We really enjoyed our stay. The house was conveniently located to Sparta and Spencer for hiking and dining out. A very peaceful location and beautiful setting in the woods. Highlights were Scott’s Gulf for hiking, Farmers Co-op for Pizza and Ugly Mug for burgers!

The cabin was beautiful and it had all the amenities that it listed on the page. However there was no propane so we couldn't use the amenities that were listed we couldn't use the gas grill we couldn't use the gas fire pit . I asked the host on two separate occasions to please replace the propane tanks and was told that they would do that as soon as possible and it never got done at all during our stay so we were disappointed. The inside was exceptionally clean but the outside grounds were littered and the furniture was dirty. The toilet flushed okay but it had the dual flush buttons and one of them was broke.

The cabin was warm, welcoming and felt like home. Very clean and well organized. The rental process from start to finish was very professional & responsive. I highly recommend this rental.

Great place to stay to enjoy the state park.

The cabin was in a very quiet setting. We could see only one other cabin. Very private with outdoor eating areas. Not far from all the park trails.
