What a perfect spot—beautiful, comfortable, welcoming. The three-year-olds in our group were enchanted and so were the adults. Already hoping to plan a return visit next time we’re in the area!

Rustic setting, well-appointed cabin and kitchen, great communication with owner which was helpful given the 5-hour power outage upon arrival. Would have felt more secure if front and back doors locked even though it's a safe area. Overall, it was a lovely stay, and we'd be happy to return!

Wow, where to even begin? We stayed here for our wedding weekend and had the most memorable, present, beautiful stay. Margaret was the most helpful host, and the house was just what we had imagined. From the beautiful stained-glass throughout to the wood burning fireplace to the big kitchen and living room to relax and take in such a special weekend. This place will forever live in our hearts as one of the most magical places we've ever stayed. Thank you again for offering such a special home!
