About the host
Hosted by Aaron
We're from Moravia, IA and love to spend time outdoors! We bought this cabin to get away from city life and closer to nature. Families and friends getting together around a campfire at Sweetwoods is hard to beat!
Why they chose this property
Great neighbors and access to hunting, fishing, boating, and wildlife viewing. The Honey Creek resort is minutes away where folks can rent boats and enjoy a round of golf! We're also just up the road from delicious Mexican food! Just call Mexican Affair and go pick it up (we eat there all the time 😊)! BK's Boathouse is 5 minutes away and is a great spot to hang out after a long day on the water.
