We came up to go to the LLWS. This location was perfect and not too far from the ball fields. Accommodations were as advertised and very comfortable. The firepit by the stream was a great spot for relaxing. Would stay again.

Perfect race weekend getaway
4 of us + our dog stayed here over the weekend of the Hyner Trail Challenge. It was the perfect spot to get a good night's sleep the night before the race and unwind afterwards. The beds were comfy and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals each night. Our only regret is that our stay wasn't long enough to sit out and enjoy the campfire & creek atmosphere. We'll definitely stay here again when in the area for future races.

Perfect Weekend Getaway
This property is exactly as advertised. We received a call from property management a few days before our arrival to go over directions to the house which was greatly appreciated. The property is located in a beautiful wooded area. It's a short walk from the cabin down to the creek. The fire pit was great for grilling burgers and for the kids to roast marshmallows. The inside of the cabin was very clean. Bedrooms were clean and comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay.

Wonderful cabin stay!
Had a wonderful stay at the cabin! Me and a couple of friends were up for a hunting trip and while we didn’t get to take full advantage of the amenities while we were there we were more than comfortable when we had free time! While the location is right off a small highway (two lane highway that splits, not a ton of traffic) you’re also directly next to a beautiful creek that you can constantly hear while out near the fire pit. The cabin has ample space for four people to sleep comfortably through the bedrooms alone, plus a futon and a couch. The cabin was very well updated, and had fully functioning Wifi (wasn’t the best connection but knowing the area I understand it’s hard to get great wifi and cell connection upstate), had a fully functioning landline, we were able to get cable in time for Sunday night football, and an electric fireplace that kept the place very warm. There’s a fully functional kitchen with a gas stove that was working wonders for all of our cooked meals, but I would recommend that the owner stock up on a couple of more kitchen amenities like a good knife and some oven mitts, but then again we were cooking every breakfast and every dinner in the cabin so our experience may be asking a bit more of the kitchen. The owner was very responsive, and the property caretaker was very friendly and accommodating despite difficulties getting in touch. My friends were constantly raving about how much they liked the cabin and they both are ready to set up plans for next year! I’d absolutely recommend this cabin to anyone who wants to get upstate to a quieter area, there’s tons of state game land and trout streams for outdoorsmen and I noticed a very extensive binder full of things to do in the area at the cabin!

Needs some TLC
The property manager and owner were VERY nice, but the property amenities need to be adjusted. The WiFi barely worked, no heat on porch, screen door handle was broken and would not lock, very small shower/ bathroom, larger people will have issues. Although it can sleep 7 to 8 adults there is just not enough room. I believe that this property would be better suited for smaller groups. The price and location were excellent!! I have always been very honest with my reviews, and hope that they will help the property owners, as well as future renters. Thank you!!

Slice of Heaven!
This was a perfect weekend getaway for our family. We were celebrating our daughter’s 14 birthday and she requested a weekend in a cabin. We typically camp in The summer and a cabin was a nice change of pace. There are so many special touches the lights around the fire pit area, the dog bowl for our labs, candles throughout the cabin, mood-lighting, games galore (we loved Kwirky!), the kitchen has everything needed to make a full spread, lots of movies for a rainy day, the local guide binder, comfy blankets in the family room, and so much more. It was not like going to a rental it was more like coming home for a cozy weekend! Our three girls loved the whole experience and our pups Hunter and River approved as well. We look forward to returning for a summer trip to enjoy the water! The location is amazing close to Mcconells, Up the Crick (awesome store) and a short drive to the Creamery (yumm). Thank you so much for opening your cabin to us!

The wooded lot with a peaceful creek flowing right outside the cabin was perfection for us as Nature lovers. We followed the trails in and around the property. Absolutely loved every minute. Inside were all the comforts of home. Could not have asked for anything more! Our little adventurous Roxy pup loved it too.

This cozy cabin is just what we needed for a relaxing weekend away. It had everything we could need, the bed was super comfortable and was close to all the spots we wanted to explore. Our old dog loved exploring the yard and splashing in the creek out back. We had a tiny issue, to which the owners responded immediately and was resolved. The whole experience was stress free- we would definitely love to come back!

Convenient location but very loud traffic
Communication with property manager was good, property was clean and location was convenient in terms of being close to rail trail, Creek access and nearby state park. Kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. However, there were a few things that detracted from our experience. Upon arrival, the property manager informed us there was a problem with the toilet leaking that the previous renters reported and a plumber had not been able to get out yet to fix. So we had to keep towels at the base of the toilet to absorb the leak. We were also very disappointed upon arrival to see a big satellite dish taking center stage at the fire pit. The fire pit is great, but if you are coming here to relax and unplug, just be warned that every time you sit around the fire pit, a satellite dish is hogging prime real estate and you can’t avoid seeing it the entire time. The main issue for us though was all the road noise and traffic. The property sits at the intersection of two roads and one of them appears to be a main thorough way. Constant traffic all day and night, including many tractor trailers using their brakes. The ceilings in the cabin are low and I realize there is nothing owners can do about this, but the fans in the living room and main bedroom are dangerously low and personally I would find another way to get air flow in these rooms.

Comfortable Cottage
We were comfortable during our 3 night stay. We were close to spectacular scenery and there were plenty of interesting places to investigate as well as to shop nearby. Because of the rainy weather and the exploring we did nearby, we did not make use of the firepit. The enclosed porch was a very nice feature. Be ready for that steep driveway!

We loved our stay the property it is maintained well updated, lots of amenities, pretty views, Very clean!!! Just a suggestion to duck tape around air conditioners to stop bugs from coming in. Just a few things, the room closest to road is loud with traffic. Driveway is steep a little trouble getting out with low small cars. But overall we would stay again.

Nicely decorated and well kept inside. Great communication with property manager. Met us promptly on site at check in time. Provided lots of information on nearby activities. It is located close to the road and just around the corner from town, which is busier than we prefer, but good for being close to activities.

Peaceful, but must be prepared
The property was extremely clean & very well supplied, but you must supply your own wood for the fire ring. We had the luxury of leftover wood to add to what we purchased, getting us through the 4 night stay, as temps were low 50s in the PM, in June(!). Please note owner's notice that power can go out, as it did. A storm took power out the day of arrival and it was being worked on while we were enroute, and thankfully restored. We planned on takeout the 1st evening, which helped, though there was no phone line or internet for 3 days, so no wifi for cell/internet use, and the only cell signal is in center of town. I normally don't use the cell on trips like this, but without a landline and having a problem at the cabin, one needs a cell to contact the manager. The 4th night the power went out again, early evening till about midnight. Thankfully, we are tent campers, and I come prepared, so the evening meal was over an open fire, and a camp lantern was the light to eat by. A bucket of water helped the toilet situation, so we were prepared. Also the "path" along the beautiful stream at the property that leads to Pine Creek is not fully accessible due to huge downed trees, thus you must drive to find access to fish at Pine Creek. Just keep those things in mind, so you are prepared. The stay was peaceful, relaxing, and nature all around. Some noted that sitting right on the road, there was noise, which we did have at times, but it was not offensive.
