Quite, peaceful, and perfect!

Needed a break from the business of life. Needed a place with no distractions and the noise was silenced. A place to just do nothing. A place to just relax and reset. It was perfect!

Time in nature

The cabin is in a beautiful area with hiking near by. It felt very private and had everything we needed for a weekend away. The kitchen was great to cook in and the bed was surprisingly comfortable. If you have a low profile car, go extraordinarily slow on the gravel driveway. There is also almost no cell signal, so keep that in mind if you need to keep in contact with anyone.

Restful and relaxing

Much needed restful weekend getaway with my husband. If you’re looking for seclusion, you’ll find it here. So Peaceful - literally only heard nature sounds for our 3 day stay. If you need entertainment, bring your own - with no WI-FI and only a few channels on TV, you’d be wise to bring cards, board games, DVDs, etc. Cannelton was a fun little town to explore. We also enjoyed a few local eateries, wineries, and antique shops.

Only thing I would change wish there was internet at the cabin, and there would of been a sign to show the address took awhile to find the cabin to make sure we was going to the correct one. But other than that very nice and cozy cabin! Very clean and taken care of!

Birthday trip for my Wife

We stayed here with our Daughter and our dog for my Wife's Birthday. Love the Cabin and property Weber Grill and fire pit outside makes for a great camp feel. Indoor fire stove is small so bring small pieces of wood if intend to have a fire. the stairs are pretty steep so the dog would not go upstairs in the loft area. Kitchen is well equipped for a weekend stay, Hot tub was clean and nice and hot!

Cute cabin and hot tub

Amazing stay for Valentine's Weekend with my partner. The property manager's communication was very courteous and helpful. The property is great, remote enough to feel private, but still only a few minutes away from the general store, which has pretty much anything you might need. There's only one cabin within eyesight from the back deck, and only during the day. Loved the hot tub and got our money's worth out of it. The cabin was roomier than we were expecting, with a very well equipped kitchen, even had an electric mixer, which I wasn't expecting. The loft is pretty bare bones and the stairs up to it are steep, but neither were a real problem. There were plenty of towels provided. And even air mattresses that the two of us didn't need, with those, it could definitely easily comfortably accommodate a family. Very positive stay overall.

The property was beautiful. Cabin homey and clean. Our stay was so peaceful and relaxing. The only thing would be to include that no WiFi and low reception, you are pretty much not going to have any connection. We enjoyed our time walking beautiful trails and relaxing with good books.
