I cannot tell you how many times we walked around this cabin and said out loud “Oh my gosh, this is so cool and such a beautiful cabin!!”. I would definitely book this cabin again, even if only for a day but preferably for a whole week because it was such a peaceful and quiet place.

The host is responsive and kind. The property is beautiful, comfortable and has everything you need. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking meals. We enjoyed spending time on the wraparound porch watching fireflies in the evening and listening to the birds in the morning. The beds are comfortable and so is the couch. If you have time enjoy exploring the trails and go check out the lookout on the property. Also if you are hungry there is a fabulous burger spot named The Ugly Mug about 10 minutes away. We love this spot, it feels like home.

The cabin was exactly what we needed as a getaway. There is a spacious living area and open kitchen with all we needed to cook our meals. Bill replied very quickly any time I had questions. He also provided lots of information prior to the visit so we would have a good idea of the area we were visiting. The cabin was really clean and comfortable. If we decide to return to the Spencer area, we would definitely stay here again.

The cabin was absolutely perfect for our group weekend. The kitchen was stocked with supplies needed for us to cook and the living room/couch was so comfortable. The beds were very cozy and bathrooms spacious. The owner of the property is incredibly friendly, stopped over to say hi and welcome us. We felt very safe. Lots of hiking nearby. Will absolutely be planning to come back.

This was the perfect setting for my best friend’s bachelor party, it was quiet and peaceful, the property was groomed and welcoming with Bill offering us all the majesty his land had to offer. The look out is the crown jewel but it’s the perfect place to get away even if you just need a porch to sit on and birds to keep you company. I will be bringing my family to take it in as soon as possible!!
