Little Cottage in the Woods

This peaceful little cabin is nestled in a groove of oaks, facing a meadow and a meandering spring creek and a lighted fishing hole. It has a lot of privacy, an outdoor firepit, outdoor seating, trees, and a porch with a view of the meadow and creek. You may see an occasional grazing cow and there’s plenty of hiking, fishing and bird watching. Bring the old fishing pole. The cottage is extremely private, with a fresh water well, and state- of- the- art indoor heating and cooling.
The roof and ceiling of the cottage are repurposed with antique barn tin.
The cottage is furnished with old family antiques dating back to the late 1800’s. There’s a full kitchen with a beautiful, add-on, pioneer kitchen table. The kitchen is furnished with a Keurig and a microwave for those who really want to get back to basics, but not too far back! There is no wifi here. This place is not a hotel, but an old, refurbished cabin, smack dab in the middle of a working ranch! Don't be surprised if a cow greets you as you step outside the cabin for your morning coffee. We do not have fences around the cabin. Please be mindful of this if you bring your fuzzy babies along.
This cottage is a true get away. A rugged yet chic, old yet modern, unplugged place to retreat.
Come here and trim down, reprioritize and find your purpose again!

Wonderful getaway trip! Shannon was super helpful and made our stay very comfortable and accommodating. The cottage is great, doesn’t have all the bells and whistles of a new gen place, but it has what you need and offers peace & relaxation.

Exactly what we were looking for! My son picked this spot out for a little mom-son get away. He loved the fishing right out the front door, being able to walk around the property, the wildlife, and even found a new favorite game (Chinese checkers) that was available at the cabin. The host Shannon was very communicative and we would love to come back again.

We didn’t even stay. Once there I couldn’t turn my boat around. And my wife did not want to stay based on how unkept the overall property was. But the hostess was very kind.

We really enjoyed our time at the cabin. It was private, peaceful and beautiful. If you don't like nature, you should stay in town. But for people like me that grew up in the outdoors and enjoy nature, this place is excellent. Not many places that you can see deer every day and listen to the wild turkeys gobbling while you are having your coffee. The A/C and heater worked well and kept the place comfortable. All in all it was a great place to stay.
