The house was very comfortable with plenty of space for the kids to play both inside and outside. There are many nice state parks around to hike at, and a nice trail on the property.

A Great Place for Families

We loved the privacy of the dead end road, and we felt like our kids were safe to play outside while we enjoyed the beautiful view from the back porch. The cabin was perfect for our 2 families, plenty of seating in the main room, the eating area, and the outdoor area. We also loved the location, very close Ferne Cliff State Park and not too far from Giant City State Park for hiking. We hope to stay here again!

Spectacular views

Perfect location for our family trip! The pictures listed do not do the property justice. This hike is clean, spacious and has everything you need to make a wonderful meal. The covered porch kept us safe from the sun and rain. The beautiful views were breathtaking and relaxing. We wanted to take a kiddie pool with us but we weren't sure if we could or had access to a spigot. Luann not only allowed the pool but she made sure there was a hose we could use to fill it with. This was a great time and we hope to go back!!
