Little Cottage in the Woods

This peaceful little cabin is nestled in a groove of oaks, facing a meadow and a meandering spring creek and a lighted fishing hole. It has a lot of privacy, an outdoor firepit, outdoor seating, trees, and a porch with a view of the meadow and creek. You may see an occasional grazing cow and there’s plenty of hiking, fishing and bird watching. Bring the old fishing pole. The cottage is extremely private, with a fresh water well, and state- of- the- art indoor heating and cooling.
The roof and ceiling of the cottage are repurposed with antique barn tin.
The cottage is furnished with old family antiques dating back to the late 1800’s. There’s a full kitchen with a beautiful, add-on, pioneer kitchen table. The kitchen is furnished with a Keurig and a microwave for those who really want to get back to basics, but not too far back! There is no wifi here. This place is not a hotel, but an old, refurbished cabin, smack dab in the middle of a working ranch! Don't be surprised if a cow greets you as you step outside the cabin for your morning coffee. We do not have fences around the cabin. Please be mindful of this if you bring your fuzzy babies along.
This cottage is a true get away. A rugged yet chic, old yet modern, unplugged place to retreat.
Come here and trim down, reprioritize and find your purpose again!

Rustic solitude
Enjoyed the rustic solitude. The step ups and step downs within the cottage were difficult with my old hips. We delighted in the neighborly deer. Acorns on the tin roof added to the rustic enjoyment.

Perfect quiet get away
What a cozy spot, close to everything but just tucked away enough to get away from it all. It's perfect for dogs to run around and so much space you feel like you are on a private vacation. We are aleardy thinking about when to come back and enjoy the peace and nature.

Perfect getaway
This little spot is lovely for a weekend getaway, and now I want to come for a longer stay! The property is beautiful, the cabin is exactly as described, and the sights and sounds of nature at this place can’t be beat. The location is great if you want a secluded vacation, but also close enough to restraunts and things to do up and down highway 281. Would definitely love to stay here again!
