One of my all time for a vacation spot. The cabin provided lots of space for everyone both inside and outside. The beds and furniture were plentiful and very - very comfy. We had fun in the game room; fun around the fire pit and no one buried their heads in their cell phones and I-pads (that was a huge success). We all engaged one another when together. One of our best vacations ever. Will be back.

Girl’s Trip - Teachers Off Duty

We had an amazing time at the cabin! Our trip was just what we needed after a long school year. The house was beautiful and had plenty of space for all of us. We really enjoyed the outside space as well. They opened up their new game room for us to check out. It was awesome! Our wine tour bus even picked us up from the house. It was a great home base for all our travels and activities in the area. Katie was very accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. We would definitely stay there again!
