Delightful getaway!
This cabin is lovely, cozy and very well appointed. The back deck and early spring views of the Maury river were beautiful and relaxing too. Great location close to Lexington but still felt like a real escape. Our host was accessible, friendly and very accommodating. We will definitely be coming back!

Birthday weekend
We had an amazing weekend ! it was very cold outside, but the cabin worked perfectly for the weekend, reading in front of the fireplace. It was the perfect spot to relax and reconnect. The host was great too. She even left a birthday card for my husband ! So thoughtful.

Cozy, private, unique.
We loved our stay at the little cabin in the woods. There were three comfy bedrooms and everything needed for a quiet, private getaway. I highly recommend staying here. The host was responsive and helpful. I'll definitely be staying again.
