Guest Comments:: We were looking for a quiet get away from New York City that wouldn't require a day of travel to get there and a day of travel on the return. We didn't imagine that after only a two-hour drive (we were blessed with almost no traffic), we'd find the beautiful place we discovered when we arrived. Everywhere we went we encountered friendly faces and folks who were delighted to offer assistance when we needed it. The best part of each day was returning to the peace of the cabin for a quiet meal, curling up with a book, or just watching the sun set through the slim tall trees from the front porch. We are looking forward to our next stay. Reg & Chris, August 2008 ***We had such a nice time at the cabin. Steve and I decided it was the perfect cabin (so comfortable, great kitchen, the wonderful loft!) We really had a hard time leaving the cabin to DO anything, didn’t even go out to dinner in the end. But that was just fine, since we DO all the time. Pam, October 2008

Guest Comments Con'td:: ***We have told all our friends here in Philly about your lovely cabin, and there is general interest in returning for a late winter getaway. Thanks again for the hospitality. We arrived late Friday night and lit the fireplace. There was about 6 inches of snow on the ground outside. My fiancé and I actually slept up in the loft just to get the best views of the morning light reflecting off the trees and snow. Saturday, we cooked a nice breakfast and waited for the third couple to arrive. Once they did, we hiked up the road to the Appalachian Trail, got a little lost, got found, saw the spring, got cold, came home, and started the epic night of board games. Yes, we walked up and found the swing. The view from up there is very nice! Sutter, November 2008***
