We had such a wonderful time! It was so nice to let our dogs explore off leash. Our senior dog was in heaven, swimming, and sniffing, and relaxing on the porch. The trails are absolutely beautiful and wildlife was abundant. It was so relaxing and peaceful. We will be back!
This stay was just what we needed. We enjoyed keeping the wood burning fire place going all day long. I loved the large open living/dining area with lots of table space that had room for our family to be together doing different things at the same time. Walks around the property were beautiful and tranquil. We enjoyed taking the kayaks out on the small lake. The owners were quick to respond and helpful beyond expectation when we left an item behind. Do plan to return!
Great quiet location! Beautiful lake view! A few things need attention & repairing! Broke a fingernail trying to get the sliding door open! Almost ran out of water, (for 3 nights & days,) we had to make a run to get more drinking water! The weather was real cold, could of used a little more firewood, & there was no kindling wood!
We've been going to different places for years and now I think we found our forever place it felt like home, everything you need is there from kitchen gadgets to toiletries to fans to pots and pans all you bring is your clothes and food. I unexpectedly hiked into the owner and what a super nice guy. I'm looking at the calendar now for our next trip. Love this place.ps l wanted to keep this our little secret but it's to amazing not to share.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to visiting again in the future. The house was perfect, with everything we needed. Our 3 dogs had such a great time, exploring the trails on the property. The owners really seem to have taken every situation into consideration when stocking the home, all the way down to towels for drying off the dogs! Very impressive!
The kitchen could have used a few more little things, such as a cutting board and dishrags/dishtowels for washing dishes by hand. Outlet under the bathroom sink didn't work, so had to dry hair and try curling it in the bedroom. Otherwise it suited our purpose of a place to stay for our son's wedding in the area.
We enjoyed just relaxing by the pond and the fire- 2 days of peace and quiet
Pretty country setting - perfect for a young family. There’s plenty of room for kids to run around and the pond is setup for swimming and boating. Owners were helpful and checkin/checkout was a breeze.
This was a very nice, secluded cabin on a beautiful piece of property. The cabin was well-equipped with just about everything you will need. Fully stocked kitchen with tons of dishes and pots and pans - even some spices. The pond is beautiful and I highly recommend you take the canoe and/or kayaks out. Perfect little retreat, and we hope to return!
Lovely pond, peaceful sounds, terrific views inside and out.
We really enjoy the lake view! Peaceful! We even saw deer, geese, & ducks! Very nice when you live in town, to see wildlife there! The only thing we wished for, was firewood! Not enough to build a fire in the inside stove on a chilly evening!!
