Amazing views and privacy

Very well stocked house. The owners don't expect you to bring your own supplies which makes the stay more relaxing. The bluffs behind the house are incredible. Views out front gorgeous. Nearby hiking and wineries. Great stay:)

A perfect place to reconnect with family, friends, and nature.

Spent Memorial Day on the property with family and our friend's family. The drive up is gorgeous and the view from the living room is breathtaking. Perfect for enjoying a cup of coffee in the morning or for stargazing at night. Property was well kempt and the owner was very responsive anytime we had a question. It was an easy drive to the numerous sites in the Shawnee National Forest. We would definitely stay here again and we would recommend this property to anyone interested in spending quality time with friends or family.
