Perfect place to disconnect from the world and reconnect with family
We got grandparents, kids and grandkids together for a long weekend, and the cabin was absolutely perfect. TVs have dvd players with a ton of dvd options which the grandkids enjoyed first thing in the morning. There are SO many games. We played a ton of them around the kitchen table. Everyone caught fish in the pond (even the 3 year old). We took hikes and cooked hot dogs and s’mores over the fire. The screened porch was perfect for our morning coffee. The cabin is the quintessential cabin retreat. We had so much fun shutting off our phones and reconnecting with each other. I can’t recommend this property enough.

The creek wrapped around the entire home, and you could hear is all day and night. The pond had fish food. The porch was by far the best part, coffee in the morning, cards in the afternoon.
