Cabin was awesome. There is so much to do on the property to include pet farm animals, follow trails to waterfalls, a hot tub, playground and more. I wish we could’ve stayed longer. We used it as a place to rest from the activities we had planned in the area. But this cabin could be a destination all by itself. Definitely recommend.

Wonderful Stay

Everything about this place is wonderful. The property itself is beautiful, with plenty of things to do right there. It is mostly secluded, yet it is with in moments of the best local interests of the area. The welcome is personal and inviting, and the hosts are HAPPY to respond and help in any way they can. It is GREAT for a couple's getaway, but it can be really good for a small family visiting the area to relax and have things to do in the evenings. Well worth the visit.
