We were looking for a place not too far from our home that would really FEEL like a break. This property was absolutely perfect for that.

Finally, a place listed as a secluded cabin that ACTUALLY IS a secluded cabin! It was everything we hoped for. Modern, comfortable, and relaxing. Sitting on the screened in porch, drinking coffee, and listening to the early morning rain was amazing. The main bathroom has a separate makeup mirror and great lighting. There's a county park nearby with hiking trails. And an old trestle bridge down the road; when the cars roll over the boards, it's like distant thunder. The host was easy to reach, and responded quickly to my questions. The kitchen is well stocked with everything we needed. The real wood-burning fireplace was a perfect cap to our last night. I can't say enough good things about this place; it absolutely exceeded our expectations. We will definitely be coming back again.

Great experience

If you wanna get away from everyone and enjoy the peace and quiet in a cute cabin, this is the place for you. We stayed 3 nights for our daughter’s softball tournament and it was the perfect location. Hosts were very friendly and super easy to get answers from. I wish we could’ve stayed longer. The only “problem” was the smell from the kitchen sink when you ran the water BUT that is probably from it not being used very often and wasn’t a real issue. Thank you for a great stay.
