Guest review summary: clean, comfortable and cozy! Our place is well equipped for your stay in town.

Unplug and get back to nature

The log cabin was built as a place to unwind, relax, and truly unplug. Nestled among 15 acres of rolling hills, the cabin can serve as a place to hunker down and read three novels, or a home base for hiking, cycling and putting the nature back in your life. Be advised, there is NO television and that’s for good reason. Cook, drink, eat, play, relax and refresh yourself. Wake up to the songs of birds and listen to the owls at night while you’re warming yourself around a bonfire.

Quiet Cabin -weekend retreat on river-

JosephRating, 5 stars1 week ago

It was wonderful little getaway in a wooded area right on the river. There was absolutely no shortage of wildlife, deer, geese, chipmunks, rabbits and lots of others all made regular appearances. One of my favorite activities was just sitting quietly as wildlife did its thing around me. It was very peaceful and would recommend if you need a quiet tranquil retreat with plenty of privacy.
