Loved being right on the water. It was a short drive to waterfalls and the highlands downtown. We loved the visiting the dry falls which was only about 10 min drive from the property. Additionally, it was nice to just hang at the house, play in the water and grill out dinner. We plan on returning soon!

Wonderful weekend stay!

This property is exactly right for a summer weekend away - the water access cannot be beat and lots of great hiking nearby. The cabin is comfortable and well equipped. It was really special to be able to bring our dog- she loved sitting on the front porch watching the fireflies (and rabbits) in the field.
