The property was beautiful. Cabin homey and clean. Our stay was so peaceful and relaxing. The only thing would be to include that no WiFi and low reception, you are pretty much not going to have any connection. We enjoyed our time walking beautiful trails and relaxing with good books.

Great little cabin in secluded bliss. Was surprised there was no wifi. Ladder to get upstairs steeeeep. Not for elderly people unless they slept in living room on futon. Hot tub great! (Needs braced underneath before it collapses.) If you plan to eat in take groceries with you. No big stores around and the Derby Market and General Store are . Overall a great little cabin in the woods.

Quite, peaceful, and perfect!

Needed a break from the business of life. Needed a place with no distractions and the noise was silenced. A place to just do nothing. A place to just relax and reset. It was perfect!

Authentic cabin experience with present day amenities. Property with mature trees and quiet sprawling hills overlooking the creek. Hot tub was great. Tell City is a beautiful short drive away. There is no internet at cabin and cell service is very limited. Could use some towel bars, caulking, cubbard cleaning and dish expansion,and some furniture updating. A/C had issue keeping up as it was in the 90s though. Take extra fans to circulate air up to loft sleeping area. Would return again, as the value is there, just needed a little more.
