Beautiful, cozy, well-appointed cabin in an amazing woodland setting. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay while enjoying the fall colors and natural beauty of the area. All of the amenities of comfortable living in a true log home. Highly recommended!

It was a wonderful and relaxing experience. The hosts were awesome and helpful. The cabin was clean with a lovely veiw off the porch. My favorite part was the hot tub!

This was our third time staying at this cabin. As always, it was a lovely time. This time was just my husband and I. We enjoyed some fishing, hot tub time, walks around the property, and fires at night. We will be planning a family Christmas trip back for next year!

Beautiful view and very peaceful. Plenty of space indoors and out if you have yard games. We enjoyed the hot tub and having s'mores around the fire. The home was lovely and comfortable. Loads of activities close by for family fun. We are so grateful for being able to stay in this beautiful home!!
