Oh my goodness! This quaint little cabin was just perfect! Location for us was perfect & so very quiet. A big plus after spending the previous night in a noisy hotel! We so enjoyed our stay! Was very pleasantly surprised to see stuff like extra water bottles, tin foil, etc! Don’t find that much at most vacation rentals. Listing was exactly as said! Saw about 6 deer in the field across from the cabin & a couple of bunnies in the yard! Cabin was extremely clean & comfy. Would highly recommend if you’re in the area. Thanks so much for the welcome card & the delicious cookies!

We had a wonderful experience staying at Sweeten Creek Cabin. Alice was a very good communicator and gave us helpful directions, providing additional information to help us find the cottage, which is located in a more rural area. In addition, Alice provided some special and thoughtful surprises to welcome us, specific to the occasion which brought us to the area.

It was cozy and perfect! The hostess was fantastic with communication and she had thought of literally everything! The house was warm and cozy upon our rainy arrival with homemade cookies awaiting us. There were extra toiletries in case we had forgotten anything and a lovely coffee/tea bar set up. We will definitely stay here again!

Outstanding hospitality!

This property was absolutely beautiful! The owner has it stocked with all the essentials. She was very helpful throughout our stay with any questions we had. Had a binder of info on hubting/fishing, food, and property info. She checked in daily on us and we had the most delicious cinnamon rolls as a welcome treat! EAT BREAKFAST OUTSIDE at least once! It is quiet and peaceful! I HIGHLY recommend this property and will for sure be back!!
