Peaceful country oasis
My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the cabin. We had everything we needed! The home was very clean and comfortable and we enjoyed the beautiful view with our coffee in the morning. My family enjoyed exploring the grounds, visiting the fort and playing games outside. We would be happy to book again; it was lovely!

Serene Hideaway
This property was a great getaway out of town, but not too far. It was extremely tidy and clean and the owners added special little touches that made it seem very personal. The view was especially lovely. I would stay here again if in the area.

Beautiful and relaxing
My family and I were very pleased with our stay. The views surrounding the property were beautiful and relaxing. It almost had a colorado mountain feel. The weather was cool which made it better. We really appreciated the pumpkin roll and coffee provided.
