This cabin was the perfect combination of rustic and modern, remote but close to everything you need. Check-in/out was a breeze. The rooms were all comfortable and very quiet - I slept well here. The host thought of just about everything - movies, board games, books, spices, cookware... you name it. Our favorite time was sitting on the porch in the evening listening to the birds - we didn't see any deer in the yard during our short stay, but we say plenty just up the road on our way in, along with a pair of bald eagles that flew right in front of our car and landed in a tree next to the road. Next time we're up this way, we'll definitely be up for booking again.

Great hideaway!

Thoroughly enjoyed being tucked away in the woods! I had hoped to cross country ski on nearby trails while my teenagers slept, but the weather didn’t cooperate. We still all enjoyed our stay!

This was my second time staying here. Love this cabin! Lots of amenities to use and the host is very responsive and accommodating. I have brought my cats both times. The AC works great, we use the grill on site. And there’s lots dishes and things to use in the kitchen. Thanks for a great stay!
