About this property

Why book a room when you can have the whole house!?

Please read thoroughly: We are happy to share our family get-away with you! We acquired this property to use personally and offer it to guests when not in-use by our own family and friends.

As a family, we all chip in to do our own cleaning and maintenance. We are not master landscapers or green-thumbs but we try our best. You will be in a rural setting and all that goes with it such as gravel road dust & mosquitoes to name a few. You will not find hotel corners on the beds and perfect creases in the towels, but you will find a tidy place where we like to spend family time.

This home has made great memories for a lot of guests! No frills!! This is an older constructed home. We cannot offer glitter, sparkle, shine or the latest and greatest technology. We do offer you a spot to lay your head, relax and bond with family and friends. Which is exactly how we use it. We provide basic amenities (bedding , towels & kitchen items) that we don't want to travel with so we share with our guests. We hope you can make memories of your own.

Unit features full kitchen & laundry, living room with gas fireplace and a full bath. This cabin has A/C unit and sleeps 5-6 adults.
