8 / 10Excellent·Jan 2026
Beautiful setting with lots of cool wildlife! This is a cozy and very rustic cabin that offered a reasonably nice stay. This is not a luxury resort and does not offer a lot of comfort, but it is certainly nice enough for a short stay. The living room couch is old with large springs and is not comfortable for more than a few minutes. The queen size bed is fairly firm with cheap thin pillows (bring your own if possible). Cleanliness was acceptable, but deep down cleanliness could have been better. Such as, the floor was clean where you walked, but up against the counters in the kitchen and other areas, it was in definite need of a thorough cleaning as were other less visible areas.Pluses include the on-site hiking areas, wood available for fires and lots of peace and quiet. We would stay again. Thank you!

My husband and I wanted to "unplug" over Christmas and this was the place to do it. It was so wonderfully quiet and beautiful. I did need to work on one day and the WiFi was excellent for me to be able to do so. We love to hike and were excited about all the trails, but I will say that the descriptions of the trails make them sound more like an easy stroll and they're not lol. Fortunately, as mentioned we are hikers so we were able to traverse them. So if I were to number easiest to hardest, we would say the easiest is the Grotto trail. It is up hill, but the path is pretty solid and easy to walk. The Grotto is so beautiful! The Advice from a MULE trail is a moderate one, with some steeper climbs and the hardest is the TEXAS Trail. It is definitely a more challenging climb, very rocky and steep. Beth was so nice and always friendly whenever she was doing her rounds to feed the barn cats. We saw elk and wild turkey traveling through while sitting on the porch. will definitely be back!

Isolated, scenic, and beautiful property. Surrounded by wildlife and trees. Adorable and comfortable cabin with full kitchen and AC. Hiking trails and a long covered porch to sit and watch nature.
