Quiet & Relaxing

We had a nice time. Our dogs loved the creeks. We did have to drive to get to water, the creek close to the cabin had no water at all, but our dogs loved the yard and the oversized lot next to it to run. I would definitely recommend this location to families.

Great stay

We have stayed here perviously and had a great time. This time around didn’t disappoint! Plenty of space for the kids, with wildlife everywhere! The rooms were clean, the beds were comfy, and the kitchen had everything we needed! There were great hiking trails nearby with plenty of spots to fish & relax, and a trip into town was only about 20 minutes away. Can’t wait to stay here again!!
