Excellent little cabin!! Super clean and lovely, hosts are awesome! Will be coming back for many trips and stays here! Great location for fishing and hiking, my dog was in heaven. Thank you!!!!
This cabin is a great destination for a relaxing and rustic weekend away! It was very cozy and we were pleased to find out that there was not only a wood burning stove but also a heater in the cabin. We had everything we needed for a weekend stay, however I would advise bringing your own water.
Great time because everything was perfect for us. Cozy cabin that you just disconnect with the wood stove...Or plug in and watch a movie...We'll be back!
my family loved it and my grandmother said the bed was so comfy and my mom and aunt said they whish they we not so busy so they could sat out side more and we will daffily stay again if ever needed
Very nice place for a short trip or a longer stay.
My wife and I go on a few special trips each year. In the last 9 years this is the first time she said she didn't want to leave. The place is perfect for a couple looking to get away to the simple life.
We spent the day relaxing, thrashing some trails in our Jeep, and eating good food, whether is was from local establishments or stuff we could prepare right there. Looks like it would be a great place in the summer, too.
It worked for what I needed at the time but it’s not secluded, it’s in the middle of what looks like a residential area. The cabin was nice for just myself and quiet.

Cozy cabin
Pic is misleading or was to me looked like it was off by itself it’s actually in a a area where neighbors are very close. We were there in March for my wife’s B Day. WIFI and TV unreliable. Cabin well equipped kitchen, bathroom. Did enjoy the wood stove ambiance.
Very happy with our stay.. place was clean and had everything we needed including a coffee pot.. tyvm. Bed was comfortable and the shower was hot with good pressure. Nice quiet neighborhood and tho the cabin was in a residential area it was very wooded and secluded. Cabin can be a little tricky to get to.. make sure you follow her instructions and not the gps. The real Gem of this place was the outdoor screen room.. good size.. has a small hibachi propane grill and a picnic table. (also a bigger grill outside) Spent some time each night out there enjoying the night sounds bug free.. Our stay was very nice and peaceful.. would def recommend and will be coming back. Also.. saw indigo buntings, eagles, a barred owl and many other birds. We saw a bear on one of the fire roads and many deer.. love this area.
My husband and I were there for a quick stay, quicker than we had planned on because my husband came down with a bad cold. We had a tiny bit of trouble finding the place - mostly because we could not see any street signs or the road as it was covered with falling leaves!! Beautiful area and we had detailed directions from the host.
Because my husband was ill I opted to sleep on the futon/couch. I'm sad to say it just was not comfortable. The bed must have been as my husband slept well.
We did not cook in the cabin and the freezer needed a good defrost. If we had stayed longer we would have enjoyed a meal or two outside in the screened in patio, it was very inviting! We also did not take advantage of the areas the host had suggested. We stumbled onto one bakery on our way into the cabin, it was very good!!
We had just come from a wedding in Chicago and had spent three nights in a luxury hotel - we were a bit spoiled!

Goodfor the price
Wasn't the cleanest- toaster oven was so dirty it was unusable, trash can outside was overflowing and had mold in it. There was very little light as it was and the bedroom light was burned out. The pics made it look like the screened in area was in a secluded area where you could enjoy nature. It’s not. This is a very residential area. Houses on all side. But for the price it's not bad. expecteexpect.
Great communication from start to finish. We did a river trip and visited family near by.
This is”Glamping” well done. Very clean cabin, 5 star for sure on cleanliness.
Rental rate is well priced. Peaceful and everything you need for Glamping! Pack your food and beverages, grab some wood and you are all set!!
Cute little cabin. Has everything you need. Cabin was clean. I loved that coffee was provided. The host was fantastic. Linens were provided. If you want to go back in time and enjoy the simple life this is the place for you. The backyard has a screened pinic area. Cable and internet provided.
