Absolutely Perfect Stay!Our stay at this cabin could not have been more perfect. The location was stunning, peaceful, scenic, and close to everything we wanted to do. And a major bonus were the deer that visited the yard every day! The cabin itself was beautifully maintained and thoughtfully outfitted with absolutely everything you could possibly need. Every detail had been considered, from the fully equipped kitchen to the cozy touches that made it feel like home.Michael was an outstanding host. He met us personally at check-in, gave us a warm welcome, and took the time to walk us through the property and share great local recommendations for activities and restaurants. He remained accessible throughout our stay, which made everything effortless and enjoyable.We’ve stayed in many rentals, but this one truly stands out. We can’t recommend it highly enough and can’t wait to come back!

Wonderful property

We spent a peaceful (if rainy!) week here to celebrate our wedding anniversary. This home is beautiful, bright, very clean and comfortable. This was by far the best appointed kitchen of any rental in which we have stayed (and we have used VRBO for many years on multiple continents). Highly recommend this home!
