The space Relish the solitude and peace you crave, and leave behind everything you need to escape! The entire property is bordered by a privately landlocked tract of Kisatchie at the rear and our private land on all other sides. Our guests adore the coffee station with premium coffees, snacks and bento boxes of breakfast and spa teas for relaxation.

Your television is connected to 5G WiFi via hotspot. A Roku TV on swivel mount offers all of your favorite streaming apps or guest mode with live TV and plenty of free channels.

We loved everything about our stay! Adorable, secluded cabin in the woods. And as much as we loved the cabin the responses from the host about any questions were answered quickly and thoroughly. We will absolutely stay here again. Thanks for a great weekend

Rejuvenating getaway
I took a short trip with my partner as a short getaway (just 2 nights) and regretted not staying longer! We looked up several day hikes in the area and ended up sitting outside the quaint VRBO cabin most of the time! It’s such a beautiful and peaceful piece of property and Victoria has truly thought of everything from cooking utensils to mosquito control!
