This cabin was more than we had expected! We loved the secluded location, and enjoyed just sitting on the front porch looking at the property. It was very clean, and the furnishings were wonderful. We enjoyed horseback riding and hiking locally!

The cabin looked even better in person than in the pictures! It was beautiful, renovated, and clean. We had a large group of 8 adults stay for one evening and the space was plenty. The location was quiet, and just as secluded as advertised. Would highly recommend!

Weekend getaway
This property was so beautiful and peaceful. The cabin was beautifully decorated. One of our family members has a walker, and had no problem getting around the lower level and out onto the deck.

Turkey hunting trip
The cabin, location and owner were great during our Turkey hunting trip. We had plenty of room for ten guys. Owner was great and responded immediately when we reached out. Found out the owner also owns Shotgun Eddie’s, which had excellent food and cold drinks. We will be returning and would highly recomend.

Fantastic
We had an amazing stay in the cabin. It is so nicely updated. Plenty of beds for our family. Has all the basics you could need for cooking. Used the fire pit out back. Stars were incredible! Beautiful property. We were there to visit the Shawnee National Forest and the location was great for us to hit all the popular spots. Would definitely stay again
