“The cabin is a hunting themed cabin with lots of taxidermy displays. It is rustic and well appointed with kitchen necessities. Grill was a standout feature and the quality of the cast iron cookware. Bathrooms are very functional. Beds are adequate quality. The location was perfect for the sandhill crane migration with large flocks roosting on property along with wild turkeys.

Don’t take our word for it.

This was a perfect place to get some relaxation away from the city. We were there to see the cranes. They flew right over the house and we could hear them in the evenings. This is a hunting themed cabin, so expect to be surrounded by taxidermy. Nice big table to play games and do puzzles as well.

So many great things to share about this property! We fell in love with the rustic cabin ambiance. Plenty of games are available to play such as Mad Gab, cards, etc. The outside area is incredible! Private, peaceful, and full of nature. Loved taking a walk around the property and seeing some wildlife. Amazing pond with a super fun rope to swing into the water. We brought our dog and he loved chasing his ball into the pond. Wonderful fire pits and outdoor furniture. Fully stocked kitchen and cozy amenities. We truly loved this cabin and highly recommend.
