Grafton Getaway-Cabin on 2 wooded acres just 1/2 mile from Main Street
Grafton Getaway - Cabin is a 2019 renovated home originally built in 1900. The long driveway crosses a spring-fed creek and winds up the hill to this secluded home which is surrounded by trees. Guests often hear the creek's flowing water from the front porch swing. This 1500 square foot home includes a full kitchen with complimentary coffee/tea/hot chocolate. The patio has a gas fire pit and the backyard has a Tiki smokeless fire pit with free firewood. Two hammocks and eight bicycles of all sizes are available for guest use. Watch for butterflies and hummingbirds which are drawn to the property by its many Mimosa Trees. 55 inch Smart TV and DVD player for rainy days. Make yourself at home! Or have a look at our waterfront sister property...Grafton Getaway - Riverhouse or our 23 acre Grafton Getaway - Farm with private fishing and wooded walking trail. Our newest locations are Grafton Getaway - Lodge and Grafton Getaway - Cottage. All five properties utilize staggered pricing so smaller bookings pay less than larger bookings.

Can’t say enough good things to describe how excellent our trip was. Host was very good with communication. Beautiful property and we had all we needed plus some.
We had a super quick stay and cannot wait to come back. The cabin is amazing—so much to do inside and out. It was clean and comfy, great layout. The communications for renting were super smooth. We can’t wait to come back and spend more time to fully enjoy the space—especially what the outdoor adventures hold!
My family loved staying at the cabin. Everything was clean & felt like home. Plenty of extras that made our stay special... games, record player, outdoor activites. Definitely need to stay more than one night next time!
First of all Brandon was amazing we had snow and he cleared the area so my guest didn't have any issues parking. The cabin was perfect for my ladies PJ party. His cabin had everything that you might had forgotten to bring for the overnight sleepover.
My husband and I had an amazing stay in your beautiful cabin. The cabin gave you a feeling of being right at home. We went to town to the Grafton Pub for dinner, then hit the Martini Bar. Afterwards came back and enjoyed playing Foosball and listening to the great collection of music. The bed was really comfortable and thanks for the abundance of extra blankets provided. In the morning, my husband prepared a wonderful breakfast. We then headed out for some eagle watching. Thanks for sharing your beautiful property! We would definitely recommend your cabin to friends and family.
Lovely stay! Awesome cabin in the woods with every game you can imagine, inside and out! Only wish we had been able to stay more than one night! Will book again!
I threw a surprise party here and could not have asked for a better place! The host was easy to communicate with and I will be returning! Perfect summer stay
Grafton getaway was an awesome place to stay at!! The host did a fantastic job at communicating and making sure our needs were met! Will definitely stay here in the future!
Our stay was all that we anticipated. The home was beautifully set up. We loved that everything was labeled, that was so helpful!
We also loved the seclusion and how close we were to the strip and restaurants.
Would definitely stay here again!!
My family and myself needed a quick getaway to have some bonding time and this property allowed just that. It was amazing and will definitely rent again.
We took 5 grandkids ages 4,4,7,7,10. They had so much fun. They asked me, ‘Grandma can you buy this house’

About the host
Hosted by Brandon Jeffers
I love to travel and am proud to have set foot on all seven continents. Throughout my wanderlust (27 countries and counting) I've met some wonderful people, had some memorable adventures, and I feel that hosting others in my Travel-themed guesthouse is a new and interesting way to "Ramble On".
Why they chose this property
Grafton has always been a favorite place of mine and as a General Contractor for a living when I discovered the vacant, run down property with no updates, a hole in the roof, a sinking front porch, etc. I decided to buy it and create a rustic, secluded getaway for my family, friends, and guests. I am a proud member of the Grafton Chamber of Commerce.
What makes this property unique
During my first visit to the property I heard the sound of the creek flowing from the front porch swing and it put me in a happy place, and I hope it does for you also.
