This was a wonderful find! We loved the cabin and the cool history. The caretaker Joe, stopped by to say hi and provide some great info about the area. We had lots of stuff to do and it provided a great halfway point to meet our college aged daughter. We will certainly stay here again!

Beautiful Getaway!

Great place to just get away from everything. Nice and peaceful. Lots of hiking close by if that's your thing, or just sit back and relax (which is what we did most days). 10/10

Super private adorable cabin

This cabin doesn't market their #1 attribute very well.... It is very secluded with only one or two other houses in viewing distance, and no one within 1000 yards. The cabin is old (historic - but which I greatly prefer) but completely up to date with modern standards. Several comments: No hot tub, no dishwasher, no washer/dryer (technically, there is a washer/dryer, but they have a sign on it that they clearly do not want guests using them.... they are for housekeeping only. Not kidding.) But the location and setting are million-dollar settings. The owners' dad (Joe) kept me up-to-date on the best roads to ride, and made sure I had everything I needed. I will DEFINITELY keep this cabin on my list of places to stay, and I don't say that very often. I loved it.
