The cabin was super cozy! The gas heater was such a great added touch! It stayed warm and toasty inside while it snowed outside! The bed was super comfortable & I really loved the spacious shower! Very secluded! Perfect for a low key getaway from the hustle and bustle of every day life!

I loved this place I needed to get away and have some time alone. This place was just what I needed. The fire pit outside was perfect and the stove inside was perfect on a cool fall evening.

I agree with the other reviewers- this place is outstanding. I would love to return to see it in all four seasons! We loved sitting on the porch and watching the creek roll by during a thunderstorm. The two bedrooms downstairs are lovely, and I also found the futon very comfortable to sleep on.

Magical Holiday

The most magical holiday. It was like something out of a Hallmark movie. The cabin was perfect, very rustic but with all the modern necessities. It snowed almost everyday, but not enough to make it impossible to explore the beautiful area. It has inspired us to look for the exact same setting to call our very own. Can never thank Lori enough for sharing their wonderful cabin and giving us the opportunity slow down and enjoy my family.

The cabin was RUSTIC but very good.. The only disappointment we had was the BBQ- it was not usable and in bad shape. Besides that, the fire pit was fun, the beds comfortable, the cabin was well stocked and the stream next to the cabin was just beautiful…

The property was even more beautiful than the pictures show and the creek out back was beyond soothing. You can sit on the porch in very comfortable seating and hear the rushing water. This cabin had anything you needed right there at your fingertips. The king size bed was extremely comfortable and the double shower was great. Communication with host was great and we look forward to staying there again as well as recommend it to our friends who just need a getaway. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay and the weather was beautiful the entire time which added to us being able to enjoy the outdoors.
The sun looked so beautiful coming thru the trees
Beautiful entrance to the cabin in the woods
Running creek just feet from the cabin
Sitting on the porch you can see and hear the creek.
