The large property and private setting make for a great getaway. We loved how quiet it was. The place itself is clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. We had a guest from Utah, and he kept saying, "This is a great place!"

The cabin has a well stocked kitchen with full size refrigerator and stove and plenty of counter space for meal prep. There are plenty of comfortable beds, sofas and recliner chairs inside the cabin, plus Adirondack chairs, glider benches and picnic tables on the decks to enjoy sitting outside. The cabin sits on many acres and is very secluded with beautiful scenery including many different varieties of trees.

From the moment I booked this property, the host was in touch with us. The directions and house information provided were excellent. The property is absolutely beautiful and very private. The house was very clean and comfortable. The beds were very comfortable. The views from the windows were beautiful. We felt right at home. The wrap around porch was such a relaxing place to hang out and read or simply enjoy nature. If you’re looking for peace and quiet, we can highly recommend this place. We would definitely stay here again.

We enjoyed our stay! There’s plenty of room in the common area, and the double bed and three twin beds (one bunked) provided enough sleep space at night. Nice to have lots of outdoor space, including visiting hummingbirds and bees. The firepit has plenty of chairs including a rocker. We were curious about the sporadic gunfire (mid-August - maybe target practice?). Overall a nice relaxing experience for us, our adult kids, and grand-dog.

Good Morning Glad you enjoyed your stay. There is also a queen sleeper sofa in the great room plus the queen in the main bedroom. Not sure on the gun fire , I know of the hunt club a couple of miles to the east. Hope to see you back soon.

This location is a birders paradise and full of natural beauty. The host is extremely good at communicating. The place has all the amenities one needs. The beds could be improved they smaller beds you could feel the springs and the queen bed sleep number was not functioning. The bathroom is smaller but overall the place is welcoming and nice place to relax.

Good Morning Thank you for staying with us, I'm replacing the number bed today. I was just there and didn't know of the problem. I will look into the twin bed and may replace them. Has for the bathroom it is what it is.. When I designed the cabin it was designed for a weekend get away. I hope to see you again. Thank you again.

A very wonderful place to stay. Quiet, relaxing, and a nice "away from home" setting. Brian was a great and caring host. All the snacks (incuding the dog biscuits/nibbles after kibbles), supplies, and overall furnishings are nice. Would definitely stay again.
