Come experience a one‑of‑a‑kind mountain cabin retreat, nestled in the forest and surrounded by wildlife and peaceful natural beauty. It’s close to everything—but feels wonderfully secluded.

We love living here and enjoy sharing our home with visitors from around the world. We look forward to making each guest's stay as comfortable, memorable, and unforgettable as possible.
ABOUT THE PLACE:
The Space:
Our home strikes the perfect balance between accessibility and tranquility—just minutes from the highway yet so peaceful you won’t hear traffic. Instead, you’ll be serenaded by birdsong and forest sounds—and you might even see deer strolling through the yard!
Guest Information & Amenities:
* Cat on Property: We have a sweet, senior cat who lives upstairs and is usually content in our private space—though he sometimes wander downstairs. We mention this for allergy awareness—most guests with mild sensitivities are fine, but please check with your doctor if needed.

However, if your infant would like their own meal, just let us know. We can prepare an age-appropriate breakfast for $15, payable by cash, e-transfer, or added to your Airbnb booking.
