This property was very family-friendly. My family and I had a blast relaxing outside with the firepit and playset. It also provided plenty of board games and toys for the kids. It had great options for sleeping arrangments for kids as well.

We highly recommend this place and already plan to come again. The place was perfect for us. We were happy with the accommodations and set up. I really can’t say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay. It was a perfect place for us to make lasting memories. The only thing that would have helped would be a functional upstairs baby gate. It was faulty and there was a mishap (everyone is fine) as it was a false sense of security. We spent a lot of time making the upstairs secure. We found a secondary gate in the laundry room but needed the stationary/fixed gate to be functional in order to reinforce up and downstairs safety for baby.

Quiet & Relaxing

We had a nice time. Our dogs loved the creeks. We did have to drive to get to water, the creek close to the cabin had no water at all, but our dogs loved the yard and the oversized lot next to it to run. I would definitely recommend this location to families.

Great stay

We have stayed here perviously and had a great time. This time around didn’t disappoint! Plenty of space for the kids, with wildlife everywhere! The rooms were clean, the beds were comfy, and the kitchen had everything we needed! There were great hiking trails nearby with plenty of spots to fish & relax, and a trip into town was only about 20 minutes away. Can’t wait to stay here again!!
