This was a spectacular retreat for us on our 31st wedding anniversary. I was so touched there was a decorated Christmas tree in the living room. The house was immaculate and the accommodations more than ample. We used the fireplace and hot tub every day. It was chilly, so the robes were much appreciated!! It is such a nice place with a very homey feel to it. The upstairs balcony was the perfect space for quiet prayer in the mornings. The location was close enough to anything we wanted to go out and do, but remote enough for us to stay in and chill when we wanted to. We prefer to cook than go out, so the nicely stocked kitchen was enjoyable to use. The directions were well-informed and we had no issues finding the place. We brought a muscle car and had no problems on any of the roads when it was wet. This is a beautiful, rustic cabin with a gorgeous view and plenty of room for guests. We look forward to returning with our college-age children soon! Thank you!
