Thornwood Cottage is the perfect little get away

Thornwood cabin is a beautifully wood-crafted space that is easily accessible from the main driveway. This cabin offers a small living area with new queen size sleeper sofa, equipped with a small kitchen, as well as a loft that includes a queen-sized bed. It provides a private space within very close proximity to the Thornwood house. This will have all outside hookups to charge your fishing boat, perfect for those seasoned fisherman! This a cabin, so the bathroom is not inside the cabin, but is just a few steps off the deck. It is solely for this cabin, has just been remodeled. There is an outside entrance from the Thornwood house. This is a full functioning bathroom, with newly remodeled toilet and shower. There is solar lighting on the path to bathroom, flashlight is also hanging by the door if needed. The fire pit is just a few steps out back of the cabin, wood is available to purchase at a reasonable price. Note - we do rent both the Thornwood house and the cabin separately , so there may be other guest staying at the other location.

Staying here has turned into a tradition for us. It is a great intimate little space where we have been able to enjoy the outdoors during the day and came back to tell hunting stories at night.

We had the best visit at the Thornwood Cottage! The owners were extremely nice and accommodating. The cottage was cute and had everything we needed. Even though the bathroom was a short walk from the cottage, it was spacious, private, and easy to access. Would highly recommend staying here if you're in the area!

This property is in the best location,15 or 30 minutes from a dozen sightseeing locations. Beautiful and private property with wildlife all around us (mama deer and her twins visited every day).Property owners so helpful with suggestions for the many activities and eating establishments in the area, even checking in our first morning to make sure we had everything. I am looking forward to our next visit and stay at this same location.

Weekend get away
Everything was great but the only thing I would change is the stone walkway to the bathroom and shower house. In the middle of the night when needed to go to the bathroom it was hard not to trip but I would recommend this place to everyone

Gorgeous property and wonderful hosts
This is a little gem of a cabin where I went to write and relax. I took a long hikes during the day and wrote at night and found the setting to be absolutely perfect. John and Jane are kind and wonderful. The cabin has everything I needed and more. And the surrounding area is absolutely beautiful, quiet and inspiring. I will be back!!!
