We had a great stay at this home. We traveled with three very young children including one baby and it was so perfect. Easy to get to great hiking spots and so nice to come home to and relax. We loved that our only neighbors were the horses.

Perfect stay!

This is a beautiful cottage that had everything we needed for a comfortable, relaxing weekend. From chairs at the fire pit to more than enough towels for showering and swimming, we couldnt ask for more. Drinking coffee on the deck or by the pond was so relaxing. Close to the Shawnee wine trail and other attractions.
