Lovely Stay!

My best friend and I stayed in this cabin for a fun get together. We would highly recommend it! The hot tub was a plus and the area was very lush and well maintained. Our dogs also enjoyed their time getting to explore the area and having so much room in the yard. Thanks for a great stay!

This is a great getaway!!! John is a great host. The caboose is just the way it is described. It rained most of the time we were there, so we were unable to take advantage of the grill and firepit, but we still enjoyed the birds singing and the quietness. There are many things to see/do in the area and we had a fun time.

Cute place

Had a great time here. Had everything we needed. I loved how secluded it was. A perfect getaway! We really enjoyed the hot tub. The owner was very thoughtful and left us a giftcard to a nearby restaurant and some wine and waters in the fridge. Would definitely stay here again!

Girls Trip

My daughter and I have been finding unusual places for a quick girls getaway and this place did not disappoint. Check in was so easy and we received a code to enter. Check out was easy with a checklist to complete. Great communication with owner. We were able to bring out small old dog with once we paid a small extra fee, 40. The place was a perfect time to spend time together and make memories. I'd definitely recommend!

Loved it!

We loved our stay! We were here in single digit weather and still had a blast. We enjoyed the complimentary wine, cozy hot tub, and nearby hiking. The snow was magical. We'd love to come back again to experience the caboose in warmer weather. Thanks for a great stay!
