Cozy and Clean

We had a great time! The property was much better than we expected. It was very clean, the hosts provided everything we would need and more, with firewood, a beautiful fire pit, record player, grill, and more. The cabin itself seems new. We felt safe and comfortable. The hosts were also easy to work with and very responsive to any questions we had. Would definitely alcome back and recommend to friends!

This adorable cabin is nestled in right amongst the trees. Enjoying a cup of coffee on the front deck and listening to the birds was a highlight of our stay. Excellent communication by the host and the cabin was well equipped with everything you would need. We did the side-by-side adventure-so fun! Also the underground kayaking, and went to a dirt racetrack for something different. Definitely go to Rockpoint BBQ, VERY good and there’s a little bar called 145 Roadhouse with the best cheesecake I’ve ever tasted and their wings and friend pickles were good too. Will come back!

About the host

Host profile image
Hey there! I am a small town girl that leads a simple life. I value time spent with family, friends and my fur babies(3 King Charles Cavaliers) more than anything materialistic. I'll never look back wishing I had more "stuff", rather wishing I had more "time" with those I love. I believe in being a "doer" and not a "dreamer". You've got this one life to live....so stop making excuses and make it happen! My favorite quote - "An unused life is an early death".
