Great spot for a short stay

Was able to rest our head for the night after 15 hours on the road during our move. The animals loved it as did we. Great for an overnight getaway for peace and quiet! We really enjoyed it.

We love the laid back surroundings and the historic cabin. Our host had good communication and was very helpful when we had a problem using the Wi-Fi. We would recommend replacing the card table and chairs. They were getting shaky.

Weekend Getaway

It was a quick weekend get away and the property was secluded and quiet. It had everything we needed, properly stocked, and a great location for a fall getaway. The property was clean and the check in and check out process was very simple. We would go back if we are in the area again. Thank You Kaleob !!!

Like a hobbit oasis!

The pictures do not do this place justice! The fireplace is just gorgeous. The location is just beautiful. You can hear the waterfall from the deck. There are three cabins that would be perfect for an extended family get together with plenty for all ages to do. Thank you to the owner, who was very understanding and helpful to our family.
