Wonderful and beautiful wood cabin wrap around porch. Very rural. Everything you need if you want to be in nature this is it. We played during the day and came back in the evening to grill. No restaurants within a 30 minute area, so bring food and enjoy the surroundings to clear your mind.The bed is comfortable and cozy, which is important to us. Great getaway! Has AC and Kitchen with all the amenities.

The property was very clean and well maintained. The ACs worked great and were well appreciated after being outside in the July heat! The only appliance that didn’t work was the toaster but certainly survivable!!! :)The location was well situated for our trip. It was very quiet and peaceful.As it is 8-10 miles from the nearest station or quick shop make sure to take enough, ice and supplies. The owners were very nice and helpful.

It was a beautiful cabin. Very clean, cozy and had everything we needed. The wrap around porch was perfect for sitting and drinking coffee in the mornings and then enjoying the cool air of the evenings. Far enough off the highway there was no road noise, just peacefulness and seclusion.

Quiet, secluded, cool log cabin

Quiet, easy to find, cozy so be ready to share double beds if you are more than 4 - but nice experience with all the amenities of home. - Good tasting water

Spring Break Getaway

Our family stayed in this cozy cabin during Spring Break. It is a short drive to several trailheads that lead to some of the most beautiful views. The owner is knowledgeable about the area and able to make recommendations about which trails are right for your group. The cabin was well stocked for all our needs. We would definitely stay here again!

Secluded Cabin

The owners made it easy with directions to get to cabin and check in. Cabin is secluded and the outdoors is very quiet. My wife and myself had a great time here. Cabin is very well maintained. You might need four wheel drive. 😁😁
