Wonderfully secluded

We were very happy to find this serene getaway, remote enough to feel like we were away from the busy daily life, but with dining and other options close enough to meet our needs. Our hosts were extremely welcoming and friendly, offering assistance with anything and everything we needed. Any of their three cabinns would be a great place to get away.

What a great find. Quiet, relaxing, tons of extra's, nature, wild life, an escape from the busy world. Even the extra breakfast box for 40 and cinnemon rolls were worth it. A must stay at least once in everyones life.

A Relaxing Retreat

I have stayed at many rental properties and this one stands out! It was located in such a quiet relaxing and private atmosphere, that I spent more time at the bungalow than planned. The kitchen and grill were fully equipped to make a meal, yet several good restaurants were only a 15 min drive away as well. The hosts were incredibly nice, accessible, and accommodating. I will definitely be back again.

Mother's Day weekend 2021

The location, comfort, size, layout of bungalow, ease of booking and contact with hostess was absolutely SPOT ON!!! Got exactly what we needed; which was a close, stress-free, happy get-away that wouldn't break the bank! Dawn is talented in the art of anticipatory hospitality and has a beautiful layout to share with those who are blessed enough to come across this wonderful place!!! I think it's obvious...we had a great stay! 😊

Just perfect!

The planning and work that went into the Bungalow was so incredibly evident. I don't have a bad thing to say about it. Was bright and welcoming, updated, plenty of room for me and comfy. The amenities were great too, the owners thought of everything.Fresh cinnamon rolls, snack basket, coffee, toiletries, you name it. It was like being at home.

Overnight at The Bungalow

Our (too short) overnight stay at The Bungalow was exactly what we were needing. A night away from it all. Peaceful and relaxing. Birdwatching, reading and wine make for a nice evening. The night sky was star filled. The unit was very clean and well thought out. Owners live on the property and seem to be available if you need anything.

Peaceful sanctuary!

This is the place to go when you need a peaceful retreat from life! Peaceful, clean, beautifully decorated, comfortable furniture, nicely maintained walking trails through the woods, a well stocked bird feeder…everything about this bungalow was perfect for our Mother/daughter retreat. While it is small, the interior feels quite spacious. Dawn and Virgil were warm, welcoming, and attentive. Every encounter with them was pleasant. We will definitely be back!

Getaway success!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Just secluded enough, nice trails, comfortable and beautifully decorated. We certainly appreciated our host leaving us pumpkin chocolate chip muffins with a gorgeous butter rose! The extra touches provided meant we only needed to pack clothes and food for a quick getaway. Highly recommend this sweet little place!

Restful Recharge

Our stay far exceeded our expectations. The bungalow was spotless and cozy. It's tucked amongst the trees and we often sat and looked out the many windows at the natural beauty. We noted cardinals, hummingbirds, mourning doves, goldfinches, and sparrows. The location feels very private and quiet. We loved being able to spend time cooking meals together instead of eating out, and were delighted by all the details provided in the kitchen. Dawn is a gracious and thoughtful hostess. Highly recommend!
