Cozy cabin with privacy in a great location
We had a wonderful stay in this cabin. Every room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The bathroom and kitchen are a nice size and there's also a loft with room for another couple or children but we didn’t need to use that space. We loved relaxing in the hot tub every night in this peaceful setting and the arcade game was a big hit. Playing the games brought back memories from the 80's for us. We highly recommend staying here. You won't be disappointed!

Perfect family vacation
Tucked away in the perfect spot. Just minutes away from several amazing restaurants and stores. The cabins hosted my family of 4 and our 2 dogs and it was the perfect size. The hot tub was the best to end the day. Kids took full advantage of the arcade machine and loft area and the dogs really enjoyed the spacious porch. The cabin was equipped with everything we needed for our stay. Derek made it super easy to extend our stay an extra night too. Will definitely be back to rent this cabin. Easy to find, no steep drives!
