An absolute gem surrounded by all nature has to offer! Extremely clean! Hot tub was AWESOME after a long day of hiking. Tom was an excellent host and has thought of everything you need for your stay. The upper deck was perfect for morning coffee while listening to the birds and watching the deer move through the property. Great location to get to all areas of Shawnee National Forest.

The hot tub was great. The cabin is near several state parks to go hiking in. The bed was super comfortable! The deck was very nice but unfortunately we only saw one deer. The owner was very quick to message back to us and was easy to communicate with.
