Awesome place, nearly forgot to right a review but the place was so good there’s no way I’d leave it without a review. Way better than expected. Highly recommend, will definitely be visiting again sometime ! Way more goodies than expected.. the place is a mini palace within itself. Has everything needed !

Instructions were very clear and Mike was extremely helpful and prompt in answering any questions I had. I camped there with about a foot of snow on the ground and loved the whole experience that this site has to offer and just how quiet it is in the middle of winter. There are also some really good restaurants in the surrounding towns for foodies as well.

With pets

The structure is fantastic and has everything you need for a cozy stay in the woods. There are other properties nearby but far enough that they are out of sight. The walk from the road to the cabin is short & well marked.

Romantic Escape or Quiet Solitude

A beautiful cabin nestled in the woods—a perfect place to simply 'be.' The cabin is a wonderful example of minimalism, offering the most important things you need without excess. The host, Michael, is incredibly attentive and, more importantly, patient with questions (thanks for putting up with mine, Michael!). For any potential needs, he kindly directed me to nearby places, offering a sort of concierge service that added to the experience.

The cabin is in a great, completely secluded location. It has all the necessary amenities, and the host ensures that guests feel warm and welcomed. I will definitely book it again in the future. There are no tips or caution notes, as everything is perfect.

Minimal but charming, everything we needed for a quick / simple off grid trip. Foliage was great and weather was incredible.
