Wonderful Property

This was a very relaxing place. Clean, secluded, close to the river, and multiple fishing options. It does advertise a hot tub; however, it’s a jacuzzi tub in the bathroom. We were expecting a hot tub outside. Either way, the property and host were great!

Amazing stay with warm hospitality!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful cabin and soaked up every relaxing minute wandering the amazingly beautiful and tranquil property with our son and our doodle “Waffles”. I even got a chance to pull a bass and a couple of nice crappie out of the private pond. Becky could not have been more accommodating and her delightful homemade honey bun cake was the best surprise. It made it less than one day before it was all gone. We will return!

Perfection!

I don’t feel like the pictures or the description really give you any idea of how wonderful this cabin is! I spent 4 nights here and it was heaven! I felt like I was staying at a friend’s cabin instead of a vacation rental. Everything about this place is welcoming, homey and perfect! The owners give you tons of space, but they are also around if you need anything (and they are the SWEETEST people!). I understand why people go back to this cabin year after year….

Perfect relaxation

My family came down sick right before our trip. We came ahead anyway and laid around the cabin for a week. Sitting around looking down at the river and walking the dogs along it was so relaxing. I found the isolated location beautiful and therapeutic. Becky was in touch and helpful throughout our stay. One of our best stays.

Amazing!

This was our third time here. We love our getaways to this private and serene cabin. The kitchen is fully equipped. Becky made sure to have everything that we could of wanted/needed. Our pups loved their freedom to run and the walks on the trails. We can't wait to come back again and again.

Great Cabin

We had a great time at this cabin. It was the perfect location to watch the eclipse. Becky was a great host who stayed in constant contact with us to make sure we had everything we needed.When we arrived, she had already set up the crib for our little one, as well as left us a delicious cake. It is a very peaceful place and we loved the patios and using the firepit.

A lovely clean cabin on a beautiful secluded site with creek view. Huge spa tub in bathroom and the kitchen was well equipped with pots, pans, dishes, silverware, and cooking utensils. Owner drove by to ensure that we had everything we needed and to answer any questions.

Another awesome anniversary trip

This was our second time to stay here. It was as great as it was last time. Kayaked the river, fished in the pond, rode around on the 4 wheeler. Saw some deer. They had a few new born calves as well. We will definitely be back again!!! Ms Becky and Tommy are the best.

Tranquil Serenity

Upon arrival we felt "Welcomed" - there was the pleasant surprise of a home-made cake awaiting us on the counter. We greeted the sunrise as we enjoyed coffee sitting in rockers on the front porch; we also watched the sky light up and felt cool wind as a thunderstorm approached one evening. We enjoyed the back porch immensely as we listened to the gentle sounds from the river and the views of sunset ( just wished that the view had been cleared out more). We fished some; walked along the shoreline and mowed paths. We enjoyed seeing wildlife: a doe, raccoon, numerous birds, a small bunny and mom. Both of us relaxed while reading in the rockers and parlor.

About the host

Hosted by Becky Phillips

We built the cabin in 2008, on land owned by this family for 3 generations. We enjoy our guests, but like to give them privacy to enjoy their time here.

Why they chose this property

The cabin is 1/2 mile from our home; close enough to be accessible if needed, but far enough away to be private. The pond and river offer fun water activities, and are close to the cabin.

What makes this property unique

Quiet, except for cattle lowing or children laughing.
