Quiet clean little cabin. Super comfy. Far enough away from any roads we didn't have to worry about noise. Handled 4 guests easily but could probably handle double that considering the basement we didn't even use. Highly recommend

The amenities provided were top-notch, ensuring that we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Overall, our experience was nothing short of amazing. We cannot recommend Jake and his property highly enough. Thank you for such a memorable stay—we will definitely be back!
