Parking was easy, right in front. The host checked in but was not intrusive (they live right behind). The room was clean, the kitchen was complete including food you might forget (plus what was left by the last folks). Note that there are no grocery or drug stores nearby, so come prepared

Lovely Stay

I stayed overnight for some peaceful alone time at this property. House was clean, nicely decorated and spacious. The little stream and forest outside added to the cozy cabin feel. Despite a local power outage, the owners provided generator power and were very accommodating. I will definitely stay again!

We loved this cottage! It was super clean, spacious, comfortable and had everything we needed for a perfect stay. The highlight was the very private deck overlooking the burbling creek and gorgeous trees. We’re already figuring out when we can come back.
