Nice little cabin. Great hosts.

Pretty convenient to everything but still far enough away to feel like you’re getting away. It does sit near the road and some trucks are loud when passing, but not bad. We could have used an AC during the day, but there wasn’t one. I presume they use a window unit once it heats up more. The heater was nice at night. Overall, great price, nice cabin, and very communicative hosts.

Absolutely Amazing!

Our stay was supposed to be a couples trip but we had to take the kids due to no babysitter. The host made sure we had everything we needed. They were extremely nice to us and our children. It's greatly appreciated ❤️ I definitely recommend this place for anyone wanting to get away. It was so nice and peaceful!

Lovely little cabin! Perfect for just the two of us.

The address was incorrect but the pictures from the site were a huge help in finding it. The host did contact me and mentioned the address wasn't accurate and he sent me the correct address We had already found it by that time. I love the area and the peaceful countryside.

Hurricane Helene

Due only to problems Hurricane Helene caused we only spent one night of our 2 night stay. The electric was out when we arrived and remained out during our stay and may still be out as I write this. We did get up early the next morning and returned home.The cabin is extraordinary, decorated with the care and love that the host wants you to feel. We missed a magical part of our trip due to the weather but the host couldn't have been nicer and we look forward to staying there in the future.

Enjoyed our stay

We got this for the holiday weekend. The host responded quickly about any issues we had. The location was good. I wish we would have known it was on their property and had a church. I have a reactive dog so we were limited on outside time our last day. But other than that, it was a great stay! Very kind hosts.

Geat getaway

It was a beautiful property and home. We absolutely loved it. The amount of stars you could see from the patio was our favorite. I definitely would recommend it to anyone that would love a getaway. The property owners were communicating the entire time even when the website was down and always helpful.

All around perfect place

A quiet little den, perfect for trips away from the city. The owners are very kind and welcoming, and are right next door should you need anything. Plenty of amenities, as well as snacks, cookware, and personal hygiene products free to use. Plenty of hiking trails and fishing spots nearby as well. Overall a wonderful place for anyone looking for a quiet, peaceful place to stay!

Great Weekend!!

We had a great stay. The cabin was clean, neat, and comfortable. It was also a pleasant surprise to find how well stocked it was with little extra amenities-- bottled water, coffee pods, toiletries, etc. which were all very nice extra touches. We did not use the firepit area since we were not there long, but it was very nicely put together and well stocked as well.
