What a beautiful cabin in an amazing location. Close enough to town if you forgot something while still enjoying the tranquil country setting. It was a great place for our family to meet and spend some quality time together.

We had a wonderful family weekend get away! We could not have asked for better communication and recommendations for fun activities and great food. The online manual was a super helpful tool for planning food and fun activities appealing to the whole group. The cabin was beautiful and clean. My nephews enjoyed the game room. The kitchen was stocked with everything you could think of. We were able to relax and enjoy each others company around the fire pit at night.
