I arrived at night. You can’t see the property well. The building address doesn’t align with the front entrance and the driveway isn’t there. It was very dark so you can’t see the sign. The property is on a corner so you turn down the street and it is the first driveway. The owners were great about answering their phone and giving me directions. Place was very clean!

A beautiful cabin with amazing views and all the amenities you need! It was well cared for, clean, and a wonderful place to stay for a weekend of hiking. Unfortunately, we did have an unexpected storm that knocked out power and took down some trees in the driveway. Kenneth and his family had the trees cleared in less than an hour after they fell and he was so understanding and thoughtful when we made the decision to leave early to find other accommodations when the power was not back the next morning (it was out of the his control). Such hospitality and kindness! We would love to come back down another time and stay for the whole weekend! I highly recommend this cabin and host.

Our stay at the whippoorwill nest was fantastic! We had everything we needed and then some. The view was beautiful and the home was cozy and comfortable. There were friendly animals that stopped in for visits ( 2 cats, 2 hens, 1 rooster and a turkey) none were bothersome at all and i enjoyed watching them out in the field from the window. I will definitely keep this place in mind for next time i travel to the area. Two thumbs up for sure!
