This was a beautiful cabin and location to stay at. Even with the cabin being directly off of the town square it was a very quite location. At night you get that nice small town feel. The property manager was also very friendly when communicating with them.

This is a unique stay. Loved learning the history of the cabin. The bed was extremely comfortable and the owner goes above and beyond on thoughtful amenities. Highly recommend! Note for people who have stability issues, you have to be able to climb into the tub!

The cabin was super welcoming and so cute! The location is perfect. Its a quiet place. The porch has a rocker for 2 and its nice just to sit and take in the fresh air. The restaurant on the corner serves the best burgers we've had. Nice little stay for our family.
