The property was very clean and well maintained. It was an ideal location to visit multiple attractions around the area. The grounds were also very well maintained with plenty of room for dogs to run around. A little close to a busy road so bring an electric collar system or keep them on leash.

Wow! My wife and I stayed here with our two small dogs. This place is heaven! We rent houses often, and this is probably the most well-appointed property we have ever stayed in...they thought of everything!! The owner is a very nice lady who lives downstairs. We enjoyed chatting with her during our stay! That creek view is fantastic - we didn't want to leave!

This was a great cabin that was very clean, with many amenities. Our family definitely enjoyed our stay, the cabin was very accommodating for pets and grandchildren/kids. The master bath is really nice for relaxing. There is an amazing deck that overlooks this beautifully cared for property. We also really enjoyed the town of new Carlisle, which offered cute shops and a great coffee cafe…..we never wanted for anything…perfect stay. Thank you…Angela, Craig, Hennessy and Buddy
Buddy feels at home…Thank you.

All amenities included--you will want for nothing! Bath salts and candles next to the jet tub, travel toothpaste and toothbrush if you forgot yours, paper plates and plastic utensils sitting out, instructions for how to use the remote on the side table – they have thought of everything! The babbling Brook and secluded yard make this the perfect getaway – the owner is a sweetheart and super helpful! Will definitely be coming back with family

10/10 recommend! An absolute perfect hidden gem! The host and property manager are readily available for communication. Beautiful property and home that felt like a home away from home especially during the holiday season. Home was beautifully decorated for Christmas. We loved sitting by the Christmas tree and fireplace! Lots of windows overlooking nature's beauty- was so fun watching the variety of birds at the window feeder! House was very clean and had all the amenities you could need! Located in a nice area that felt safe. Pet-friendly and so welcoming of our pups! You'll be disappointed if you let this hidden gem slip through your booking fingers!
