One of the main things we wanted from this cabin was seclusion. Unfortunately this cabin did not offer that as it advertised. The cabin while being further back into the woods is directly situated from a large house across the pond with no curtains in the main room and every other but one anytime the people came in or out we could see them and they could see us at night this was especially disturbing as the car headlights would shine directly into the house reminding us we are not secluded. While taking a nap in the cabins we heard a strange noise outside our “secluded cabin” it was a group of people in a hay rack ride about fifteen in total. Normally wouldn’t care about this but you cannot market something as private or secluded and bring all those people hooting and hollering. The staff excuse was that the son didn’t know anyone was staying at the cabin, but as he was coming down the hill our car would have been in plain view and proceeded down and pulled the hay rack passed our car to go deeper on the property. Other issues included the cleanliness of the cabin. We consistently ran into dead and live bugs in the cabin. There was hornets nests out by the pond under the umbrella and they were flying around making being on the patio uncomfortable, spider webs all across the property. The check in process wasn’t communicated properly. The bakery was closed and we had to locate someone else for the key to check in. We had to go ask for basic things like trash bags.there is more

This cabin was ideal, located in a great area and was easy to find. It was big enough for 4 people to sleep and have additional family over with plenty of room. The host was very easy to talk with and the check in and out process was simple. Our dog loved the land and had lots of room to run around. The deck is great to sit outside in the morning times. We will definitely stay here again if we are in the area visiting family.

Perfect, quiet, private, well equipped family cabin with a rural feel, but has easy access to everything in the area. Loved the pond with ducks and fish for relaxing on the deck as well as the delicious small bakery and homemade country store items just up the road!! We will definitely book this again!

My family of 5 plus our two dogs had a great stay. Although the cabin is located on a farm/orchard, it is very private. It was super clean and homey on the inside. Tom, the owner, showed us the way to the house and made sure that we could find everything that we needed in the house pointing out light switches, extra linens, and other necessary information. We made some stops at the farm store for gooey butter cake, apple cider donuts, apple butter, and fresh peaches. While the deck and pond were lovely, it was too hot during our stay to spend much time enjoying them.

Secluded Orchard Cabin
We enjoyed our stay at this little cabin with its own pond! Tom was very personable and courteous when we had to contact him. Gave us a tour of the cabin and was very open to us letting us have our own run of the place and even have a team get together (which didn’t get to happen because of our own time issues). Cabin was as advertised and we would come back again!

We stayed 3 nights, while competing at an event at the World Shooting Complex, about 35min away. The cabin was very clean, well equipped, we needed to bring nothing. Nice, quiet and secluded. I got the keys from the young lady at the farm market store, and dropped them in the mailbox, as we left in the early morning. Will definitely stay here again next time we come to the area.

Wonderful quiet get-away
What an amazing week of rest and relaxation! The setting is beautiful with a wonderful view. It is set back in the timbers with complete privacy, yet convenient and close to activities if so desired. There in an orchard store with wonderful in-season produce. The owner (and staff) are all so friendly! We are hopeful to book again and highly recommend others who are looking for a get-away vacation!

In town for a soccer tournament and had 4 kids. Perfect place for us to rest and eat between events. Hosts were so gracious with our arrival time. Wonderful conversation with the farm owner.
