About this property

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.

As a hotel guest you would call the front desk when you need something, so if during your stay with us you ever feel your satisfaction is not at a 5-star level please let us know right away, while you are still with us, so we can remedy the situation and make your stay all you hoped it would be.

Great Family Getaway
This cabin was perfect for our family. There was so much to do to keep the kids entertained both inside and outside. The location was great, secluded and private, yet close to town. It’s a perfect property for disconnecting and enjoying some family time! Brandon was super responsive and helpful.

Awesome Grafton Getaway Bachelorette Party
We had an awesome time at the Grafton Getaway. Starting with the owner Brandon, who was very easy to communicate with & get ahold of. Check-in was a breeze. Tons of beds & room for our party of 8 girls. There were tons of things to do inside the house & outside of the house! Provided plenty of amenities & then some. The location of the property is perfect, right down the road from the river road. We had a wonderful time. The only downfall I would say is with 8 people in your party one bathroom is kinda rough, but we managed! Other than that we had a blast & definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a fun getaway spot. Looking forward to renting again in the future when we can do more outside!

We had a great time. Christmas at the cabin in the woods was very enjoyable. There was snow on the ground which made it even more picturesque. We saw eagles. Overall this was a great experience. The host was wonderful. The property was perfect. Absolutely will recommend to friends and family.

About the host

Hosted by Brandon Jeffers

Host profile image
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.
