An Amazing Cabin and Property to Visit!

We stayed in the cabin for 3 days. The cabin was extremely neat and cozy. It had many helpful features: lighting under a step, very comfortable beds, and room darkening curtains. The property has a very interesting history and things to see. The host was extremely friendly and shared the property’s history with us. She invited us to a museum of artifacts in the farmhouse.

Barn Cabin Review

If you’re looking for a beautiful, relaxful, and renewing atmosphere, The Preserve at Maple Creek is the place to go. Over the past several years it has become “our home away from home”. All of the cabins, as well as the farmhouse have wonderful accommodations. Coffee on the porch with the birds chirping is delightful and starts your day off perfectly. Wine by the firepits watching the stars makes for a fabulous way to end your evening.Laura and Steve are the greatest! They make your stay with them extra special because they truly care about their guests experience.

Wow!

What a unique and enjoyable property. A quaint little town nearby with some interesting restaurants. The cabin has everything you could want. It is on a great piece of land with hiking trails and creek. Great property owners. Looks like a cool place to hold a wedding also.

Very nice stay

It was very nice. The cabin was beautiful and even seemed larger than the pictures online. The grounds were beautifully kept and very peaceful and quiet. We loved hiking the extensive private trails. The hosts live on the property and are very nice and helpful but not overbearing. The only thing that was not expected was the cabin is close to the hosts house, which didn't bother us, but we did not expect based off of the online pictures.
