This was a trip we will remember! We loved the place and being able to just have a relaxing weekend getaway. We did travel during the winter storm - to which Allison was extremely helpful throughout all of it (offered a refund/move the date - we still came), made sure that if we needed any extra time/days that we were welcome to do so for our safety. Excellent communication.

Cabin was very cozy and sparkling clean. We enjoyed the hot tub. Maybe it could’ve been a bit warmer. It got very cold on one of the days and the AC heat wasn’t enough. A space heater would’ve been amazing but overall still a good time to disconnect and recharge.

Everything was neat and well organized. Lighting outside was very well done, and the pictures do not do it justice. Very peaceful and quiet area. Inside was all modern appliances and furniture. Very clean. The closed in porch area was nice to keep you out of the rain with a good view also.

Cabin and outdoor area of cabin was perfect! Allison was in text contact with us for any needs we would have had, but there were none! Tastefully updated. Hot tub just the right size. Outdoor water feature was right outside the screened in porch for late evenings if you did not want to look at the lake.

Super cute cabin on beautiful property. The hot tub and fire pit were amazing after hiking all day and the landscaping was gorgeous. It was perfect for our romantic getaway!
The front of the cabin, with the fire pit off to the left
The fire pit/grill area is up against a natural rock formation and is very pretty. The whole yard is very private and serene
The view from the front windows. We saw lots of birds and deer.
