This cabin was so adorable! We only stayed for a night as a pit stop to our next destination but it was pet friendly and super comfortable. I loved the cute lighting all over it made it like a childhood dream fort. Playing cards in the screened in porch was a blast too! The hosts and the place was just great would go back again!

Tiny, Rustic, & Enjoyable

My husband and I were there for a quick stay, quicker than we had planned on because my husband came down with a bad cold. We had a tiny bit of trouble finding the place - mostly because we could not see any street signs or the road as it was covered with falling leaves!! Beautiful area and we had detailed directions from the host. Because my husband was ill I opted to sleep on the futon/couch. I'm sad to say it just was not comfortable. The bed must have been as my husband slept well. We did not cook in the cabin and the freezer needed a good defrost. If we had stayed longer we would have enjoyed a meal or two outside in the screened in patio, it was very inviting! We also did not take advantage of the areas the host had suggested. We stumbled onto one bakery on our way into the cabin, it was very good!! We had just come from a wedding in Chicago and had spent three nights in a luxury hotel - we were a bit spoiled!

Goodfor the price

Wasn't the cleanest- toaster oven was so dirty it was unusable, trash can outside was overflowing and had mold in it. There was very little light as it was and the bedroom light was burned out. The pics made it look like the screened in area was in a secluded area where you could enjoy nature. It’s not. This is a very residential area. Houses on all side. But for the price it's not bad. expecteexpect.

A little Gem

Very happy with our stay.. place was clean and had everything we needed including a coffee pot.. tyvm. Bed was comfortable and the shower was hot with good pressure. Nice quiet neighborhood and tho the cabin was in a residential area it was very wooded and secluded. Cabin can be a little tricky to get to.. make sure you follow her instructions and not the gps. The real Gem of this place was the outdoor screen room.. good size.. has a small hibachi propane grill and a picnic table. (also a bigger grill outside) Spent some time each night out there enjoying the night sounds bug free.. Our stay was very nice and peaceful.. would def recommend and will be coming back. Also.. saw indigo buntings, eagles, a barred owl and many other birds. We saw a bear on one of the fire roads and many deer.. love this area.

Cozy Cabin!

This cabin is a great destination for a relaxing and rustic weekend away! It was very cozy and we were pleased to find out that there was not only a wood burning stove but also a heater in the cabin. We had everything we needed for a weekend stay, however I would advise bringing your own water.

Not secluded

It worked for what I needed at the time but it’s not secluded, it’s in the middle of what looks like a residential area. The cabin was nice for just myself and quiet.
