Log cabin in the country

The log cabin was comfortable but it needed a thorough cleaning and didn’t have any TVs. The property was beautiful and peaceful and flowers were blooming everywhere. We had a good stay and plenty of room, just wish it was cleaned better before we arrived. We found the BEST little diner a few miles away and ate there several times.

Nice getaway halfway between where my son and I live

Enjoyed a nice weekend with my adult son and my dog Lily at this log cabin that was located halfway between where both of us live. It was a bit rainy, but we were able to enjoy some nice walks outside. We enjoyed cooking together, playing games, and watching movies. We especially enjoyed being able to hang out on the porch, where there was a nice breeze.

It was so peaceful . In the morning all you hear are birds chirping and at night all you hear are the crickets. I love this place. I’ve been there 2 times now and would highly recommend it. Very clean and Ellen the host is amazing. Great getaway if you need a quiet place to go. Jatana Hendrick

Perfect place to stay with multiple generations

We had a restful stay. Our grandsons thought it was interesting to stay in a log cabin for the 1st time. It was just right for short trail walks. Children were 6,4 and 2 years old. They were excited to see crawfish when they walked along the creek.Beautiful flowers were in bloom. It was a delight to see them. Their Papa enjoyed his morning visits from Murphy the owner's dog. This was so much better than staying at a hotel/motel. Would absolutely stay here again.

Conveniently located quiet rustic stay

Perfectly located property. We attended a wedding at Carolina Country Weddings which was a 15 minute drive away. The cabin had everything we needed. Beautiful setting and wish we had more time to explore. Love that it accommodates dogs. Ellen was very responsive and friendly. Loved spending time with her dog, Murphy, on the porch as well. Would absolutely stay again.

Counting on Mercy Book Club Retreat

What a perfect location to slow down and find peace. We spent hours on the porch watching the hummingbirds, hawk and spectacular rain storm. The host was so responsive and helpful. She graciously shared her blueberry bushes and adorable dog. Albemarle was a quick drive for Mass and dinner. We will be back next year to retreat,, explore the trails and fill our cups! We are grateful!! Pax et Bonum

Perfectly quiet snd serene

Ellen was the perfect hostess as was Stanley the little terrier who greeted us each morning. We absolutely loved the quietness of the property and all the lovely hummingbirds frequently the feeder on the porch. The property had everything we needed and we wouldn’t hesitate to book the property again. Thank you Ellen for making us feel so welcome!

Thanksgiving 2020

Overall the cabin was a nice getaway, not fancy but met our needs. Plenty of space both within the house and outside to spread out, having a fire pit nearby was nice. Lack of wifi was a bit of a shock to the younger generation but they could still access their devices so they didn't have to go through total withdrawal. The beds a bit firmer than we're used to but that's just our preference.

Weekend getaway

Host was great. Didn’t notice when booking that there was NO TV or WIFI, but the listing was not incorrect. I just assumed it would be included everywhere. There was no lock on the door of the house so my girlfriend didn’t feel secure at night. But the property manager was on site next door and assured us it was safe.
