This place is beautiful, peaceful and super clean. A great place to get away from the rush and noise of everyday life . The porch is the best! And stars at night from Deer Haven are amazing ! A wonderful place!

We went for a family girls weekend. Loved sitting on the porch looking out over the pond and surrounding hills. Beds were comfortable, everything was beautifully done inside. Would definitely love to visit again.

Beautiful house and property. They had everything we needed. We visited the first week in November and the leaves were gorgeous. Highly recommend this peaceful, quiet property.

We stayed a week here in early November and the leaves were beautiful! The cabin was extremely clean and comfortable. It really felt like being at home. The only bummer was that our kids were excited to see the horse shown in the listing but he wasn’t there. Overall this place was a great value and we’d recommend it to anyone!
