Overall very good. I’m glad we stopped for groceries beforehand because it is very isolated.

Sandra, we are so glad you enjoyed your stay. -- And yes, to let other guests know... the cabin is 10 miles from the main highway with grocery stores, fast food, restaurants, etc... and takes about 15 minutes to drive to those stores from the cabin. It's easy and very convenient to plan to stop at the grocery for your last fresh foods before these last 15 minutes of the trip.

About the host

Hosted by Celia Homsher

Host profile image
We bought this wonderful log home as our family get-away, close to home, about 15 years ago. We have so many wonderful family memories with our kids growing up, adventures out on the river (swimming, boating, waterskiing), entertaining friends... Our kids are now grown and we were not using our lovely cabin as much, so we decided to share it with other people so that they can create and enjoy fun memories of vacations as well. If you want a peaceful setting, winter or summer, this is it! Nature surrounds the cabin and is fun to watch from the deck. Bald Eagles and Golden eagles abound Dec-Feb! Deer visit year-round. Fishing is fun in the summer too....or just relax and barbeque on the deck with the fabulous view.

Why they chose this property

We love the cabin because while it is secluded, peaceful, and off the beaten path, it is only 15 minutes to get to grocery stores/shopping/entertainment.
