cabin for anyone looking for a secluded place to unwind.

Cheers!

For the past 3 years, our group of 20 have returned to this property every winter - and each time, it provides EXACTLY what we need! There are so many amazing trails and spaces to explore on the property - so one of the highlights each year is letting people explore the grounds. Inside - we always have a fire going the whole weekend and people cozy up in the large main common area. There are plenty of beds so everyone comfortably fits to sleep. And downstairs has a great game room for people that need to get their ping pong battle on :) We'll be returning next year!!

We went up for a few days of R&R and that's exactly what we got. This place is so secluded and peaceful. At night the stars were amazing and during the day there's a great view of fields where we saw deer and turkeys and water where we got to see Canadian geese on a stopover on their way south! The owners provide plenty of firewood and we were able to enjoy their huge fireplace all day long. The home is comfortable and the kitchen is well supplied. Sitting in the rocking chairs enjoying the view we started making plans to come back in the summer to enjoy the pool and the big pond. The owners were very responsive and accommodating. Can't wait to come back in the summer.

This is our 2nd time renting the beautiful Fairhope Cabin in the woods, and it has earned a full 5/5 stars both times!

We found this house originally as a central meeting place for our expansive extended family as we no longer fit in any one of our houses, and still LOVE to enjoy the holidays together with our family dogs.

Our first visit was in December, and the roaring fireplace, ice covered lake, and cozy living areas made us feel so cozy and together.

This time we celebrated thanksgiving together and it was also perfect. We played football in the field, went on numerous hikes around the property, baked a full thanksgiving dinner in the well furnished kitchen, and had the opportunity to unplug and relax (with the opportunity to check emergency emails thanks to the new install of wifi).

We highly recommend this place and are so thankful to Josh and Michael for being so accommodating and making such a special place available to the public.
