History buffs will love this place as we did.
We stayed four nights. The log home is even nicer than the pictures. Very comfortable and clean. Suzy the host was so hospitable, she had coffee stuff and and snacks available in the home for guests. Very peaceful setting, so easy to relax in. The front porch and rear patio were awesome to have our coffee on. We would definetely go back. We love history and antiques so this was a perfect place for us to stay.

Excellent Mountain Cabin Getaway
We had a great time staying at this authentic and modernized mountain cabin. The kids loved the quiet surroundings with excellent restaurants within a 15 minute drive. Farm dogs were wonderful! They would great my children each morning. Suzy was great. She responded to my every message. An incredible and relaxing stay.

Rustic with modern amenities
WE loved this little place in this historic house. The house was nicely refurbished, with added modern conveniences, There wasn’t TV to watch, but that is exactly what we wanted for our getaway. We liked the fact that we could have wi-if to look up local attractions. The house has split unit heating and air in the rooms, so we could adjust temperatures as needed. New modern bathroom was very nice. There isn’t much privacy as we could hear what our friends were saying and talking about, so if you are traveling with friends, be aware that the house doesn’t have much sound insulation. This only added to the charm for us. Decor was vey true to the style of the house and the beds and large comfy couch were nice perks. Outside is a nice fire pit for enjoying being outside at night. Quiet and calm. There are friendly rescue dogs on the property that come to visit and hang out. Our friend had brought her dog along and he had a blast exploring the property and interacting with the owner’s dogs. There was a slight mixup about when we were to arrive, but that was addressed right away and fixed. The owner was very friendly and helpful, we enjoyed visiting with her and she even brought us a delicious home made dessert one night that was perfect. As far as the area goes, there isn’t much to do unless you are willing to take a little drive, but that didn’t bother us as we were just there to escape and relax. There is a nice hiking trail on the property.

One of our favorite getaways
This is our third time visiting, and we always love the time to disconnect a bit and just be with our family. The cabin is just great with it's historic presence combined with some modernizations. We enjoy hiking around the property with our dog and with Suzy's dogs leading the way for us We love coming here.
