Retreat to your very own forest haven
Trees on all sides
From the front porch, you'll look out over a small meadow into the forest. Take in the night sky view to the east and watch the light twinkle through the trees at sunrise.
The view from the back deck looks downhill into a forest as well. Hear the birds sing and the wind rush through the leafy canopy. It's just the relaxing sound you never knew you needed!
Outdoor Bliss and Intimacy
Step outside and discover a haven of tranquility. Unwind in the inviting four-person hot tub, enveloped by the serene beauty of nature. Share intimate moments around the crackling fire pit, surrounded by four comfortable Adirondack chairs. We provide the firewood, so all you have to do is focus on creating memories together.

We couldn’t have chosen a more perfect getaway than this cabin. It’s located in such a peaceful area, making you feel like you are in your own oasis. We loved sitting on the front porch, breathing in some of the freshest air we’d had in a while, and enjoying time in the hot tub while gazing out at nature. We walked along the clearly marked trail on the property. Kitchen is very well stocked, for those who like to cook we took advantage of the supplies! King bed was super comfortable. During the trip, we got engaged, so it will always have a special place in our hearts!
Look no further, book this cabin!
