10 / 10Outstanding·Feb 2026
We enjoyed our stay. It was very relaxing. We felt like we really did get away, but we were still close to town if we needed anything. I think this was the most comfortable bed I've ever slept on at a VRBO rental. My only complaint would be the couch--I think it's time to replace it because it was not the most comfortable to sit on. Even with that, I'm still giving this 5 stars. We are already talking about coming back. The place was clean and cozy. Well stocked kitchen for all your cooking needs. We didn't use the hot tub due to the weather. I would recommend!

We enjoyed our stay!! It was very relaxing, exactly what we needed. There was everything there that we needed. Communication was good and it was exactly as advertised. We will be back!! Love how informative the host is. I left my necklace and they were so quick to get it returned to me!! Highly recommend. Thank you for everything!

This place was perfect for my boyfriend and I for a long weekend. It is close to town yet far enough away to be quiet. The hot tub was so relaxing and we even saw some deer out in the woods behind the cabin. It was cozy and we definitely plan on coming back in the future. Highly recommend!
