A wonderful cozy place to stay. The nature of the fox, deer and turkey made the stay so relaxing sitting by a fire and while sitting on the back deck with a view of a peaceful water fall nearby.

We weren’t able to stay here because of the mold and mildew smell inside the house. The outside needed upkeep with a leaf blower and a hose and some muscle. We just went in quickly and went back out because of the issues with mold and smell. I have an immune disorder so could not stay there even if I wanted to. I would just suggest that host keep on top of cleanliness and HVAC systems, etc. etc. We also didn’t know for several days whether we were getting our money back or not because of lack of communication.

Nice cabin in the woods. We had a wonderful week there. The shade from the trees kept the cabin cool and the dehumidifier made the air inside very pleasant during our mid-Summer stay.
