My husband and I, along with our little Maltese Buddy thoroughly enjoyed our week-long stay. The cabin is so beautiful and had every amenity we could imagine. The bed was so comfy and the fireplace so warm We enjoyed having coffee on the porch, watching the deer each morning and evening. The host was so nice to call and check in.

Awesome wonderful cabin

We have been staying at VRBO's for over 10 years. This cabin and owner is by far the best location and owner we have ever had. Judy could not have been more helpful. She is outstanding! The cabin is fully furnished and is absolutely beautiful. My wife and I have already reserved time for next year. We were very blessed to be able to stay in Judy's cabin.
