The location is awesome. The cottage was clean and had everything available that we may need. I have already recommended the cottage to family members. The host was easy to work with.

We work hard to make the place comfy & clean go or our guests. Thank you for recommending it & looking forward to having you back!
We loved this cabin! Lots of rain while we were there so the car port was great! The little stream by the fire pit area is an added bonus! Super cute shower, good AC, no snakes to be seen

Thank you for the positive review! We never know how the weather will affect a vacation, so we are happy you could still enjoy your stay!
Host was very nice. We went to ride motorcycles in the national forest. The cabin was close to the trails, had covered packing for our motorcycles and a circle driveway making it easy to get in and out with our trailer.

What makes this property unique
Woodland Cottage was built in the 1950s by a colorful and somewhat eccentric lady and her husband. They had a real zest for life and were loaded with personality, laughter, warmth and practicality.... it is all reflected in the design layout and feel of this unique and quaint little cottage. We feel you will just love a relaxing get away here...so book your stay... come on down, over or up ...... we'll be glad to have ya!
