Absolutely beautiful

We gathered as a family for a winter birthday weekend and couldn’t have asked for a more magical spot - the home was cozy and had everything (and more) that we needed, the hosts were gracious and extremely accessible. Plenty of dry firewood for some great fires. We hiked the many snowy trails and burned off our s’more calories. It was quiet and lovely and the kids had a great time sledding.

Perfect secluded getaway!

Our stay at Michael and Josh's place was everything we wanted it to be and more. The check-in process was very easy, the property had everything we needed, and Josh and Michael were very responsive throughout our entire stay. Everyone in our group had a great time walking around the woods, relaxing next to the fire, and playing outside. We are definitely looking forward to staying here again and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a private, spacious, cozy, nature-filled getaway.
