Peaceful
My wife and I loved the small cottage and property. We spent hours on the deck playing cards and watching fireflies. The property seems so secluded, but is only minutes from town.

Perfect setting and relaxing stay
We loved this stay! Property and surrounding area was beautiful, private and quiet. We spent the 4th and didn’t hear a sound all holiday weekend. Not only is the stay fabulous so is the acres and cut trails. We opted for staying on site and spending all of our time on those trails ! We enjoyed this stay so much we are coming back in the fall !

Quaint Cabin With Lots of Sleeping Spaces
This is a good spot for the area. Very quiet and private. Kids felt like they were in a true cabin with a lofted space overhead. Plenty of sleeping space with three beds. The only reason it’s not a perfect score is that the central AC wasn’t working and only a window unit was cooking the space. It would have also been nice if the AC was already running since the inside of the place was in the mid 80s when we arrived. Otherwise, there were a lot of nice touches which showed a lot of thought went into the place.
