The stay was nice, cabin and rooms were clean, and the surrounding trails are great for walking the dog. It isn't as secluded as many of the pictures make it seem, there is a large adjacent farmhouse with multiple guests. Many windows of the cabin look directly out to this adjacent property and the shared drive.

Very nice stay

It was very nice. The cabin was beautiful and even seemed larger than the pictures online. The grounds were beautifully kept and very peaceful and quiet. We loved hiking the extensive private trails. The hosts live on the property and are very nice and helpful but not overbearing. The only thing that was not expected was the cabin is close to the hosts house, which didn't bother us, but we did not expect based off of the online pictures.

Cool cabin in the woods

The cabin was clean, smelled fresh and had everything we needed. Internet was not great and there is minimal TV reception, but we did not miss it. Friendly, helpful owners and the cabin is convenient to the Thermal Belt Bike Trail and town.

Remote exceptional getaway

Had an amazing stay in this peacefully quiet Barn cabin. Great place to kick back and enjoy nice wide trails, creek, porch time or fire under the stars. Steve and Laura were great hosts. Enjoyed the personal attention and history from Steve around the campfire. We would recommend The Preserve at Maple Creek’s Barn cabin to anyone!
