Our stay at the cabin was really nice! It was clean and well stocked. The communication with the owners was extremely easy. In our down time from hiking we enjoyed some board games that were provided. We would definitely stay here again!

What a beautiful place! Unfortunately, it rained the entire visit but they've made this a very homely place with alot of indoor activities to do! My favorite place was the porch,watching the hummingbirds as the rain fell!The owners we're extremely helpful and communicative. My husband had an accident on the property and they were nothing but kind and caring! We ended up in the ER the day of our departure and they didn't rush us out by allowing us to stay as long as we needed that day! Would absolutely visit again! Even our old man dog enjoyed the pet friendly home!

This is our second time staying at this wonderful cabin. We love the peaceful haven in the woods. So did our dog! It is a lovely place to walk and relax. We utilized the garage this time which was perfect. The gas stove was great for pancake cooking. Lots of counter space. The hideaway deck with rocking chairs was just off the dining area under the tree canopy. It was a great place to chat. We could open the screened windows and french doors to let in the fresh air. It truly was home away from home for us.
