Retreat with rustic cabin, picnic shed and ponds

Rustic, private retreat with 1,000 square foot solar powered off grid cabin, 2 ponds (fish stocked), and picnic shed, fire pit and charcoal grilling area on 75 acres with hiking areas. The cabin is furnished with antiques and has a true historic flair. There is a propane range, woodstove, propane gas log heater and beautiful stone wood burning fireplace. Firewood is provided. There is a gas grill at the cabin. The cabin has an open floor plan with a tin roof. The cabin has hot and cold running water inside. There is an enclosed shower/sink room with hot water adjacent to the cabin. A few steps from the cabin there is a pit toilet. There is no indoor toilet. There is no refrigerator, so you need to bring a cooler and ice. The amount of solar power is subject to the amount of sunshine we get and how leafed out the trees are. We provide oil, salt, pepper, sugar and coffee filters. Bring your coffee of choice. We have a Mr. Coffee drip coffeemaker. Falling acorns may be loud on the tin roof in the fall. We do have white noise machines by each bed.

Amazing, peaceful and relaxing getaway!

My stay with Rick and Joy was an absolutely wonderful experience. The communication was perfect and Joy was so helpful when I had any questions while I was there. The property is absolutely wonderful if you are looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of a busy life. The cabin was so much fun to stay in and rustic in nature with all the fun decorations. My dogs had a wonderful time running around and exploring. The fishing was absolutely great as well. I would recommend anyone that needs to get away from busy life to go here!!!

Colonial living with some modern flare!

Joy and Rick made it super enjoyable and were very respinsive to anything we needed ir needed help with. The ad is quite accurate, so don't be surprised when you got to take walk in the middle of the night... if you know what I mean? Wildlife, secluded, and quiet. The perfect getway to get away. We'll definitely be booking again! Thanks again Joy and Rick.

Cozy cabin vibes

We had a great weekend staying here! I particularly liked the cows and horses (mules maybe?) that live in the field behind the cabin. We had a great time getting off the grid for a few days.
