The property was as advertised and well appointed. The cabin was very nice and the king bed was comfortable. The star of this place is the outside grounds. The creek was rushing and wonderful to listen to up close or from the deck. The firepit was outstanding and loved the whole set up. Great place for a getaway.

My husband and I were very comfortable at the cabin. We enjoyed the creek and the fire pit. The sounds of the creek were so peaceful. The furniture was very comfortable. Overall, the cabin was a great place for us to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Hannah, the host, was quick to respond to our communications. She has a pleasant personality. We are planning another trip to stay there again.
