4th of July stay

We were absolutely blown away on how clean this cabin was. It was such a beautiful place and very well taken care of. Talking to Katie (the owner) she was such a kind and nice person we loved booking with her! We will definitely 100% be back!

Great peaceful getaway

We absolutely loved our stay. Katie was a great host! The house was very clean and comfortable. The property and view are amazing. We were hesitant about the loft beds and one bathroom with 12 people but it all worked out great! The bathroom and especially the shower are huge. Hope to be back again!

Cabin in the woods

Very nice cabin, A good ways into the woods, no neighbors. Beautiful inside, well kept. Wish it had some outdoor space with a roof, near the cabin, as it rained, but that’s a luxury. Recommend highly.

Family summer trip

This home is beautiful, wood interior and outdoors theme! It is tucked away in the woods on a private setting. It was clean, comfortable and very well stocked for cooking. The owner was terrific with communication! My family had the best time here! It is close to many lakes and the state park for water sports and swimming! Truly well thought out and prepared for guests!

Beautiful Property

The views from the back of the property were spectacular! Very unexpected. The cabin had plenty of room for 4 adults, 2 kiddos and a dog. The beds were comfortable and we enjoyed the outside every morning and every evening. The shower was also pretty amazing, many jets and huge! The bugs were a pretty big problem when the windows (with screens on) were open after dark. It would have been nice to leave the windows open as there is only one ceiling fan and no AC, but we also understand its hard to prevent the small bugs from getting in when located in the woods as the cabin is. Overall, it was a great experience and we'd stay again, possibly bringing along some fans if staying in the summer months.

Thank you, Jeri! We are so happy you enjoyed your stay (minus the bugs)! Until we can install a permanent A/C system, we have made portable fans available to future guests. We look forward to hosting you and your family again soon!
