We had a great stay. This was our third time staying and everything was perfect. We enjoyed sitting out by the fire pit in the evening & enjoying a cup of coffee on the porch in the early morning. We saw a lot of wildlife. If you are looking for a nice quiet & clean place to relax I definitely recommend staying here.

The cabin was spotlessly clean and very comfortably furnished. The couch on the Front porch is not only incredibly cozy, but also the perfect spot for observing wildlife. The hosts are incredibly friendly. A fantastic and peaceful place to stay. Perfect for relaxing. Our dogs were always safe thanks to the fence, but could still run around or simply enjoy the sunshine outside.

Cabin was clean and had almost anything you could need except your groceries. Communication was great. My Wife and I had a wonderful stay here with our pup, Axel. We found a few gems there at the cabin which was nice to be able to do when we didn't go to the local Mines. We also had fun hunting all of the frog decorations. Definitely would be a fun adventure if you have small kids with you. We 46 frogs outside and 32 inside, this is counting individual frogs on each decoration. We also hit some of the local hiking trails. Definitely recommend.

We had a wonderful time staying at FrogHollow! Hosts were very hospitable and thoughtful (even post tornado!). My 6 year old really loved the frogs hidden around the house, the rocks, the treats, and the wildlife he could see from the porch. Even in the chaos, it was the getaway our family needed. We all left a little “hop”ier. Even with the tornado we had a blast and would definitely stay here again.Thanks so much from our little family of Gem miners!

Thank you for taking time to submit such a nice review. It sure was an unusual weather event. First time ever this area had this type of severe winds. Still waiting to see if it was classified as a tornado or not. Luckily, we only had a brief power outage! Thank you for understanding and we are glad you were able to utilize the back up plans we had in place. We are thrilled your family was able to make great memories here. We hope your next stay is a little less exciting! 😂

We had an amazing get away at this pet friendly secluded cabin! It was clean and organized and the hosts really had everything we could need and more! They were so accommodating and easy to communicate with, they even brought us some UV lights so we could try our hand at finding some gems in the creek on the property. Loved being immersed in nature and seeing the wildlife, and the fenced in yard was perfect for our pup. 10/10 recommend. They even had treats for us and our dog upon arrival. Close to some really cute towns and fun activities! Wonderful stay! Thank you!

The cottage was absolutely adorable! We loved everything about it. We enjoyed hanging on the front porch with our pups. The location was beautiful and close to everything. The hosts were very welcoming. And the cookies they left for us were delicious! And the pups enjoyed the cookies left for them too. A perfect weekend getaway.
