Great property! We stayed with a 2 year old and a 10 month old and had a great time. The highlight of the trip for our toddler was getting to see deer each time we left or arrived. Beautiful quiet area with lots of wildlife.

We could not help the heat that had come through for a couple of weeks and since you stayed, we added another air-conditioning unit to try and make it more comfortable for everyone. Sorry if it was any inconvenience.

This place was a perfect quick stay for our visit. Was very clean, cleaner than most cabins (which is ok) but this exceeded expectations. Had a couple portable and window AC units which I worried may not be up to the task on a summer day but they far exceeded expectations keeping the whole cabin comfortable. Everything we needed extra toilet paper, paper towels, etc seemed to be in the first place we looked which seemed well thought out and user friendly. We will definitely be looking at booking in the future again here. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

This cabin was so incredibly clean and well maintained. Literally has everything you need for a stay. So much to do around the area and the deer that come through the yard randomly are so beautiful to watch. It will definitely be a place we come back to.

About the host

Hosted by Marian Farris, Our Time Properties

Host profile image
I’m originally from FL. I’ve been bringing my children up here for 35 years. I got custody of my granddaughter and decided to permanently relocate. I like being a host so that other people can see what I fell in love with up here that made me move. We recently had a hurricane come through here so things aren’t quite back to normal but enough so that we could get back up and running.. (or should I say strolling. )

Why they chose this property

I think when you see where I live, you’ll understand why I stayed. The peace and tranquility will make you forget all the things you left behind.

What makes this property unique

The house that you’re renting is from a different era when things were simpler, more laid back. You’ll see what I mean. I think it speaks for itself.
