We were looking for a place not too far from our home that would really FEEL like a break. This property was absolutely perfect for that.

Great experience

If you wanna get away from everyone and enjoy the peace and quiet in a cute cabin, this is the place for you. We stayed 3 nights for our daughter’s softball tournament and it was the perfect location. Hosts were very friendly and super easy to get answers from. I wish we could’ve stayed longer. The only “problem” was the smell from the kitchen sink when you ran the water BUT that is probably from it not being used very often and wasn’t a real issue. Thank you for a great stay.
