Before Arrival - Please let us know if you would like the pull out couch made up as the second double bed for you. If needed, it will make your stay more enjoyable and it is no bother for us.

As you look out the windows or lay in bed looking out the french doors, you will gaze upon the edge of our pond that has an abundance of bass, sunfish, frogs and other aquatic life. It is almost a guarantee that you will see our resident cottontail rabbits that reside in the spruce trees behind the cabin.

Inside the cabin is a kitchenette with all of your basic amenities including a double hotplate, cooking utensils, sink with hot and cold running water. The cabin also offers heat and air conditioning, ceiling fan, refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, French press (with coffee, creamer, and sugar), and hair dryer. On the outside of the retreat there is the enclosed shower house with hot and cold water. The toilet (Composting) is also outside in its own private enclosed structure.

Outside Activities - You have access to our full 120 acres via our extensive trail system. The forest is a mix of mature hardwoods, conifers and open fields. You have the opportunity to see and interact with whitetail deer, wild turkey and possible see our resident owls. You can bring your fishing poles and catch your dinner in the pond (limit of two bass per stay) that you can cook on the supplied charcoal grill.

Items to Note - Please be clear in your booking request with the total number of adults, children and pets that you will be bringing. This will allow us to make your stay as comfortable as possible. If you need to change the number of guests/pets that will on site after you have booked, you will need to request that before you arrive. Due to liability/insurance reasons we can not allow more occupancy that what is stated in your confirmed booking contract.

Pets - While we do welcome you to bring your furry friends as we also have our own, please do not leave your pet unaccompanied at any time. A new location for them can be very stressful and cause unexpected damage to occur.
