Home layout & sleeping
The home has three bedrooms with full/queen beds: a cozy second-floor loft that overlooks the main living area, one first-floor bedroom, and one bedroom in a finished basement area. A full bathroom is located adjacent to the first-floor bedroom. Bedding, linens, and towels are provided.
Kitchen & living space
The first-floor kitchen includes a refrigerator, oven/stove, and microwave (no dishwasher). The main living area features a TV, wood stove, leather sofa and loveseat, plus a dining table with chairs. The décor is styled as a contemporary hunting lodge; all hunting memorabilia and artifacts are strictly decorative facsimiles and not for use.
Amenities & connectivity
Amenities include air conditioning, free Wi‑Fi, cable TV, a fitness center, a washer, free parking, and a smoke-free interior. Heating and cooling are noted by guests as effective, and the Wi‑Fi signal is reported as strong for streaming and everyday connectivity. The property is pet-friendly.
Land, trails & use rules
Guests have access to the entire log home, fields in front of and behind the home, a fire pit, and private walking/hiking trails across the acreage. A cell tower area and a garage at the top of the paved driveway (about a half mile away) are not included in the rental. For guest and wildlife safety, firearms, ATVs, snowmobiles, golf carts, and bicycles are strictly prohibited.
Best for
This property best suits travelers who want seclusion, nature, and on-site outdoor time—private trails, open fields, elevated views, and a fire pit are central to the experience. It’s also well-suited to couples, small groups, and pet owners who want a quiet log-home stay with a full kitchen, strong Wi‑Fi, and comfortable indoor space for downtime (TV/streaming, wood stove).
Travel tips
Plan to be self-sufficient: there are no documented nearby places, and the home’s kitchen is the primary option for meals (note there is no dishwasher). Expect a secluded setting with access limited to the home, fields, fire pit, and trails; the garage/cell-tower area at the top of the paved driveway (about 0.5 mile away) is not part of the stay. If you’re bringing outdoor gear, be aware that bicycles and motorized recreation (ATVs, snowmobiles, golf carts) are prohibited, as are firearms.
What guests say
Reviews highlight a peaceful, private wooded setting with beautiful views, sunsets, and wildlife sightings, with multiple quiet trails on the property. Guests consistently note cleanliness (including being bug-free) and a well-equipped interior that covers everyday needs, from the kitchen to comfortable bedding. Connectivity and comfort also stand out, with strong Wi‑Fi and effective heating/cooling mentioned alongside easy downtime like streaming. The stay is repeatedly framed as a good-value alternative to more crowded, pricier area lodging while still keeping destinations within driving reach.
