Wonderful home away from home!

The cabin was clean and cozy. Check in was super easy. We did not experience any problems during our stay. Location is convenient to commercialized areas, but secluded enough to feel like you are really in the woods. We loved our stay!

We had a wonderful stay. The home was very clean. Our host was very responsive with any questions or concerns we had. Check in was very easy. The area in which the cabin sat wasn't as secluded as we originally thought but were extremely suprised at how quiet it still was. The teenager in our group loved the basement area and our children loved the treehouse. It was a great weekend.
