The best experience of relaxation and connection to nature we've ever had. The location has electricity and wifi but cell reception is iffy. Perfect for those wishing to disconnect.
Remember, this is a home where people live and not a secondary income property with hotel ammenities and a management company. Those looking for and expecting a memorable rustic experience will be thrilled. A 3 bdrm log cabin: 1st floor front porch facing private stream fed pond, great room kitchen/dining/living combo with 2 sofas, a dining table big enough to seat 12 and a wood stove, small single bdrm, full bathroom with stacking washer/dryer, 2nd floor loft with TV (prime and netflix) and full futon and small sofa, half bath, full bdrm with pond facing balcony, and small full bdrm. Plumbing, water pressure, and flushing work very well. This home had hard well water so there is a vague smell and taste that disappears eventually. They have an easy to fill drinking water cooler for that purpose. After a brief wait the natural mineral water tastes great. Kitchen includes gas stove, refrigerator, and dishwasher (we did not use). Stove and oven cook well- we made pancakes, stir fry, and lasagna.
The property is off a rural road mostly hidden from neighbors. Only one small place can you "see" the occasional car, but that is across the property far from the home. Very quiet with only the occasional truck. There is a wooded babbling brook to the north of the property (access trail behind wood working shed) and a lovely heart shaped pond in the center of the property. Despite the abundance of water, we had no mosquitoes (late Sept). The pond is safe for dipping feet or swimming in warmer weather (too dark to see bottom). We saw many salamanders in the area (proof of clean environment). We also saw many birds and deer. Front porch is perfect for lounging. There are also lounger seats, Adirondack chairs, a picnic table, and a fire pit across the pond great for roasting marshmallows.
The celebrity here is the working outdoor cat named BC. Healthy, friendly, clean, and always up for pets when you sit outside. Part of staying here is feeding the cat twice a day. But really it is a pleasure. BC is a love, and we spent hours cuddling the cat.
Other reasonable expectations are to properly sort the trash, recycling, and composting and to not put grease or non-septic safe items down the drains.
Fantastic retreat, romantic getaway, and family fun adventure.
