Very well equipped home with nothing missing. Nicely decorated and the setting is lovely. It was cold and snowy but eventually warmed up for taking walks. The internet never was usable…possibly weather related.

Very enjoyable stay…

The property was very complete and in a very quiet neighborhood. The county maintained roads to the property off of Highway 260 were in excellent condition. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing vacation.

Great cabin in the woods

The cabin is in a beautiful forested area! Enjoyed our morning walks and our dog loved playing with the local ranch dog that patrols the community. The Americana/Farmhouse decor is very cute and the cabin is well stocked with the essentials.

We really enjoyed the solitude. It was a little off the beaten path, but not too far. The cabin was very clean and had an adorable patriotic theme throughout. Well stocked. Janet was a very good host and gave great directions to the cabin. Loved our time there.

Didn’t need anything except food, provided more than enough items. Even had coffee, sugar creamer. Most places don’t. Cabin is in the pines, smelled so good, decorated American and country. Enjoyed cooler weather and evening showers. Host is very nice always available to communicate. Nice place to stay.
