5 miles from town is close enough if you need something yet far away enough to “feel” away. The area is rural and the fire pit of the cabin looks out over a meadow and Sylamore Creek. The cabin is clean, the kitchen well stocked, and the cabin has great lighting inside. My husband and I spent early mornings on the front porch drinking coffee, listening to the birds, and watching the squirrels. This is our second stay.
