Being tucked away in the woods and all the nature to see is great. The house itself was beautiful inside and cozy too.

Girls weekend

The property is secluded which was nice. There was a sock left behind by someone else which was a little odd and the floors need replacing, but other than that it was a nice, cozy atmosphere and we enjoyed pur stay.

Perfect Family Getaway!

Property was clean and relaxing! Pictures matched description and was large enough for all of our guests; 8 adults and 3 children. Communication with the host was quick and efficient. Located on a secluded piece of property and easy to get to.

Excellent woodsy spot for a midwinter respite!

My friends and I spent a wonderful weekend taking walks in the woods, playing music by the fire pit, looking at the stars, and getting cozy next the indoor fireplace and Christmas tree. We were able to prepare delicious meals in the spacious and well-equipped kitchen. Thank you for the sharing your lovely home!

Hidden gem

This property was everything we imagined it to be.. and then some! You had privacy. You had the best mattresses ever. The AC was phenomenal even though it was like 100 degrees outside. The kids had a blast at the ponds and the creek. We had zero complaints. We’re already hoping for another trip!

In town for a wedding

The cabin is located near the back of the property. You can’t see it from road. It’s a gem of cabin. Might feel a little sketchy (per my daughter) driving down driveway, but I assure it is NOT! Cabin was clean and spacious. I definitely see staying a weekend here to enjoy the creek area. The sand was a bit aggravating as we were attending formal events, but nothing a little wet cloth didn’t fix. Great stay!

6/10 Okay

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Our group enjoyed the peaceful daytime atmosphere and the large yard, which works well for bigger gatherings. The cabin is fairly secluded, adding to the daytime charm, but the limited outdoor lighting makes the area very dark at night. For those not used to the country, the nighttime setting may feel uncomfortable.Inside the cabin, privacy was limited due to minimal curtains. We used butcher paper to cover windows after dark, but more substantial curtains would have been preferable. The firepit was a nice feature, and we used reusable water balloons instead of the slip‑and‑slide to avoid excess water use and yard litter. Only one water spigot was available, and our hose couldn’t reach the better grassy area across the yard.A major issue was the air‑conditioning. Starting on the second day, indoor temperatures stayed in the low 80s overnight and into the next day despite closed doors. We bought fans to improve circulation, but cooling remained inadequate and affected overall comfort.The cabin is raised and there were many discarded items underneath it. Tidying this space would improve the property’s appearance and create an additional shaded area for guests.The location is convenient, with a gas station, grocery store, and drugstore about 10 minutes away, plus two snowball stands within 5–10 minutes. While the property has appealing qualities, the cooling, privacy, and aesthetic issues kept the stay from being fully satisfactory.

Covington Visit

Overall, this property is exactly what we expected. It is off the beaten path and in dense woods. This makes for a very cozy scenic stay. It was clean and very quite. And was well stocked with everything we needed. While it does feel like you are in the middle of nowhere, you really aren't. We were able to get to and fro quite easily. Downtown Covington and it's surrounding areas are delightful! We truely had a spectacular time! The only tweak I would make is to freshen the numbers on the mailbox and make sure you check in before dark. We missed the turn for their house and ended up down their neighbors drive way, whose giant dog was eager to let us know we were in the wrong spot. Scary at the time, but a fun story to tell now. We are hoping to stay here again when we come back in October.Thanks to the host for a great stay!!
