Very relaxing location

This is close to major highways to get to different fun activities but also far enough in the woods to relax for a quiet day in. While we were there we spotted a doe and at least 2 fawns on the property. We all loved this stay and would love to stay again if we head that direction.

House in the woods

Location was a great get away from the hustle. The outdoor deck was amazing. A couple things worth changing...there was no welcome note (every place that I have stayed in had one), their was only one TV and it was small (32 inch) and was not an updated smart tv (last 5 years) which means we couldnt access apps on the TV unless through our phones. Overall it was quiet, clean, and peaceful. I would recommend this for anyone who loves outdoors and reading.

Great place

The cottage was easy to find with the directions the owner sent. It literally has everything you need. All you need is your clothes and food you might want to cook if you don't want to go out to eat. I was looking for a place to relax and get away from everything and this place was perfect. I would definitely recommend it to anyone and would stay there again

Cozy Cottage in the woods is Right!

Very privately located on property. Owner gave very good info on how to find. The cottage is very nicely decorated and has pretty much anything you need! The only thing that would have been helpful would be to have “hooks” of some sort close to the shower for easy access to towels - but that’s minor! Just a suggestion 😉! Would definitely stay here again and very much appreciated the simplified cleaning instructions- thank you for sharing this property !

Girlfriends back for a college reunion

Three Dickinson college ladies back for our 40th reunion and we adored this cottage and property. The open living and kitchen was well laid out. All of the rooms were newly and warmly decorated. The porch over the woods is a highlight-bright and wonderful for our Sunday breakfast. We relaxed on the deck porch and the covered porch. The bedrooms and bathroom were set up with many available accessories, closet spaces, towels etc. The beds were super comfortable. A super clean, organized and welcoming. Thank you for a wonderful stay. We all agreed that we would stay again in the future.

This is an adorable cozy cottage in the woods. It’s was clean and nicely decorated. We came in on a cloudy night and driving back to the property did make me a little nervous the first time. However, once we were there we felt right at home. This property is well maintained and very clean. The porch area overlooks the woods and is great for viewing wildlife. The beds were comfortable and there were extra blankets for the cold nights. This truly is a well managed VRBO.

Place was great. Low branches on the way in if you have a tall vehicle, not enough to stop you but will scrape. Just as an FYI.Would stay again
