Located in a charming setting for a very private little getaway or busy family gathering. With plenty of overflow space, all the kids can run and play right out front on the hills of grass while the adults relax on the porches enjoying the sound of running brooks and the spring fed waterwheel.

We have found a home we all love and will definitely want to return to. Everything was great.
It was no promblem at all. It was a very much like being at home. I wasn’t worried they were going to break something I loved it I didn’t how to worrie they were going to disturb the neighbors.
Overall my family enjoyed their stay at this property. The property is located in a very nice area with mini outdoor amenities. It’s very quiet and peaceful. The interior is quaint with all you need to get through the week. The furnishings in the living room and bedrooms uncomfortable and in need of an upgrade. The three Screened porches and rocking were very nice and allowed an area for peaceful meditation. If you’re looking for a simple place to relax and enjoy some time away from life this is it. I can’t wait for my next trip up there.
Everything you need and more! This place is very interesting compared to other places I’ve stayed. Even has really cool books on the shelf which is rare these days... I highly recommend it!
Everything we needed was available and ready for us when we got there!
We had a great stay at the cabin. This is an original old log cabin nestled in the woods in a beautiful setting. The history of the cabin is very interesting. There’s lots of outdoor space with a large firepit and surrounding woods. It's not fancy but it is comfortable, peaceful and relaxing.
Very nice location. Our dogs loved exploring the property and surrounding woods. Very serene. Highly recommend it.
Our family enjoyed staying at this lovely home with sea flair. It was super hot the weekend we visited and the air was lovely & cold. It was a bonus that the air diverted also acted as a toddler corral. The kitchen was well equipped. Our children enjoyed exploring the property, jumping on the trampoline, swinging on the fire swing and playing foosball & darts. We appreciated that we could bring our dog. The internet is sufficient for texting, looking up directions etc. We would love to return again in the Fall to see the foliage.
My family and I had a wonderful time at this cabin. Great location. Beautiful scenery!
We enjoyed our stay at the cabin. Instead of IPad time, we walked in the morning to the main rd(1/2 mile each way), watched the fire flies dance in the fading light, woke to the sounds of birds call w/out the sound of traffic & started each morning w/coffee on the screened porch. Our son & his friends looked for worms & bugs under the log seats around the fire pit, played darts, zoomed down the hill on a slip N slide, explored the creek for cray fish & played lots of hide n seek on the property. We made lots of wonderful memories & recommend it to other families. If you have a bee allergy, there are two bee hives on the property. The bees were interesting to watch & did not bother us, but just a word of caution if bees are a concern.
