Better Even Than the pictures!

And the pictures in the listing are pretty darn good! The view is breathtaking! We couldn’t have enjoyed ourselves more. Everything we needed to recharge our batteries. Perfect place to get away from it all. Everything was as described, only better!

About the host

Hosted by Kim Moore

My name is Kim, and I am a high school principal. I enjoy spending my free time with my family and pets. My husband Bo, is a musician, professor and radio personality. I have 2 children, Tucker and Sally. We also have 3 dogs- Rosie, Ivy and Vanna and 2 cats, Jennifer and Carlos. Vanna, our Golden Retriever is actually a Facility Service Dog. She goes to work with me every day and spends the day with our students.

I grew up spending time on my parents farm which really promoted my love of nature. My parents started the Allegheny chapter of the Audubon Society and the Allegheny Front Hawk watch, which is open to visitors and about 1/2 hour from the cabin. I consider the cabin a perfect mixture of the farm and the hawk watch, and it is a very special place.
