Grafton Getaway-Cabin on 2 wooded acres just 1/2 mile from Main Street
Grafton Getaway - Cabin is a 2019 renovated home originally built in 1900. The long driveway crosses a spring-fed creek and winds up the hill to this secluded home which is surrounded by trees. Guests often hear the creek's flowing water from the front porch swing. This 1500 square foot home includes a full kitchen with complimentary coffee/tea/hot chocolate. The patio has a gas fire pit and the backyard has a Tiki smokeless fire pit with free firewood. Two hammocks and eight bicycles of all sizes are available for guest use. Watch for butterflies and hummingbirds which are drawn to the property by its many Mimosa Trees. 55 inch Smart TV and DVD player for rainy days. Make yourself at home! Or have a look at our waterfront sister property...Grafton Getaway - Riverhouse or our 23 acre Grafton Getaway - Farm with private fishing and wooded walking trail. Our newest locations are Grafton Getaway - Lodge and Grafton Getaway - Cottage. All five properties utilize staggered pricing so smaller bookings pay less than larger bookings.
As a hotel guest you would call the front desk when you need something, so if during your stay with us you ever feel your satisfaction is not at a 5-star level please let us know right away, while you are still with us, so we can remedy the situation and make your stay all you hoped it would be.

This was my 2nd time staying here and it won't be the last! Amazing Property and very clean! Lots to do outside and a short way to downtown Grafton. We enjoyed celebrating a friend's retirement.
Can’t say enough good things to describe how excellent our trip was. Host was very good with communication. Beautiful property and we had all we needed plus some.
We needed a place for the family to be all together for a graduation. Staying in hotels, you do not get to be together. This is a fantastic house with lots to do outside. Even though we booked last minute, the owner made sure it was ready to go for us. We will be coming back and staying again to explore the town...with just us adults and no teens. :)
Getting away to the Grafton Getaway was really good for our souls. The host, Brandon, communicates well and they have thought of everything you can think of to make your stay comfortable including free toothbrushes, coffee pods, and sound machines in every bedroom! The front porch with the swing and babbling brook below is a little slice of heaven even though we had quite a lot of rain during our stay. Had dinner and drinks out at Grafton Pub, 3rd Chute, and the Oyster Bar which are all within a mile of the cabin. We will most definitely be back when we want to experience Grafton and the peacefulness this property affords. I can see why guests have rated this place 5 stars. If I could give it more, I would!
We had a super quick stay and cannot wait to come back. The cabin is amazing—so much to do inside and out. It was clean and comfy, great layout. The communications for renting were super smooth. We can’t wait to come back and spend more time to fully enjoy the space—especially what the outdoor adventures hold!
My family loved staying at the cabin. Everything was clean & felt like home. Plenty of extras that made our stay special... games, record player, outdoor activites. Definitely need to stay more than one night next time!
Grafton getaway was an awesome place to stay at!! The host did a fantastic job at communicating and making sure our needs were met! Will definitely stay here in the future!
I threw a surprise party here and could not have asked for a better place! The host was easy to communicate with and I will be returning! Perfect summer stay
Lovely stay! Awesome cabin in the woods with every game you can imagine, inside and out! Only wish we had been able to stay more than one night! Will book again!
The outdoor space amazing. Lots of outdoor seating and games to play. Our family had a great time.

About the host
Hosted by Brandon Jeffers
I love to travel and am proud to have set foot on all seven continents. Throughout my wanderlust (27 countries and counting) I've met some wonderful people, had some memorable adventures, and I feel that hosting others in my Travel-themed guesthouse is a new and interesting way to "Ramble On".
Why they chose this property
Grafton has always been a favorite place of mine and as a General Contractor for a living when I discovered the vacant, run down property with no updates, a hole in the roof, a sinking front porch, etc. I decided to buy it and create a rustic, secluded getaway for my family, friends, and guests. I am a proud member of the Grafton Chamber of Commerce.
What makes this property unique
During my first visit to the property I heard the sound of the creek flowing from the front porch swing and it put me in a happy place, and I hope it does for you also.
