Just as all the reviews have said Maj-Lis has provided a beautiful environment indoors and out. We loved walking through the paths mowed for a stroll amongst the sunflowers as well as the expansive area back behind the cabin. All the amenities were great and so many extra thoughtful items were provided. We'd definitely stay again and recommend The Getaway cabin to others

Our stay was a relaxing and a cozy stay. We loved the house and the property. Very clean and lots of open space. The house was fully stocked with everything that would be needed. The house has a wheelchair ramp and the lower was fully accessible, with a walk in shower which was a big plus for our daughter with Cerebral Palsy. We will definitely be returning for visits.
