Relaxing
We had a wonderful time enjoying this cabin with our family. My kids 10 and 7 LOVED the pool and hot tub along with the fact they had their own space to hang out and play in the basement. It was a very relaxing few days and was truly an oasis.

Family Getaway Celebration
The Empty Nest Cottage was absolutely perfect for our family weekend! We received a beautiful welcome basket to begin our stay, full of wonderful treats. The cabin is so well stocked with everything you could possibly need. The cabin was not only beautiful but so comfortable, welcoming and exceptionally clean! It is in a peaceful and quiet area which made our weekend even better! The homeowners guide and QR Youtube aids were more helpful than a hotel front desk! I had reached out with a couple of questions and received very prompt responses. You can just tell that the homeowners care not only for their home but for their guests as well! The Empty Nest Cottage deserves more than five stars!!!
