Lovely escape

We adored our time away at this adorable cabin! All the little details make the cabin cute and cozy. The beds were extremely comfortable, the grounds were beautiful and safe to explore, the owner was extremely kind and responsive. We found a local place that sold duck eggs and another that sold local honey. We enjoyed the firepit outside, stargazing, and sipping coffee on the front porch. We would definitely book again!

Loved the quiet

The property is a very private and quiet place to look and the stars, ride ATVs, and enjoy nature. We did all of the above and our kids were outside exploring the entire trip. Bring lots of food and bottled water if you don’t want to drive into town. You will love your stay.
