An absolute gem surrounded by all nature has to offer! Extremely clean! Hot tub was AWESOME after a long day of hiking. Tom was an excellent host and has thought of everything you need for your stay. The upper deck was perfect for morning coffee while listening to the birds and watching the deer move through the property. Great location to get to all areas of Shawnee National Forest.

The hot tub was great. The cabin is near several state parks to go hiking in. The bed was super comfortable! The deck was very nice but unfortunately we only saw one deer. The owner was very quick to message back to us and was easy to communicate with.

Check in was so easy, and was appreciated after a long day driving. We felt nice and secluded on the back deck with views of the woods, birds, and deer! The kitchen had everything we needed, the bedroom was very comfortable, and the shower is a real highlight! We will be back!

So great!!

The property is beautiful, we spent most of our week on the back deck watching the deer. Bed is SOOO comfortable, everything put together with thought and intention. Hosts Tom and Amy were on top of everything, communication response, less than 30 min. We can’t wait to come back in the fall to see the foliage. Thanks so much!
