Peace and quiet
Exactly what we were looking for a week long visit. The cabin is snug and spacious. 2 bedrooms with a loft area outside the 2nd bedroom. It was clean on check in and nicely decorated. The kitchen has everything needed to cook meals and a few extras. Plenty of dishes. The hosts went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed and answered all questions in a timely manner. The location is beautiful and, despite the heat, we spent most of our time on the beautiful deck enjoying the creek, view, and wildlife. The cabin itself has both a swamp cooler and air conditioner so it stayed comfortable. It was too hot to use the lovely fire pit area but I hope to return some time when the weather is a little cooler. I highly recommend this property and want to thank the hosts for a lovely visit.
