A bit of heaven.

It's an amazing little rustic yet modern cabin with everything you need for a stay. It sits on a hill and is very quaint and private. Perfect rental for a getaway with woodsy views all around you. We absolutely loved it and it's location and didn't want to leave. Had a wonderful stay.

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
We built the cabin with our own two hands and the hands of our dear family members and a few friends. It was a labor of love. My husband dug every footer by hand and sanded every log. Our children and grandchildren helped with the chinking and my sister hand-made the stained glass in for the gable end windows.
