Our stay was very quiet and relaxing which is what we were looking for. We enjoyed the peacefulness while sitting on the front porch and while having a fire a few nights. Nick, the host, was very friendly and responsive. We enjoyed frequent visits by Teddy, the golden retriever. Would stay again.

Nick and the dogs, Teddy and Graham, were the best hosts! The cabin is perfect and just like the pictures. Very peaceful, clean, and quiet. Lots to do on the property and Teddy and Graham make great tour guides. Super close to several wineries and little bars in town. We loved Defiance Ridge Vineyards! Will definitely be back!

We really enjoyed our stay here! It is located in a beautiful location, our favorite thing about our trip was probably sitting on the front porch relaxing and enjoying the view, while listening to nature. It was very clean. The center air worked excellent and the Wi-Fi was fast and easy to use. Within 10 minutes is two wineries, both very pleasant with good wine and food, and a couple nice mom and pop restaurants/ bars. We met the host and he was very friendly, and also has two dogs we truly had fun hanging out with. We would definitely recommend.

A peaceful retreat!

This cabin and its location were perfect for getting away from it all! We loved hiking on the property, the pond, and sitting out on the front lawn watching the sunsets! The cabin is super cozy and had all we needed! The host was also extremely helpful and had great communication! We hope to come back in the future! Thanks for a great stay!
