Needed a place where I could unplug and enjoy nature with my dog and the cabin totally had that!!! The cabin was clean and had everything one needed for relaxing. Lots of deer in the apple orchard. Welcome basket with wine and other goodies was a really nice touch and the wood burning stove was already started for me! I will be back

Perfect Cozy Cabin
This cabin was perfect! As listed, there’s no wifi and national cell carriers (Verizon, AT&T) don’t seem to have cell service, but that couldn’t have been more welcome for us to truly unplug! The cabin was cozy and very well stocked with anything you’d need. We woke each morning to a pileated woodpecker at the bird feeders and ended each day with a cozy wood fire inside. The ponds and apple orchard made for some fun exploring and the nearby Ice Age Trail was a great day hike. Great anniversary spot and hope to be back!

I was looking for a quiet place to unwind after busy days at a canine search and rescue seminar. It was exactly what I was looking for. Pretty and relaxing, both inside and out. I especially enjoyed the lovely outside area to stretch your legs or just sit on the porch and enjoy the pond wildlife. Thank you for a great stay!

Cabin in the woods
Only concern was Wifi. We were planning a reunion so it was difficult communicating with relatives. Loved the welcome basket. So nice when my brother visited.

This place is amazing. The wildlife and birds are everywhere. You are secluded and can detach from the world. The owner made us feel welcome from the minute we arrived. Our family enjoyed it so much. We will be going back. It doesn't disappoint at all.

Away for the weekend
We arrived at the property where the host had left a generous gift. My husband and I spent the rainy day learning to play new board games. This was an amazing place to disconnect from the world and connect with nature and eachother. Our dog was pretty happy to explore the new smells too.

Amazing!!
Such a beautiful property surrounded by so much wildlife! We woke up to deer, turkeys, and an array of different birds right out front of the cabin. It was secluded, but not difficult to locate. We will definitely be back to pick some apples in the fall! Thank you so much Gary, you rock!

Peaceful Oasis
My partner and I stayed here for the celebration of their 29th birthday and had an absolute blast. We picked apples, enjoyed the crisp fall air and explored the grounds. The pictures dont do this space justice, its very cozy and everything youd want from a cabin.

Unique log cabin in the woods situated in front some lovely ponds. Enjoyed the peaceful setting and quiet restful nights. We were hiking the Ice Age Trail and the home is four miles from the trail.

I cannot recommend this place enough! Gary was beyond accommodating and extremely responsive throughout our stay. From catching fish, apple picking, walks through the woods, and stargazing - this place has everything for a cozy, relaxing weekend getaway. We cannot wait to be back!
