We loved our stay here! Beautiful property, quiet and peaceful. The cabin itself is clean and fully-stocked with everything you'd need. And it's beautifully designed and decorated with care, not just slapped together. We would definitely stay here again.

This place was as advertised, and we did not want to leave. The cottage setting was perfect especially in the fall and inside was clean and cozy. It definitely gave off 90's Hallmark movie vibes both inside and out. Do not let the bathroom being separate from the cabin be something that turns you away. My wife and I could not think of a single complaint, we would love to stay again in the future.

It was the perfect spot for a weekend getaway. It was so quiet and peaceful out there in the country, yet close enough to town to venture in and take in the sights. Jane was very quick to respond when we reached out to her. We would definitely consider renting this cabin again.
