Great Getaway Cabin

This cabin was perfect for our weekend getaway…clean, comfortable and well furnished. It’s close to restaurants and attractions but far enough into the woods to be peaceful.

Great location and well-equipped

The cabin is well maintained, clean, and stocked with the basics. The location is excellent - in a quiet neighborhood just half a mile from 321 and the multipurpose path that runs a long it. If you like hot tubbing, this would be a good choice. I found the tub a bit intrusive as the motor came on regularly and it took up most of the back porch.
