This cabin was awesome. We lived the history that was shared with photos. The cabin was nestled far back in the woods, so much privacy. We will definitely book this one again. Thank you.

Did the job.

The bed was comfortable, the water was hot and I liked being able to cook and store things in the fridge. Watch out for the forest friends in the attic, though.

Best vacation ever!

My husband took me away for a weekend here and he knew we needed to be out as far as we could get. And it worked perfectly! The house was amazing and the property was just beautiful! We had everything we needed plus and I was able to just read and relax all weekend.

It’s a quiet location and very cute. However some of the furniture could be replaced as in the bed and the couch. However it was very much needed to get away and unplug from time to time.

Peace and Quiet

If you are looking for peace and quiet this is the place. Beautiful countryside and close to adventure. We had fireflies by night and bunnies in the morning. The small stream was peaceful, and the area is beautiful.

This is a true Rustic Cabin in the woods off a good dirt road that was very clean and had exactly what you needed. I was disappointed the wood burning stove didn’t work as that is why I chose this cabin.

Cozy cabin

Cozy cabin. Decorated nicely. Do make sure you get there before dark. The road leading in is difficult to navigate. If going before the gas heaters are turned on, your should bring a small electric heater.

Peace and quiet

We had a wonderful time on the property we met the owner. He was a very nice man and we he dealt with my husband for a while about service so he was happy but it was clean. It was beautiful and it was quiet. We really enjoyed our stay. We had a great time. We were close to the places where we could go in and see what we wanted to say. We were very very, happy with our choice

Very rustic cabin

Very basic, rustic home. Large space, put together in a very choppy fashion. Place was clean, except floor did not appear swept or mopped recently. Also, I was not prepared for lack of central heat/air, heat was through a variety of electric heaters throughout cabin.

Quiet

This place has so much personality. I loved the antique decor. The mismatched eclectic feeling. You could feel the history in the walls. The road up is extremely narrow, but pretty smooth. We had no issues in a small compact car, but luckily never intercepted anyone coming up or down. Plenty of sleeping space. The pots and pans were in pretty rough condition but other than that everything provided was nice. It was very quiet. Very remote. There was some kind of magic in those walls and I could feel it. Although we could've used a bit more toilet paper lol

Super nice. Update pictures. Great experience

We loved the area and how secluded in the mountains it was. Things were updated such as TV, Fridge, Stove. Etc. our only complain would definitely be the beds in the home. They are very uncomfortable and need to be swapped. Just really cheap feeling mattress. If your a super firm springing bed type of people it will be perfect but had trouble sleeping with stiff body on these beds. Could also provide updated cooking supplies blender mixers etc. we love to cook and grill and didn’t have the things to have that were expected to be in a place like this. Bath tub could be replaced as well or just updated. Other than that very nice home very nice area. !! Will be returning and hope next time will have everything the right way.
