This cabin was a great choice! We brought our 4 kids and 2 dogs up to this cabin for an end of year getaway and it did not disappoint. Just enough amenities to feel at home yet still has the cozy cabin feel with great fire pits and fireplace and plenty of adventuring for the family to enjoy. Even got to see wild Turkeys eating the deer feed in the front of the cabin. Would gladly choose this place again to see what it’s like during the spring/summer. Arthur was welcoming and very responsive to all of our messages.

The cabin was perfect for my birthday weekend getaway, the smores were great! Nice and peaceful, I love that the community is protected with gate keepers. The 2 lakes are nice for kayaking, everything you need is within 10 miles. Arthur communicated with us throughout our stay, he made sure everything was good.
