This is our second time staying at this wonderful cabin. We love the peaceful haven in the woods. So did our dog! It is a lovely place to walk and relax. We utilized the garage this time which was perfect. The gas stove was great for pancake cooking. Lots of counter space. The hideaway deck with rocking chairs was just off the dining area under the tree canopy. It was a great place to chat. We could open the screened windows and french doors to let in the fresh air. It truly was home away from home for us.
