Our second stay there was a comforting pleasure, just like the first time. It's location is central to the old towns there, yet in a quiet, secluded area. Everything you need is in the bungalow and the fenced back yard perfect for our Daisy (older dog). Look forward in staying again.

Great place!

This is a great place to stay and it’s dog friendly. Close to Columbia State park and it’s a short drive to Jamestown and Sonora. It was very peaceful and so much wildlife to watch as we drank our coffee in am. Would recommend this place to anyone:)

I stayed here for a week and then added two more days because I loved it so much. It is a very sweet, private cabin with a lovelybackyard from which youcan watch the turkeys and deer mosey on by.But my favorite was the absolutely gorgeous sunset every night.

The bungalow was perfect - clean, cozy, private with a fully fenced yard for our pup, too! Kim was a dream to work with. Only 20 minutes to Murphys, less than 45 minutes to Big Trees and walking distance to the cute historic town of Columbia. Just an awesome visit!
