We enjoyed our stay! The hosts were wonderful and did so many little things to make the cabin welcoming! This trip was a much needed retreat for 2 very overstressed parents. Plus our dogs enjoyed the wide open space to run. We are so glad we chose this cabin!

My wife and I were so glad we found this super cool cabin. It’s great that it’s being maintained and available! The back screened-in porch is wonderful. On our second night, the forest was alive with lots of sounds. The kitchen was very well stock, the cabin was cozy, the bed was super comfortable, and it was nice having the full bath in the loft. Owners are great, and I’d stay here again.

So well done. Visually, so many lovely things to see, the house inside and out is so very historic and beautiful. The hosts have everything organized, neat, clean, and fixed so that you can have a relaxing time. It was so quiet, we relaxed right away, listening to the walnuts drop off the trees in the back. That back porch is perfect. Hosts helped a lot with our questions, and it was very memorable and maybe my favorite of any rentals we've had.

This is a wonderful property! Good location and great hosts! Secluded, but not too far from many beautiful parks and waterfalls. Most within about a 60 minute drive. We really enjoyed the large yard with fire pit …perfect for the cool Fall evenings! Our Dalmatian Winston loved being able to run and play with his ball and frisbee. Cabin is small, but offers great spaces in both the main and upper levels. Loved having 2 bathrooms! Thank you Jennifer and Mark for taking such good care of us during our visit!

We were looking for an experience type stay and this home and property far exceeded our expectations. The first 15 minutes we took turns oohing and awing over the meticulously manicured lawn, the cabin - both inside and out, the furnishings, and the thoughtfulness of the host to even include delicious local baked goods.
We wanted for absolutely nothing. When I say the host truly thought of everything, I mean it. There were even mason jars for kids to catch lightning bugs, aka, fireflies. That’s next level attention to detail.
We are in our 50’s and 60’s and had no trouble navigating the steep staircase to the bedroom, but if you experience knee or hip ailments, you may want to use the sofa bed on the first level. Our adult son used and slept well both nights.
If you have the opportunity to stay at this cabin you will not regret it! I mean, where else can you stay in a 5-star 1800’s log cabin?

While the cabin is old, the inside is very modern. In fact, this is one of the most up-to-date cabins I have rented. I was very impressed with how clean it was. Outdoor space is great and the lake access is easy (best for kayaks). Top of my list! P.S. Check for ticks in season.

What a lovely little cabin. Looks exactly as pictured. Very well stocked with everything you need. Bed was comfortable. Cabin was sparkling clean. There is a fire pit in back with plenty of wood. Wonderful screened in porch was perfect for sitting, especially in the morning while drinking coffee and watching deer.

Unique and very private cabin. Very clean with eith everything furnished for a nice stay. We never got the wifi to work. Stairs to bedroom are very narrow and steep, not for seniors. Low toilets not for seniors. We happened to have unexpected cold weather when we stayed here; when the lower level is comfortably warm the upper level main bedroom is very hot...we will not return. Younger folks will probably really enjoy it.

Located in a rural beautiful area deep in the woods. The cabin was very clean with so many extras that others don’t offer to you when you stay at a rental. Would love to go there again

Historic charm in a remote location
I was drawn to this property for the opportunity to stay in an 1800's log cabin. I admired the historic craftsmanship but also appreciated the modern amenities. This quaint cabin is perfectly located on a large, private lot with a huge back yard, complete with firepit. I especially enjoyed relaxing in the rocking chairs on the screened back porch. Be cautious on the steep stairway to the second floor, and be mindful of the pitched roof. Overall, a very comfortable, charming property worth recommending.

Disconnect to Reconnect
I needed a place to reconnect with my two youngest after a tough year. This was perfect. Lake close by. Friendly folks. Fire pit. Not a lot of internet access. We watched the stars, had fires in the fire pit. Talked and laughed and had a great time. It was exactly what I hoped for.
