Beautiful area

Guests love this home’s scenic location.
One-bedroom cabin, one double bed, for those who want tranquility. Parking at the main house and then a short walk downhill, then a level rocky trail to the cabin, which is located at a stream and waterfalls.
There is a composting toilet, electricity and water. Wifi at main house, on deck, 5 mins walk. Wood burner in cabin, and propane stove in outside kitchen. A stand pipe (potable) or water from nearby stream (non-potable). There is a deck overlooking the stream with a picnic table.

The space
This is definitely for someone looking for privacy and tranquility, and a "back to nature" experience for a few days. It is a comfortable and peaceful place in the woods by a waterfall and brook. The cabin can be described as rustic.
No more than two guests.
There is a separate loft bedroom containing one (double) bed only, up some steep ladder-type steps. Agility and care are needed going and down the steps, not for someone with any physical impairment.
There is electric and a standpipe for water, a composting toilet but there is no shower at the cabin, just a sink and the stream to wash in. However, showers may be taken at the main house, after 9:00am and before 8:00pm. Due to other guests that might be in the house, also using the bathroom, only one person at a time in the bathroom.
No mobile signal or WiFi at the cabin, but again both signal and wifi are available at main house or on the deck at the main house.

Guest access
Parking is at the main house. A short walk through the woods to cabin. Do not take car to cabin as trail is rocky and full of tree roots, and turning is difficult.

Other things to note
There are precipitous drops in front of and around the cabin, and great caution is needed at all times. Please keep away from steep drops and waterfall edge.
Black bears have very occasionally been seen in the forests, and have caused no problems. However, food must not be left outside, or you will have some unwanted company!
There are many porcupines close-by in the woods. Bobcats and mountain lions have been seen though only rare sightings. The cabin is, after all, in their territory!
Please, no outside fires because of the great fire risk in the woods. A propane stove for cooking is provided, and there is a fire pit with chairs in an open area by the main house, only a short walk from the cabin.

Neighborhood highlights

Although the cabin is peaceful and isolated, there is a lot to do in the vicinity, including state parks, lake-side restaurants, inns and places of interest. Kayaks can be borrowed for the local lakes, to be used at guest's risk, owner not responsible. And the lanes are quiet and ideal for cycling (though great care must of course be taken).
