Great place! Well maintained & clean. Beautiful sunrises over the pond! Spiral staircase was tricky to navigate for some of our party, but is shown in the photos of the listing, so it is on us for not noticing. It is close to many things, but feels very secluded. All in all, we had a wonderfully relaxing visit.

Our stay was absolutely pristine! From our sweet gift basket and hand-written card welcoming us to the cozy, warm atmosphere, we fell in love with this glimpse of heaven. There were extra pillows and blankets for each room, plenty of family board games, children's books and toys. The location was nicely tucked away, with a few neighbors nearby. We definitely hope to come again for a longer stay to enjoy more peace and tranquility.

We had such a wonderful stay at this cabin! Terri was incredibly responsive and helpful from start to finish — any time we had a question, we got a quick and kind reply. The cabin itself was absolutely beautiful, spotless, and perfectly decorated with so many thoughtful touches. We especially loved spending time on the back deck listening to the peaceful sound of the water fountain and pond — it was the perfect spot to relax and unwind. We couldn’t have asked for a better getaway and would definitely stay here again!
