About this property

Beautiful Cabin on a Vineyard

Great views overlooking our vineyard. This is a great place for family gatherings, a honeymoon weekend, a relaxing getaway, or retreat.
The space
*2 night minimum. ** We occasionally will allow 1 night stays.

Enjoy the seclusion and privacy of country living in this remarkable country home. Plenty of space to gather as a family and enough space to get away from one another as well.

Relax in the living room area by the fire or on the large wrap around deck overlooking the vineyard. Feel the stress melt away as you enjoy all the features of this country retreat. Amazing views of the sunrise in this elevated home which is at one of the highest points in the county. Wake up in the morning and walk in the vineyard for peaceful exercise.

The home offers wifi, four Smart tv's , dish washer, air conditioning and 2 wood burning stoves. The basement is set up as a game room/ bar area with air hockey table, foosball, Marvel Arcade and full sized ping pong table. Dry bar with wine fridge.


Fully furnished with sheets, towels, dishes, cuisine food processor, coffee pot, etc. Fully stocked kitchen, please let me know if you have a specific item you need and I'm happy to let you know if you offer it!

There is also a Blackstone grill griddle and pellet smoker for your use. Bring your own type of smoking pellet just in case there aren't any available.

Ring Security cameras monitors the driveway entrance. Noise decibel monitors (Minut) are located outside near the front and back to protect our neighbor's happiness from loud parties.

Dust can accumulate every few days due to it being a country home on a gravel road with 2 wood burning fireplaces.

This is a great place for family gatherings, a honeymoon weekend, a relaxing getaway, or retreat.
Guest access
Entire home available for large groups. A code will be provided through access through the garage, where guests can park.
Other things to note
Out of respect for the neighbors, no loud music please. Our property can only handle micro weddings of 30 or less visitors. Only 23 guests are allowed to spend the night. if you plan on hosting a wedding please inform us. Events with excess guests may incur a surcharge.

If we are experiencing severe cold (such as -30 degrees), both our fireplaces will need to be used due to the largeness of our home.

Also, this is a very large house. The heating/AC do well, It takes awhile to catch up to adjustments. Please keep doors and windows closed, as this will prevent the Heat/AC from keeping up, and it could take a while for it to catch back up

We are green! Solar panels provide 90% of our electricity!

Gatherings of 50 or less people may be approved, please inquire with us about your gathering!

Wonderful Experience

This is a beautiful log home nestled in a great country setting. As stated in the online listing, there is room for everyone and space for whatever you need. There were 18 of us and no one felt cramped. The fireplace in the living room was stocked full of wood and it was relaxing to watch the fires. The home is well equipped with almost everything anyone would need. This sums up everyone's thinking....a person from L.A. mentioned "this is like being in a large ski chalet without all the snow"!

Family Holiday

The property was perfect to gather family from Minnesota, Wisconsin, Missouri and Kansas. The "cabin" allowed us to all be together and then to spread out with ample space. The property was well equipped with kitchen equipment, family room games, bedrooms, grills, and so on. Thanks to the owners for providing such a neat place.

One of the Best Places We've Ever Stayed

This property is one of the best places that we have ever rented. We had ten adults and eight children and it never seemed crowded. There were more than enough beds for everyone. The outside was a fabulous place to explore. The second refrigerator in the garage was an added bonus. We would definitely love to return here again!

The Best Intimate Wedding Location

One of the best wedding decisions we made was booking this property. The host was so responsive, accommodating, and kind which made the day so much less stressful. The property was beautiful, our wedding guests were in awe of the property every minute of the day. Plenty of rooms and space for privacy while also being great to entertain. Will definitely be booking again in the future!

Family Reunion

We had ten adults and seven toddlers and children. I was VERY impressed by the many extras provided by the hosts, a kiddie pool, an extra high chair, an extra pack and play, firewood, etc. The grounds are spectacular.
