Wonderful cabin, we could not be happier with this rental! Wayne keeps a very clean and tidy space, with thoughtful touches. We especially appreciated the bath robes and guitar for some morning comfort & evening entertainment. Having access to a washer & dryer was also a big plus during our stay. The location was perfect for us; it was wonderful to have a quiet, peaceful retreat to come home to each day. Thank you so much to Wayne & Brigitte for hosting us!

Liked: Location, listing accuracy
Great location, lovely cabin with a breathtaking view. It was very peaceful and although connected to the owner's home i didn't even know if they were there or not, that's how peaceful it was and i cannot stress enough the fact of the view. Every time I messaged the host he immediately replied and answered all questions. Also if you are into wildlife you will get friendly visitors. Saw a moose and a family of deer right outside of the window.
