Summary: Beautiful property in the woods. Plenty of space for the dogs to run and play. This cabin will provide you with an “wow” factor. Just make sure you grab your supplies before getting in. You’ll want to be on the front porch most of the day. Would return in a heartbeat.
Apr 22, 2024 07:18:56 AM
Summary: This property is by far the most beautiful “cabin” we’ve ever stayed at in many years. Attention to detail is simply over-the-top. Sally is so communicative and if we had any questions she always replied immediately. We cannot say enough about it and its beautiful, peaceful surroundings. Will definitely return! I wish I could add photos as the rental photos do not do it justice.

Summary: I was extremely pleased with everything during my stay. This cabin is a gem. The first thing you see coming in is the fire pit and covered porch. Firewood is stacked and waiting. Yes, coffee on the porch watching the rain! The beautiful kitchen has everything you need. Sally provides blankets and food and water bowls for the pets. And that bathroom and shower! I was impressed with the over all cleanliness of the cabin. This is one of the best places I have ever stayed. Sally is very responsive with any questions or needs. Do not think twice about making a reservation.
