What a beautiful home! The directions provided by the host was fantastic and made check-in super easy. The house was cozy and my kids loved the bunk beds. We had lots of fun checking out the creek and fishing in the pond! I hope to book another stay in the future!

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Host provided excellent written instructions attached to an email prior to arrival. Read them and be prepared for gravel entrance road and gate/door codes.

The cabin is beautiful and the decorations are amazing. Our family enjoyed fishing at the pond all weekend. If you’re looking for a place to get away and relax with the family this is the place. The scenery is breathtaking definitely worth the trip.
