Wonderful family vacation cabin

We had a large family gathering and stayed 3 nights at this beautiful property. It was perfect for our family of 20 that ranged from infants to grandparents. We would recommend this place to anyone! The slack line and play set on the property was a huge hit and eating outside on the large porch was so peaceful and relaxing. A really great place.

The house is magnificent, with its polished log aesthetic and comfortable furniture and fun decorations. We appreciated the collection of board games as well. There is wifi and two televisions. The view out the back is great, and we saw a couple deer out there. I spotted a real toad outside next to the sculpture of the three banjo playing frogs. We had a great stay!

There aren’t enough stars to give this place! We absolutely loved it. Everything was so clean and cozy, and it truly felt like a home away from home. This was our first family vacation in over 20 years, and the experience was incredible.The rooms were spotless, and we were all blown away by how well the kitchen was stocked—there were so many cooking utensils and supplies, everything we could possibly need was provided. The hosts really thought of everything, and it made our stay stress-free and enjoyable.Thank you for making this such a wonderful experience for our family. We loved every minute and would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable, family-friendly getaway!

Very nice place

We enjoyed our stay as the house was so centrally located to all the places we wanted to visit. There were enough bedrooms for all of us and my grandkids liked the loft. And the blooming lilac bush was so fragrant!The kids can get loud and the open staircase really carried the sound, but after the first day we adjusted and it wasn't really a problem.
