Cute and quirky, comfy and cozy. This little cabin was wonderful! It had everything we needed with comfortable beds and beautiful surroundings. We will definitely stay here again when in the area.

From the owner: "Thank you for your review. It always makes me happy to know that people have enjoyed their stay and appreciate the beauty of the area. Also, thank you for taking such good care of the cabin. I do hope you’ll stay with us again in the future."
Had a little trouble finding the house at night but was very impressed with the place. My wife, our dog, and I had a great experience staying here with all the amenities the house had to offer.
We enjoyed our stay. It was comfortable and stocked above and beyond what I expected. Having a washer and dryer available to use was super handy. We loved having a hot tub that was clean to relax in.
Was very nice and relaxing. Property manager was veru nice, very clean and stocked up!! Will be back

Cozy Quiet Cabin- A Perfect Getaway!
I couldn't have picked a better place to stay for a quiet getaway! The cabin was beautiful, and had everything we needed for our family to have a great time! Stepping onto the porch, hearing and seeing the birds and enjoying the views was our favorite part. This was a wonderful escape from our busy city lives. I wish I could give a bonus star for the Frieda McFadden book on the TV stand!

Thank you for your kind review, Courtney. I’m so glad you and your family enjoyed your stay at our cabin, and especially that you enjoyed watching the birds. I think the pileated woodpeckers are so amazing. It’s always good to hear that guests enjoy the peace and natural beauty of our area.
Thank you again for staying with us. I hope you’ll come back in the future. Maybe I’ll add some more Freida McFadden books to the library!

We had a fantastic stay! Everything was as expected in this well appointed cabin.
The hot tub was squeaky clean and used daily without issue.
The kitchen was well stocked with most needed items (and then some!)
We loved the porch swings, fire pit, bbq and would definitely stay here again.
PS, Miguel’s Pizza was amazing!
We loved it! Nice area to walk & explore, convenient to lakes, trails, and sports for that. Saw some historic arches & covered bridges. This was a ‘scouting’ trip for a longer one later. Will definitely come again with the ATV, and maybe get to Louisville too!
Loved the porches and hot tub. Its only about 5-10 minutes from a handful of boat ramps so it was great for our fishing trip. It was also super quiet and you could see tons of stars. Very peaceful. The only downside is the roads in the neighborhood were a bit tight for having a 28ft pontoon in tow. If you're bringing a boat, be cautious and try to arrive before dark, but it is doable. The driveway makes a loop around the house so there was no need for backing in and out of the street.
