Wonderful Cabin in the woods!

We loved our stay at the cozy cabin! Our teenage daughter was excited to have some of her own space in the loft. Came for the eclipse and were so delighted with the beautiful setting of this property.

Very clean and everything you would need. Close to towns and small family cafes to eat. Yet off the road enough it was very private and felt like camping but in a tiny house. Loved it.

Good little spot for a private getaway

We enjoyed our stay, although the pest control people came and knocked on the door in the morning and there were cockroachs in the coffee maker, as well as mice in the outside storage box. Otherwise, perfect for a private getaway!
