This cabin was the perfect place for us to celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary. It was away from everything and so peaceful, yet still right there close to things. We had a wonderfully relaxing trip. The fire pit and hot tub were great!
It was the the cutest little cottage , it was so peaceful and quiet!! Will definitely return.

Leigh, thank you for the lovely review of Country Cottage Getaway! We're so happy to hear you enjoyed the peaceful charm of the cottage. We'd be delighted to welcome you back anytime!
The property would best serve a short term stay rather than a longer one. It is in a wonderful location, clean & exactly as shown on the listing.
