This wonderfully appointed cabin was our destination over Thanksgiving. The host went over the top to make sure our stay was the best experience. Not only was the cabin exceptionally clean, she even decorated it for Christmas which was stunning! The property was very private even though it was so close to town. All the little things were thought of, so no need to over pack! My husband and I found new favorite getaway and will be back!

The cabin was our perfect little cabin in the woods for my husband and I for our mini honeymoon following our wedding. The cabin was comfy, with lots of places to relax. We felt like we were in our own little oasis. It was also a great jumping off point for day trips to local state parks amd the Shawnee National Forest, which allowed us to get some hiking in (which is something we love to do together). We hope to return for an anniversary trip in the future!
