Wonderful getaway!

This was such a great stay! It was just me and my teenage daughter, who is used to busy city life. So to be basically in the middle of nowhere amd be surrounded by just nature was amazing. The house was so cozy and made us feel so welcome and inviting. Thank you Cheryl for letting us stay. I will be telling everyone about your place!!

Country Living

I was amazed by the beauty of the area and the cabin! The inside of the cabin was very clean and welcoming! The over all area is secluded enough away that you definitely need transportation to and from anywhere. Overall it was a great stay with my kids. We brought the ATVs for them to ride and they enjoyed the entire weekend without cellphones!!!

Beautiful property!

This cozy little house is in a great location - far enough away that it feels private but close enough that you can still get things you need! The property was beautiful and the sound of the river was comforting. The porches were perfect for just sitting and enjoying nature.

Cute Little Cottage

Had a great vacation visiting with old friends. The place is nice but could use a new back door. The gap at the top let in several bugs. There are other places nearby, but they’re far enough away for a degree of privacy. No reason we wouldn't return.

Get-away cabin

We really loved the cabin on the creek. It's really quiet and peaceful. And there are things to do not too far away. The water heater wasn't working well so they came out and put in a new one. Awesome owner!
