So peaceful

Everything about "The Cabin" is peaceful. From the views of the valley to listening to the wind rustle through the trees. The town of Menlo and Summerville are excellent places to visit.

Quaint cabin

The cabin is small but comfortable for two people. The view is wonderful. We enjoyed watching the clouds and weather from the screened porch. My bird app picked up numerous birds, including a hawk. Our only negative - The road noise could be intrusive.

Return visit

We were thrilled to be able to book a return visit this year. The property was the same as the first time we visited a few years ago with a few minor improvements. When we walked in the smell of cleaning products was evident, which told us it had been recently cleaned and cleaned well. We appreciate the hospitality of our hosts and already are looking forward to our next visit.
