Short Get Away

We spent just two nights to have a quiet get away. It was perfect - very remote, lots of space for walking around and we were able to take our old dog. The cabin is just perfect. Perfect size, perfect ammenities, perfectly comfortable. We hope to return next winter.

Beautiful cozy Stay

This cozy cabin was just perfect to relax and enjoy our winter weekend. It is in woods and we so enjoyed starting a fire and watching the deer come in to feed and wander about. This cabin is so warm and inviting. Thank you so much for your hospitality. Dave and Paula

Fantastic Cabin in a Beautiful Setting

Leon and Kip were amazing hosts! We were visiting for a weekend while we checked on the build of our own cabin in the area and couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. The first thing I said upon walking into the cabin was, "Wow it's really clean!" and it smelled clean and felt so comfortable. That's so important to me when renting VRBO's. The bed was comfy and we enjoyed using the wood burning stove. The floors have in-floor heat which helped keep the entire place cozy! We highly recommend this place to stay if you're looking for a comfy spot in the area!

Beautiful cabin in the woods

The hosts were great - quick response times, willing to assist with some wheelchair accessibility issues, very high standards for cleanliness and attention to details in the cabin. The cabin was incredible; in floor heat, fireplace, timber frame style inside, nice kitchen. Great location only 15 mins of new-tar road from town. Highly recommend!

A perfect retreat

This is such a unique and amazing property. Everything was very clean and in working order. The cabin was so well-aappointed that we couldn't think of anything we should have brought from home. The outdoor space was immaculate and the fire pit area was spectacular. We will definitely be back!

Best Cabin Ever!!

This stay was great from beginning to end. The cabin is everything you would expect and then some. It was seriously the neatest place! The timber framing, wood stove and the way it’s decorated make this place a one of a kind. The cabin is relatively new, so everything was in perfect working order! The cabin was well stocked and there were even some extras put out by the owners! The owners were the best! Honestly two of the most hospitable hosts we have had at a rental property. We can’t say enough about the cabin, location and owners… we will be back!

What makes this property unique

Our property is unique and quiet as we have 65 acres on a lake. The property came with the original 100+ year old cabin. We remodeled and lived in it for 7 months as our house was being built. Decided to take on the project of milling and building a timber frame cabin on our own. You might say we have a mini compound. With 300 plus wooded public acres surrounding the property it feels like our private oasis. The wildlife are abundant and love to live, wander and rest on the property. We love to share our slice of heaven with family and friends and decided to open up the cabins to the public to provide experiences and time away from the hustle and bustle of life.
