This place is absolutely gorgeous! When we turned into the driveway I was blown away by the view. Owners were very responsive and helpful. It's close to several wineries and restaurants, yet secluded enough for a private getaway. The upstairs loft bedroom had a Jacuzzi tub and walk in shower that was amazing! We will definitely be back.

Amazing getaway

Beautiful property close to hiking trails. We took our two boys (4 and7) who had a great time at the cabin as well as the surrounding hiking trails. Giant city was the best along with a trip to Boo park. The cabin is very nice with everything you need to cook. We had deer come around the property every morning and evening. If you want to get away, this is a great place to relax and explore.

A perfect place to reconnect with family, friends, and nature.

Spent Memorial Day on the property with family and our friend's family. The drive up is gorgeous and the view from the living room is breathtaking. Perfect for enjoying a cup of coffee in the morning or for stargazing at night. Property was well kempt and the owner was very responsive anytime we had a question. It was an easy drive to the numerous sites in the Shawnee National Forest. We would definitely stay here again and we would recommend this property to anyone interested in spending quality time with friends or family.

Peaceful and surean

We celebrated my husbands 80th birthday with the kids and grandkids. We spent time fishing and outdoor time and games at night. Kids and grands came from Springfield, IL, Colorado and California. Our 8 year described the house as a cabin and the downstairs as a hotel.
