What an amazing place to stay. It was so quiet and very relaxing. We will be visiting again!
8 / 10Excellent·Jun 2026
Overall, we enjoyed our stay and loved the beautiful, peaceful surroundings. The property feels wonderfully secluded, and the cabin's 1800s history added plenty of charm and character. Danesa was also very responsive whenever we had questions.The upstairs master bedroom was clean and comfortable, but a dresser or drawers would have been more practical than the decorative table. The upstairs bathroom was adequate, though extra shelving for toiletries would help. The historic tub fit the cabin's character but was difficult to step in and out of.The main floor was charming, but the living area could use end tables or a coffee table since we often used kitchen chairs to hold drinks. The outdoor furniture cushions were stained and looked worn.The basement was less inviting. While the exposed brick added character, area rugs would make the concrete floors feel warmer. The basement bathroom was our biggest concern. We frequently found silverfish and spiders in the tub before showering, and there was a large opening beneath the tub exposing bare dirt and piping. The last day a bottle of conditioner flew off back of toilet (as there was no where else to put it) and landed in the black dirt hole, being lost forever. More shelving would be helpful.We understand this is a rustic historic cabin, not a modern hotel, and we appreciated its charm. With a few practical updates and better maintenance, especially in the basement bathroom, the stay would be even more enjoyable.
