Love this place

Beautiful cabin in a great location. We loved the layout of the house with plenty of room for our family to spread out and have our own space as well as plenty of space to make memories. The creek bed provided hours of fun for the kids to play in and the fire pit was relaxing after a day of adventuring at nearby sites.

Family Gathering

The location is somewhat remote and consequently very quiet and private. Loved that. Cell signal was intermittent and there was no television, no DVD player which forced the family to actually spend time together playing games and talking. Glad we did it.

Family getaway

This was a wonderful place nestled perfectly in the woods. The property was well maintained and the house was absolutely beautiful!! My wife, my mom, and our two sons and their family was with us. We had our annual family reunion in Van Buren. We all had a wonderful weekend!!!

Great house for the weekend

This house worked great for two families for the weekend! It’s a short drive to town and convenient for both the lake and River. The kids brought balls and enjoyed volleyball and soccer in the large flat yard! It’s in the woods so we used a lot of big spray, but that’s expected. Owners were very responsive via text and helpful. We would love to stay again in the future.

Girls weekend for family reunion

We loved the property! 5 women met here to attend a family reunion in the area. We found the accommodations perfect for us and some family members to come hang out for additional visiting. While this is set up for hunting, it served us very well. The one disappointment was the wifi barely worked and two of us needed that for last minute deadlines. If you are able to fullydisconnect it is perfect.

The Magical Place

If I could tell everyone to just go stay here by yourself or with people you love. You actually get the connection of your soul and the good in others. The one place to awaken your real life. I love this place it's gives me perspective every time I visit. I highly recommend for anyone and everyone. Could possibly be the best kept secret!

Marine Corps Reunion

It was a great time. There was plenty of space for everyone and everyone had an amazing time. We had a power issue but the owner was out to fix it so no real problems other than waiting a few hours to take a shower. Great place!

We really enjoyed our stay in Wayne County. The house was great and we loved the remote location. Don't know if it's your "thing", but I've never seen so many hummingbirds!

Peaceful + Relaxing = Perfection

We really enjoyed our stay. The house was perfect and we enjoyed all the porches. Watching the blue birds and hummingbirds gave us hours of relaxing entertainment. We were lucky enough to see a doe and her two fawns in the back meadow. The house is well stocked, clean, and comfortable. Please Note: The location is easy to get to. However, when approaching from the south, Google maps is off by about 1 mile. We ended up reading the mailboxes to find the location.

River Float 2021

The house has a great flow. The back patio was great, we spent a whole night out there. The kitchen has plenty of plates, which is a plus as some cabins I have rented are sparse, but there was not a mixer for mashed potatoes. The dining room table sat 6 and we couldn't find the leaves. The owner said there wasn't one, but my brother said he thought he saw one under a bed, so who knows, lol. The laundry room was huge, big enough to put our dogs kennel in. The internet was almost obsolete, which was fine for us. They had 2 hummingbird feeders and I did see a couple of hummingbirds, but the feeders need cleaned. The downstairs shower was a little stopped up as the water came out in a little stream. I would definitely stay there again. Piedmont is not too far for groceries and there is a mom and pop diner that was yummy, Zephyrs. Beautiful area and very relaxing.

Beautiful place to recharge

We felt right at home the moment we stepped inside the house. Such a gorgeous, peaceful location, and the house had everything we needed. We loved our evenings by the fire pit. We would love to come back again and stay longer. If you're a Verizon customer, learn from my mistake and make a note of your check-in information before you get there rather than waiting until you arrive to it up; Verizon coverage is mostly non-existent in the area. Once we got in, though, the lack of cell service was a blessing. :) Karen was a very helpful and responsive host. We'd definitely stay here again!

This is a great house off the beaten path. Well supplied kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals. Beds were comfy. Very cozy house to relax in for a few days with family. There's lots of land to go explore as well, we had fun wandering through the woods.
