This cozy little cabin worked great for a secluded spot to take my virtually proctored board exam. It's quiet and the internet connection was strong. The host communicated well.

This little cabin is so darned cute! And full of everything you could ever need or want. The host is very attentive and helpful. The temps were about 110 with the heat index while we were there, so we didn’t enjoy the outdoor space as much as we wished we could have, but the air conditioners kept everything cool and comfortable. We had a great visit and can’t wait to return to enjoy the beautiful setting in the autumn!!!! Thank you Abby!!!!

Clean glamping experience Lots of nice amenities: AC, fridge, grill, firepit, porch and porch chairs, shower. Located next to the state park where the stars are visible and the lake has nice docks and trails to explore. I do recommend taking the suggestion to bring water as the tap is metallic in taste. pull out sofa bed was a little uncomfortable, but the lofted bed was very nice. still beats sleeping on the ground camping! would recommend. Host was very friendly and answered any questions. She also offered to mail back a soap we forgot to pack and allowed us to stay a few hours after check out time since the next guests were not arriving till the following day.

Cabin in nature Unfortunately it rained for the duration of our stay so we were unable to take advantage of the lake, decks, fire pit etc.
