Quaint and Pleasant
We thoroughly enjoyed staying in this property. It’s semi-secluded yet close enough to get anywhere we wanted to go in 15-25 minutes. The cabin very comfortably accommodated the two of us. The shower is a nice size and living room seating was comfortable for two people. It’s so quiet at night! There are no street lights so if you arrive after dark, it’s a little tricky to find. Make sure you look at the images in Google maps so you can easily recognize the road to turn off. (Our GPS stopped working as we went up the mountain!) The guest contact was responsive and respectful and made the process very easy! We would definitely stay here again.

We’ve stayed in this cabin a few times before. It’s close to Bristol and the SoHo river. Great hiking paths, both flat and hilly close by. Sit on the porch and watch the deer.

Simple Get Away
Very nice and simple place to stay. Clean and cute inside. Only drawback is the beds. The mattresses in both rooms need to be replaced. If that’s done it would be pretty awesome.

THE BEST!!
This small cabin was absolutely perfect! The stove is amazing and the cabin came with a good supply of basic food items. Wi-Fi was good and our dogs enjoyed the large yard to run around in. I would definitely recommend staying in this cabin!

Nice Little Getaway
The cabin was perfect for what we wanted. Located about 10-15 minutes from nearest grocery, but away from the hustle noise. The Weir dam is two minutes away with a nice walking trail around Osceonta Island. The one possible drawback to either cabin is that they are very close to each other. if both cabins were rented, you might have neighbors right next door. Thankfully, we were there alone. Cleanliness got docked a star because the rugs were covered in dog hair, otherwise everything else was clean and anything you might need was there. Altogether a great place to reset and relax, while still being close to Bristol.

Great stay after a long day of traveling
My husband and I are moving to the area and needed a place to stay before we closed on our new home. We traveled for 12 hours and when we walked into the cabin, it was perfect. It is secluded. There was room for my dogs to stretch their legs. My husband and I both work remotely and we had no problems with the Wi-Fi. It was perfect. It was well stocked and we had everything we needed. The host was quick to respond with questions. I would definitely recommend this cabin if you are looking for peace and quiet.

Beautiful get a way
We enjoyed our stay in the cabin. It was quiet and clean with a huge area for dogs to run around. We were glad they could stay with us. There were massive amounts of gnats within the cabin, that would be the only complaint.
