Everything was amazing! We loved the space, the thoughtful decor, and the quietness of the property. It was such a restful spot for our family, and just a mile down the road from hiking and horseback riding at Turkey Run. We especially loved the front porch! Hope to be back again sometime!

We loved our stay! The outside was so relaxing and fun. It was a wonderful location and the cabin had everything we needed. I really appreciated so many of the little things- the standing portable fan, the state park pass, the quality plates/cups, comfy blankets and the big tv and electrical fireplace. We plan to return! My one recommendation is to put a pillow top on one of the beds since they’re both SO firm.

This was an incredible place. The house was so well stocked and every last detail considered. The hostess was very easy to reach with our small questions. Quiet property, but still close to towns to explore. We will be back!

Communication with Nicole was great. The cabin was perfectly located near the Turkey Run main entrance, if needed a state park pass was available. Cabin was clean, appliances worked well and was an overall cozy experience. Would return and recommend.

We really enjoyed our stay at the rustic retreat! It is clean and appears to be newly renovated. Very inviting, relaxing, and fun. Lots of blankets to cozy up inside and peaceful scenery to enjoy outside. Assuming you plan to explore at Turkey Run State Park, the free admission pass is a great perk offered by the hosts! We also enjoyed a couple campfires (wood included), grilling on the Blackstone, and playing games (including the customized outdoor bowling set). Very impressed with the smart washer/dryer combo as well. This place definitely has a personal touch, lots of attention to detail, with a home away from home feeling.
