Stay at Cabin #2

I had a wonderful stay at cabin #2! Everything was very clean and comfortable. The location was close to hiking trails, which I love and also close to town for convenience. Steve was a great host and replied very quickly when I had questions. Would definitely recommend and hope to return.

Quaint cabin

Quiet! Clean! Soft, fluffy towels and plenty of them! Had everything we needed while in town visiting family. Thermostat was set between 75-78 and we couldn't change it. But the ceiling fan in the bedroom kept me cool enough. If you are picky about pillows I'd bring your own bc the ones at the cabin were kinda flat. Couch wasn't super comfy but the recliner was decent. Has satellite TV but not a lot of channels so bring your laptop or switch to stay entertained. No hairdryer that I could find. Overall recommend staying here!

Perfect weekend getaway

This was the cutest little cabin, a perfect place to end the day after visiting the wine trail. It had everything you needed and was very charming. The little details like snacks and toiletries were much appreciated! Would definitely stay here again.
