Really great place to stay, amazing views and a cozy cabin. There was a bottle of wine and cookies laid out for us which we enjoyed on the porch. If our plans allowed us to stay longer we absolutely would have.

Relaxing place

It was a fantastic property and we were able to relax and enjoy the area. Lynn puts a personal touch to the property with how well it is stocked with extras that is not expected. We will definitely be telling our friends and family about it.

I enjoyed my stay. Even though the property is close to town, the location and view from the property makes you feel like you are out in the countryside. That made the stay very pleasant. The cabin has a wonderful rustic feel. It has all the modern amenities. Lynn is extremely helpful.
