Sliding doors off of the living room open to a deck with a grill and spectacular forest and river views. The master bedroom is off of the kitchen. It offers a queen bed and has a private bathroom with a large walk-in shower. The bunk room down the hall from the living room has four twin beds and one full bed. It’s the perfect space for kids with toys, games, and books. A full bathroom is next to the bunk room. The “stone room” is through French doors off of the living room. It has vaulted ceilings and has a large, plush sectional that has a pull-out bed as a sleeping option. The room also has a television and is a great space for watching a movie or spending time with family and friends. Downstairs, a third living area doubles as a game room.

This cozy room has a full bathroom, queen-sized bed, and a workspace. The walk-in closet is large enough for a pack-n-play. The laundry room is also downstairs, which you are welcome to use.

Other hiking trails in the area are accessible via the main road, including the famous Appalachian Trail. You can find trail maps online. The house is equipped with WiFi.

We were looking to get away from the busy suburbs and this home was perfect. The photos do not do the place justice. It is on private road with very few other homes with woods above and a river below the house. At night, it is pitch black and silent. The home is large, the furniture is comfortable and the kitchen is very well stocked. The host reached out proactively to discuss potential weather challenges. It was appreciated. We will definitely return in the fall to take advantage of nearby hiking trails.

This was the perfect place for our family to gather. There’s space to be together and space to have quiet time. The kitchen has almost everything you need except for a rolling pin! A wine bottle is a good substitute though! Check-in and check-out instructions are very easy. One thing to be aware of if coming in the winter. It take’s about two hours for the house heat up completely because of boiler heat. Once it does though it is consistently warm and comfortable. The scenery is gorgeous and relaxing. There are other cabins around but not right next to you. It really was perfect for what we needed. Thank you for such a great space!!

We loved the home, it was clean, very cozy, fully stocked. Bed was very comfortable. Will be booking again to stay here. The host was very nice. We arrived a hour earlier and was able to get in.

Sara's place was great! It's very comfortable, incredibly spacious, and in a beautiful setting. All of the instructions were very clear and easy. Check in and checkout were very easy. We will definitely book again, if it's available!
