We had a wonderful time at this cabin. It was very spacious for our family (we had 11 for our trip) and very clean. The kids loved the ping pong table downstairs and fishing in the private pond behind the house. My son caught a very large catfish and lots of bass. We enjoyed walking the neighborhood and going down to the river. Our host was wonderful and very responsive. We cooked every night and the kitchen had everything we needed. We also loved the decorations and homey feel of the cabin. I give this home a 10/10! Thanks Tana!

Check in was easy, because of the keyless entry and communication from our host providing all the information we needed. We loved the wraparound porch with ample deck furniture and outdoor grill. We also enjoyed the fire pit. So nice for sitting around and sharing stories and memories. The kitchen was large and very well stocked. The views were lovely, and we appreciated being in quiet and peaceful surroundings. Great spot, great hosts, plenty of parking too

This could not have been more perfect for our family getaway. The gated wrap-around porch was great for our little ones to run. Our grandson caught a huge fish in the pond. All the sitting areas inside and out let us enjoy being together, while offering quiet spaces as needed. We’ll be back!

Rest for all

This home had room for our children and grandchildren. The wraparound porch was amazing, the views were stunning, the July air was cool and refreshing. The house was immaculate when we arrived and had everything we needed, even a high chair! There was plenty of adventure nearby, but we mostly enjoyed being together in this home.
