Just what we needed!
The quiet and privacy were just what were were hoping for. The hosts are friendly and helpful. We will be back!
The cabin was perfectly charming and comfortable.
The kitchen was adequately stocked, as was the bathroom, with plenty of towels and blankets and pillows for all sorts of comfort.
We would recommend this cabin to our younger friends.

It was good. Would suggest to clear out the trail back to the cabins a little wider as my truck would barely fit and I could hear limbs scrapping up against my truck driving down it. All in all, the cabin was great!

The perfect little getaway for Justin’s birthday weekend. The cabin was cozy and had everything we needed. We enjoyed it not being too far from stores but also far enough from the city. We will be back in the future!

Nice & Simple
This is a great place for two to getaway and relax. It rained for most of our stay, but we made the most of it hanging out on the front porch under the trees and watching movies late into the night. It is very quiet and has a secluded feel even though there are other cabins nearby. We'll be back.

Just wanted a quiet get away and we found the perfect place here. We had so much fun walking through the woods, fishing, sitting by the fire, and the hot tub was warm and cozy. We definitely will be going back.

Quiet secluded space to relax and rejuvenate! Lake view was nice and exterior fans were much appreciated. Nice king size bed, plenty of towels, coffee, etc. Stairs are steep but worth the trip,
