It was the perfect spot to get away by myself for a bit. Small situation on arriving, but they had someone out within 10 minutes to remedy the situation. Quiet and peaceful area. Cottage was clean and well supplied. Hot tub was amazing!! I am already recommending this spot to friends. Thank you for the amazing escape from the noise of life! It was exactly what I needed!

It was a very peaceful and quiet cottage. Probably could use a little sprucing up but all in all, I enjoyed my stay.

Good experience

Really pretty place away from everything for a coupe nights. You have to go up a couple narrow gravel roads to get to it but not that difficult to get to at all. Our only issues were that there was a small gap at the bottom of the front door (so a couple small bugs got in) and that the blinds on the back door in the bedroom were a little broken, but it wasn’t enough to ruin anything. The host was very responsive to any questions we had and ensured a good stay.

Solo Weekend Away

My original booking ended up needing to be rescheduled due to some family business popping up, but the whole process was really smooth. The property is quiet, easy to access, and really well maintained. Just the perfect space for a person to disconnect and get back with nature. 10/10 will be coming back.**Note: my sedan could make it up the driveway; just make sure to give it some giddyup as you come up on the property so as not to slide the tires.

Great time!

We had a great time. The manager was very responsive to communication. We were upgraded to a bigger cabin due to frozen pipes in our original cabin (they got hit with extreme weather). Place was very clean and the bee decorations were very cute. Hot tub was great. Location was easy to find and within 15 minutes of food/stores. Will definitely come back again.

cozy cottage

This was a nice cozy cottage perfect for two as it is quite small. It’s located pretty close to some good restaurants and grocery stores. Just know that at least in the month of October, there are bugs all around in the leaves and you might find a few spiders inside. Overall though, it was a great place to stay and enjoy the hot tub and fire pit. Most definitely worth the price!

Peaceful and serene

This little cabin is the perfect place to distress from city life, close to hiking spots, canoe rapids, and parks you always have something to do or explore, or if you want, just do what I did, sit on the front porch with a nice cup of coffee and just enjoy this gorgeous environment. Enjoy the noises coming from the birds, the cool mornings, and the beautiful rays of light beaming into the cabin windows. The property manager is extremely nice and very accommodating; he answered all my questions, and also gave suggestions on the area. All seriousness 5 stars all around, can't wait for the next vacation!!!
