My wife and I had a wonderful stay here. We were able to grill and sit around a fire in the evening. We were able to shut out the hustle and bustle of our lives and concentrate on celebrating our anniversary and listening to nature. Also, the sunsets from the deck are wonderful!

Absolutely wonderful - again!

We had a wonderful time at this charming cabin nestled in the woods on the side of a mountain, again. Marilyn is the best host - quickly responsive, welcoming, thoughtful and helpful. The cabin is cozy and well appointed and has a lovely deck that lets you sit and enjoy a great view from up high amongst the boughs of the hemlocks, situated perfectly for the beautiful sunsets. Stores are within a 10-15 minute drive so we really had everything we needed along with the most restful stay. We'll be back again soon!

Perfect relaxing

It was located in the perfect location. Private and relaxing with Mother Nature sounds and views that were breathtaking. It was close enough for a drive into the little town to get groceries and enjoy an ice cream. The beds were comfy and the shower water pressure was great. Cabin lay out was very roomy, fresh and clean. The fire pit was nice to sit around on the cool nights. Sad that we didn’t book for a longer stay but maybe one day we can book again if ever out traveling that way. Thank you Marilyn for being a fabulous host and sharing your serenity space with us.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
We got there, after a tough time finding the place,found a picture window with a broken part held together with tape, a very cold room( we turned on the stove and oven until we found the baseboard heaters( no mention of those that I recall beforehand) The futon in the front room needed to grab the table to pull yourself up, the mattress in the bedroom was uncomfortable,too. The fridge had a rotten apple in the door, plus a dead gnat in it. The WiFi would not connect, so no internet, rsdio or TV. Only jigsaw puzzles The pond shown in the property photos was dry. Plus, we had a visitor unexpected, a mouse, who was bold enough to come out repeated and make its way from the kitchen to the bedroom.

Lovely, peaceful spot

Lisa's location is wonderful! Serenity is the perfect name for this place. The only sounds for the most part are the birds and the breeze. The cabin is small but it had everything we needed. The deck is the perfect place for a morning cup of coffee or an afternoon book. We took full advantage of the trails and the fact that we were the only ones there and hiked all over the property. We liked it so much that we are now looking for a house in the area. The fact that Lisa has spent the past 30 years maintaining, preserving and developing this 138 acre paradise is very impressive, and makes the place even more special. I highly recommend this spot to all nature lovers!!
