Comfortable Cabin near hiking trails
We really enjoyed our stay at the cabin. While my husband took time to go hunting nearby, I was able to enjoy hiking trails, the chocolate factory and around the lake. We definitely plan to come back.

Fantastic stay, needs better stairs.
Very secluded, very nicely kept. I was not a fan of the very dangerous stairs to the bed room and beds upstairs. We were very worried about us falling down them at night, so we just stayed on the very uncomfortable pull out couch. Over all is was a fantastic time, absolutely a beautiful piece of property and we do appreciate you sharing that with us. Thank you, Brian

Very Nice!
We were looking for a nice peaceful secluded place near Shawnee to celebrate our anniversary and we found it! Everything was very clean and neat and in excellent condition. We would highly recommend Rocky Ridge.

If your looking for remote and quiet this is the place. The only drawback is the stairs to the upper bedrooms but, other than that it was a great place

Great little cabin!
Remote little cabin. 1 neighbor, friendly and quiet. We had an amazing time hiking, and mushroom hunting, we also went to the beach at Lake Glendale. The water was pretty much bath water but we had a good time anyway. The cabin was super clean, but did have a mustiness to it, esp the upstairs sleeping area. We were recovering from a cold to it was noticable. Similar when I stay at my grandma's house. Updated/all new appliances and updated bathroom. Really good internet connection. Plenty of hot water. The ladder upstairs to sleeping quarters was manageable. We took our 3.5 and 1.5 year old so we just kept it closed during the day. The baby slept in a baby cage at night so we didn't have to worry about her wandering. We also brought our 2 dogs who stayed on the lower level.

Great Place
It was quiet, clean, and perfect for time to spend with the outdoors to enjoy our mornings sitting on the porch listening to nature. If you enjoying hiking would recommend Tunnel Hill
