This was an amazing visit, and would have been even at a significantly higher price. The property is well-maintained, private, set in a beautiful forest and only a brief walk to a river. The rustic cabin is extremely charming, comfortable and roomy for only 2 or 3 people, though it could easily accommodate 6 without a lot of crowding.
The host/property owner is extremely personable and responsive. Communication was both convenient and enjoyable. Many small amenities and necessities are provided, including snacks, ingredients for mixing a few drinks, aromatherapy candles, walkies for coordinating on a hike, books, games, DVDs... Well anticipated niceties are added here and there to make your stay more enjoyable and convenient. The property is definitely set up to provide a home-like experience rather than merely a crash pad.
My friend and I were both badly behind on rest, so we spent most of our time there inside the cabin or on the covered porch. (Sitting on the porch during a rain lulls you into the perfect contemplative relaxation.) I fully intend to visit the cabin again--probably many times--and I look forward to exploring the surrounding woods on a future trip when I'm not quite as focused rest.
Thank you again, Judy! My friend and I had a great time, and the setting was very conducive to a much needed recovery.
