Birthday trip for my Wife

We stayed here with our Daughter and our dog for my Wife's Birthday. Love the Cabin and property Weber Grill and fire pit outside makes for a great camp feel. Indoor fire stove is small so bring small pieces of wood if intend to have a fire. the stairs are pretty steep so the dog would not go upstairs in the loft area. Kitchen is well equipped for a weekend stay, Hot tub was clean and nice and hot!

Only thing I would change wish there was internet at the cabin, and there would of been a sign to show the address took awhile to find the cabin to make sure we was going to the correct one. But other than that very nice and cozy cabin! Very clean and taken care of!

Restful and relaxing

Much needed restful weekend getaway with my husband. If you’re looking for seclusion, you’ll find it here. So Peaceful - literally only heard nature sounds for our 3 day stay. If you need entertainment, bring your own - with no WI-FI and only a few channels on TV, you’d be wise to bring cards, board games, DVDs, etc. Cannelton was a fun little town to explore. We also enjoyed a few local eateries, wineries, and antique shops.
