We love coming to this cabin, it is our escape from fast paced life at home. The moment we see the front door, we breath a deep sigh of relaxation.Tucked away between beautiful old hardwood trees, all you can see is Nature’s Beauty. Every time we visit, we are stuck by how tranquil it is here. Sitting on the back porch, in our favorite porch swing, all you hear is the wind rustling through the leaves, birds chirping and the occasional lowing cow. The mornings are filled with fresh crisp air, and evenings a sky full of stars. There is nothing like taking a break here with friends and family to relax and unwind. We hope you enjoy your stay at our cabin “Among the Trees”!
