Whimsical cabin nestled in the woods

JesseRating, 5 stars1 month ago

This was a beautiful little get away. It was so nice to be unplugged from the world and just rest in this restful spot. The hammocks in the trees were peaceful as you heard the birds chirp and watch them fly around. The lighting at night was beautiful perfect for walking the area and getting to the conservatory. Would recommend to friends for a weekend getaway. And will be back in the fall when the leaves are changing colors! Hosts were friendly and gave perfect recommendations for us to eat at as well as visit. Will be back!

We rented this air bnb because we had a large family gathering at our home and we were out of space for people to sleep. I was grateful the air bnb in town was available! Our family members had nothing but good things to say about it. They thought it was a charming place full of character; clean; and the beds were comfortable. Thank you Amanda for your good communication and having the place spotless and ready for our family! Highly recommend!
