Great property. Would definitely stay again.

Beautiful views and peaceful area. My dog and I enjoyed walking the road and cemetery. There is a dog that lives close by and it was not friendly. Thankfully my dog and I were already inside when it showed up but definitely be aware and keep your pets safe. Also, plan ahead, there was no gas station or grocery store or restaurant close by so make sure you stop in a larger nearby city! Overall, this cabin was clean and comfortable and as I said, a beautiful view!

Good times and great vibes we absolutely loved our stay
6 / 10Average·Apr 2026
The cabin was dusty, esp above the fire place. Bedroom had a q tip and large ball of dust in it. The shower doors in the hall bathroom would not stay closed. Hung on angle. Added water to the hot tub, was very low. Beds were comfortable, kitchen was nice except when we went to run the dishwasher and there was no tablets. Notified manager and was asked to go purchase some, I would get reimbursed. Schedules were pretty full and a trip to the store wasn’t in there.
