Perfect size for the two of us. The tall stools with the dining set felt unsafe for us likely due to being seniors. Found sitting on the porch facing the woods very pleasant. it had a table we used as an alternative. Decorated very nicely throughout. Quite, peaceful, Many scenic drives nearby. Beds are big and comfortable. Endless number of bathroom linens and abundant toiletries.

About the host

Hosted by Kandy L Page

Host profile image
Halfmoon Hideaway was built as a vision to be passed on to our kids one day. A relaxing cabin set in a natural setting, built entirely by your hosts. We wanted to have a vacation rental and could never find just the right one to buy, so we built our own, by hand (without previous experience). We could not be happier with the result, and we know you will love it too!

Why they chose this property

The property was built with hand cut lumber from local trees and planed by hand right on location. Your hosts worked evenings and weekends to build Halfmoon Hideway to be the special relaxing home away from home. We didn't choose this property, it kind of chose us, and we know you will love it as much as we do.

What makes this property unique

Built by hand by your hosts, with attention to little details to make it comfortable and welcoming. You will have to come see it for yourself!
