Glamping at Tiny House! Perfect Romantic Cabin Getaway on Horse Farm

10/10 Excellent

"This place by far exceeded our expectations! It was so charming. Erin responded very fast to all of my messages and even allowed an early check in so we could get ready to attend a wedding. It was roughly 35 minutes to venue at The Bradford which was well worth the drive. Even though you are across from the main house, you feel so secluded. The temp dropped to the 60s and started to drizzle so we opened the windows and fell asleep to the sounds of nature. The house also is totally blacked out when you turn the lights off because there are no street lights so we slept AMAZING. When we arrived we found a small bottle of honey as a gift from their bees which was such a sweet gesture. There was even cold bottles of water in the fridge which was a LIFESAVER the next morning, and my husband really enjoyed the snacks. It was also really cool to see that they provided the starter logs for the bonfire. When we woke up we walked out on the porch to enjoy our coffee and noticed they purposefully placed 3 piles of hay close to the fence across from the cabin so that the horses would graze where we could see. It was a really sweet addition to our morning. Lastly, the trail was so nice!!! It was about 3/4 of a mile through the woods and along a stream. Take my word for it and go without a phone because you'll wanna soak it all in! We walked it twice! My husband has family here so when we come back to visit this place is first on our list!!! Thank you for the hospitality!"

"Absolutely love this area. Reminds us of home in Arizona. I'd see us moving to an area close by someday. Saw a friend while visiting here from Wisconsin (now where we live) and it was so close to him too. Close to things to do and shopping! Will definitely stay here again if we get the chance too."
