Great secluded spot where you can step back in time and enjoy nature. What a great location being close enough to a town to grab a bite at a restaurant but far enough to feel away from it all.

Such a beautiful place. Cabin was a different experience with it being semi primitive but with such a charm that made us feel like home. With the sounds of the creek and trails around the property it was very relaxing experience. We even saw a turkey being pestered by a hawk in the front field and squirrels perched on the back porch to escape the rain.

The owner Robin was very nice. The property was beautiful. The cabin was clean and beautifully rustic about 3 ft from the creek, off the back deck. Loved the wood burning fireplace and the firepit area next to the creek. The (wild) turkeys were very cool! Would do again!

This is a beautiful property, the 22 acres have several cabins, a few right off your back porch. They are separated by a very pretty creek. We found this to be more like glamping, make sure to bring everything you may need from coffee to condiments, extra pillows and towels. There is a beautiful spot if you follow the creek towards the bridge for swimming/fishing( catch & release only)We feel as though the cabin wasn’t quite made ready before our arrival, the air conditioning is minimal, keep it in mind if you go during summer months. Definitely needs a few repairs and a good cleaning. The host are very friendly and timely in responding considering they were away during our stay. Also be mindful of steep stairs to the loft bedroom, this would not be a handicap friendly cabin. Remember to bring a few of your favorite movies, selections are slim. We brought cards and enjoyed playing on the bridge.Going to town is a bit of a hike, but it has so many shops! Overall this would not be a place we go back to, but look forward to our next adventure wherever that may be. Hope this review helps.

We are happy to share this little piece of heaven to the occasional rental. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
