Relaxing Getaway

Cabin and property are beautiful! The old cabin has a lot of charm and is well decorated. Porch that overlooks the pond was one of my favorite spots...spent every morning out there with a cup of coffee watching the wildlife. If you want a relaxing place to get away from it all for a bit, I would highly recommend this cabin!

If you like a different kind of rental, rather remote, picturesque, quiet and private, this may be for you. 1800's cabin atmosphere with enough modern amenities to be very comfortable. A good "get away from it all" place.
