We spent 2 nights in the Hansel and Gretel Cabin and it was better than we had expected. It was cozy, intimate, and so peaceful. If you are looking for a nice place to escape the day to day chaos and you love nature this is the place for you. However remember this is a cabin in the woods and there are somethings to consider. There are critters. We watched the squirrels playing and listened as they ran across the balcony roof. There will be the typical bugs and spiders. (only one was spotted in the cabin and he was promptly set free). The wifi does cut in and out but that is because you are in a secluded location. The cabin is comfortable and well cared for. The grounds keeper and cabins manager take great care of the cabins and they will help in anyway they can. We truly enjoyed our stay and already have plans to return and hope to make this a regular getaway.
We arrived late on our first night with a minor issue that we reached out to Nathan about. I did not expect a response that night, but he replied quickly and came up with a solution to the issue. Very relaxing weekend and beautiful property to visit.
