Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Host provided excellent written instructions attached to an email prior to arrival. Read them and be prepared for gravel entrance road and gate/door codes. Master bedroom and bath comfortable for older adults. Kitchen was well stocked. Loved seeing wildlife and hummingbirds.

The cabin is beautiful and the decorations are amazing. Our family enjoyed fishing at the pond all weekend. If you’re looking for a place to get away and relax with the family this is the place. The scenery is breathtaking definitely worth the trip.

Everything about this property was as advertised and exactly what we expected. The only drawback was the weather, but glad I could help provide some relief from the drought. Lol
