Perfect and comfortable for a weekend in the woods." - "Great weekend getaway, the hot tub and fire pit was great. Paula our property manager was the best! Thanks for the great stay, we loved every second of it!" - "We had a great weekend! The cabin is small but charming, the hot tub and grill were wonderful, and even though the road is nearby it felt very secluded. Also loved that Cabin in the Woods was on the DVD rack. :) I would say that if you are a bigger person, you may want to bring some deck chairs, as the ones provided are rather narrow. Still, we had lovely meals on the back deck and will definitely have this on the list for weekend getaways!"

Quiet neighborhood and delicious pizza down the street at Beechwood. The photos do not do this home justice, if you are thinking about booking this place do it now!" - "We needed a getaway before summer got away from us. The house was so cute and stocked with everything you could need and more. Great location for a quick trip to a fishing spot. With my husbands health issues it was perfectly situated to head out fishing for a bit then retreat to relaxe in the A/C when he started having issues. The view of the water from the front window buoyed his spirits when it was too much to head outside. It was just the best view to start and end a day. The neighborhood was wonderful,neighbors were friendly and the deer and fawn were fun to watch. The pizza place at the end of the road was a great recommendation.
