Thornwood Cottage is the perfect little get away

Thornwood cabin is a beautifully wood-crafted space that is easily accessible from the main driveway. This cabin offers a small living area with new queen size sleeper sofa, equipped with a small kitchen, as well as a loft that includes a queen-sized bed. It provides a private space within very close proximity to the Thornwood house. This will have all outside hookups to charge your fishing boat, perfect for those seasoned fisherman! This a cabin, so the bathroom is not inside the cabin, but is just a few steps off the deck. It is solely for this cabin, has just been remodeled. There is an outside entrance from the Thornwood house. This is a full functioning bathroom, with newly remodeled toilet and shower. There is solar lighting on the path to bathroom, flashlight is also hanging by the door if needed. The fire pit is just a few steps out back of the cabin, wood is available to purchase at a reasonable price. Note - we do rent both the Thornwood house and the cabin separately , so there may be other guest staying at the other location.

Lovely cabin!!
The cabin is exactly as in the pictures. It's wonderful: very cozy, well-equipped, extremely clean, it's got all modern comforts, and it is in a beautiful setting. The heating was on when I arrived, so that was a nice surprise. It was very quiet and close to some easy hiking trails. There is also a lovely area outside with a fire pit, and it is ideal for BBQ weather permitting. Two pieces of advice: take groceries/drinking water with you as it is quite remote (which is what is great about it!), and don't drink too much after 7:00 pm, as you need to go out to go to the bathroom (It is mentioned on the listing, though.) Other than that, Jane is a great host and responds immediately to your texts. I definitely recommend and hope to go back soon. Nik

Boys Hunting Adventure
Staying here has turned into a tradition for us. It is a great intimate little space where we have been able to enjoy the outdoors during the day and came back to tell hunting stories at night.

Weekend get away
Everything was great but the only thing I would change is the stone walkway to the bathroom and shower house. In the middle of the night when needed to go to the bathroom it was hard not to trip but I would recommend this place to everyone
