Very nice stay, lovely owner was so helpful...but I do want to mention....as a senior, only 5' tall...some cabinets were to high to reach, but luckily I did not need them. Also there are a few step ups to a couple rooms...but again...they did not bother me...My stay was nice & enjoyable, and I was able to accomplish my itinerary in those few days.

Cozy Cabin

Everything was as advertised. Barbara met us at the property to check in. She also checked in with us via text during our stay to make sure we had everything we needed. It was nice to find a place you can bring your dog with while we were visiting.

Excellent! Will be back!

Barbara was extremely pleasant to work with, and her home even has a little history behind it. (Not about the ruin the surprise.) Give this quaint little home a shot, you wont be disappointed.
