Amazing and tranquil
What a great property! We were there to celebrate our daughter’s college graduation and the space perfectly accomodated our family. Bonus for the sounds of wildlife at night and the grazing chickens during the day. The cabin was well stocked. Carl and Ann thought of everything! We’d stay again in a heartbeat.

A great stay!
I stayed at this cabin with a group of friends for a ski weekend. It was perfect! It was cute and rustic, had beautiful views of the snow and trees, and was only a 15 minute drive to the ski resort. The owners were also very welcoming and helpful.
