Great stay

Great place to stay. On my favorite list! Clean, looks like the pictures. Will stay again. Only drawback is it's on a busy road, but otherwise great.

This cabin was amazing!!! Plenty of space, very well kept/clean, beautiful view. Very private, don't have to look at any neighbors. I think some said it was off a "busy" road, I guess it depends what you think is busy, it's a main road, yes, and it was a holiday weekend which made it kinda busy but otherwise it was pretty quiet. I'm huge into fishing and was on a trip looking for privacy, peace/quiet, and of course something on water with a fire pit (this place has two!) and I got exactly what I was looking for and needed. Tyler wasn't sure what I'd catch down there (it is a little shallow) but the blue gill were hot during the AM/PM bite and I saw bass/other larger fish passing through). Tyler was more than helpful and accommodating and great/prompt with responding. Hope to stay here again next time I'm in the area!!! Thank you so much!!!!

Family getaway

Had a great time at this property with the kids and dogs !!! Even though it is on a busier road , the backside of the lot is open lawn , quiet and serene ! Great place to sit and enjoy nature , sit on the dock and have the dogs run !!! The home was very homey and had everything we needed for our stay !!! Great overall location and close to many things !!!

Better than expected

This cabin rocks! The photos do not it justice, it is a beautiful space and I don’t even remember a tiki bar in the pictures or the fire pit! Due be careful with the stairs and not all the windows have blinds. We stayed while it was foggy but just something to note. One thing with the fire is there wasn’t a hatchet so bring your own. Loved my stay. Super super comfy.

This property is amazing! We wanted a quiet, secluded space for our family to recharge, and this cabin delivered that and more. There was plenty of room for us in the cabin, all of the modern amenities, and access to an amazing brook, surrounded by nature. Hidden away and yet less than 5 minutes away from the town where you could get anything you need. Amazing location, beautiful property, and overall a great place for a getaway!
