We had an AMAZING time! The cottage was super cute! It is supplied with every amenity that you could need. Very peaceful, comfortable, and relaxing! Loved how close it is to Spook Cave and just minutes from dining and shopping options. We'd definitely come back and highly recommend this spot to others!

Fun little Cottage

This was a fun little cottage perfect for me and a friend to get away for a weekend. The property provided enough space to do activities outside, including a short trail they have around the property as well as enough space to watch movies and play games inside when we weren't out and about doing things in the area. Definitely plan to stay here again if I do more trips to the Mcgregor area.

I liked the quiet rural aspect of this cabin. It was very clean and organized. The cabin could use some blackout curtains for the room and loft. Also a curtain for the front door window to add a little more privacy since it is a small interior. Other than those few things it was a great place to stay. I would definitely recommend checking out the spook cave tours across the road at Spook Cave campground.
