We had a great time staying at the cabin. Plenty to do around the area. We visited the Gray's fossil site and Bristol Caverns. We would definitely stay again.

This was our second time renting this cabin. We love it. The view of the mountains are beautiful and it is so peaceful and quiet near a farm where you can watch horses. The sunsets are gorgeous. The cabin has a an old wooden, rustic look which I love. They did not have any shampoo or body wash, so we had to buy it. An amazing little cabin to stay in.

What a unique and wonderful place to stay! We loved waking up and having coffee on the front porch watching the horses! Honestly, the view every time we walked out the door or looked out the window was just beautiful! Such a rustic cabin with all the modern conveniences, the retrofitted stove was my husband’s favorite!

We surprised our 85 year old mother because staying in a log cabin was on her bucket list. She was surprised and had to see every inch all at once. She really only enjoyed her stay.

This was a one of a kind awesome place to stay. The host was super helpful and accommodating. We said WOW so many times exploring the thoughtful touches all around the cabin. The landscape was beautiful and we loved sitting on the porch watching the horses graze.

It's the perfect escape with just enough modern conveniences blended in. It's always tough to find some place to take our fur babies. Just the relaxation and a perfect combination for the holiday

We had a few small hiccups upon arrival but our host Rick resolved immediately. The cabin sits on a horse farm & is beautiful as well as quiet. Being able to make a fire made it comfortable & cozy as did rocking on the front porch at sunrise & sunset. The beds are comfortable & a great perk to able to wash laundry while staying a day or two. Internet, TV & iphones all had connectivity entire stay. If your looking for a safe, clean, quiet, rustic place to hang out while on the road " You hit the jackpot" 100% would stay here again..

beautiful

We were expecting an old cabin located on an open space. We were amazed beyond our imagination with the cabin. It is incredible. the location wasn't as open as we thought, but it was beautiful. Very relaxing location. Cabin was full of a lot of stuff from dishes, bedding, games, and even some food. Very happy with our stay. Would definitely rent again if we get back tothat area.

Thanks, so much for your kind words. This place is a living part of history and thought sharing it with the world and the memories made there would be a good thing.

Very relaxing

We needed somewhere to unwind that we could also take our three fur babies. Couldn't have asked for a better escape! The sunrises, the sunsets, The horses right out the window. Just enough modern convenience blended in to an 1880's escape. Our fur babies loved the walks of the gravel driveway every morning and night. The horses would come over to greet us. Cuddling up to a warm fire was just the perfect touch to end each day. We plan to come back!

Hard to find this kind of listing that's pet friendly with a log cabin setting that is not crowded with other rentals. This was a slice of heaven with a country setting.
