This was AMAZING!! There is an adjacent cabin, practically attached, but no one rented while I was there...QUITE QUIET!! Bedroom is up 8 stairs, while the only bathroom is DOWNstairs, so I had to go up & down at night. But private wrap-around porch & lovely walking trail. I was a solo 70·yr·old woman & felt very safe. CLEAN, except for flies in windows...but that's to be expected in a cabin.Well lit & internet was speedy. Kitchen was spacious & CLEAN-CLEAN...same for bathroom. If there'd been a more convenient bathroom on 2nd (bedroom) floor, I'd've given it 100 stars, but I enjoyed my stay & Landlord was VERY GRACIOUS & easily booked another night for me!! I'LL STAY AGAIN!! GREAT VALUE for the

The house was a little small but it made for great family time since the teenager couldn't hide away in her room. The trails were adorable and our dog had the best time running through them and running in the creek. Would book again if I were in the area.

Everything was super clean, the cabin had a very strong smell of wood which was a cool experience. It was a very nice getaway for a couple. The wraparound porch with the creek was super nice.
