Beautiful cabin in the woods
The hosts were great - quick response times, willing to assist with some wheelchair accessibility issues, very high standards for cleanliness and attention to details in the cabin. The cabin was incredible; in floor heat, fireplace, timber frame style inside, nice kitchen. Great location only 15 mins of new-tar road from town. Highly recommend!

A perfect retreat
This is such a unique and amazing property. Everything was very clean and in working order. The cabin was so well-aappointed that we couldn't think of anything we should have brought from home. The outdoor space was immaculate and the fire pit area was spectacular. We will definitely be back!

What makes this property unique

Our property is unique and quiet as we have 65 acres on a lake. The property came with the original 100+ year old cabin. We remodeled and lived in it for 7 months as our house was being built. Decided to take on the project of milling and building a timber frame cabin on our own. You might say we have a mini compound. With 300 plus wooded public acres surrounding the property it feels like our private oasis. The wildlife are abundant and love to live, wander and rest on the property. We love to share our slice of heaven with family and friends and decided to open up the cabins to the public to provide experiences and time away from the hustle and bustle of life.
