Perfect secluded rustic getaway
Love this place. For not having running water or Internet it was otherwise perfect. Everything was clean and well stocked. Perfect getaway for someone looking for peace and quiet. Will definitely be coming back to stay when we are in the area.

I never stayed there. I couldn’t get in touch with the host to get the address. She never responded back to me so I’d like a full refund. Thanks.

Holiday weekend
Cabin was clean. It was a nice tiny home and nice for a camping experience if you don’t want to sleep in a tent. The bathroom is a porta potty, which we figured would be the case but wasn’t super clear on the listing. The location was not the best. It’s 30 min from really any restaurants or activities. But if you’re looking for that isolation out in the woods experience then it would be perfect. Beware there appears to be lots of poison ivy on the trail walkways through the property. Overall a good camping trip though and affordable.
