We had such a great stay, and our two dogs absolutely loved being able to go off leash, and Doug was so accommodating and friendly. The cabin was absolutely gorgeous, and very well kept! Will definitely stay again!

We wanted a quiet get away from home and the daily routines. This is the place as it was advertised. We enjoyed the inside as well as the outside. The inside had every thing we needed.The rustic furniture made it cozy. The outside has walking trails and one takes you to a nice little pond to fish in.We enjoyed our stay, it was just right for us. Thanks Doug for sharing it.

Birthday Weekend 2024
Had a great time ! The gueat house was perfect for a getaway from the hustke and bustle of life. The only drawback was the gravel road , 2 miles, you had to drive on to get to a grocery store unless you go way out . The prooerty is beautiful. The only thing id do dodferent is have an air fryer. That gives you an oven to go along with the 2 plate hot plate. We loved it and would love to go back. We saw turkeys, deer, all kinds of birds. Our rat terrier loved it too !

What a great place to call home for a couple days
We so enjoyed our stay here. After 2 busy days at Holiday World, it was beyond amazing to come back to a beautiful setting and amazing guest house with so much room, super nice furnishings, and grill and firepit outside. The nice walk to the beautiful lake in the woods early morning was a great way to wake up. Doug is an amazing nice guy to talk with and planning was so easy with him. He responds to any questions and has so much ready at the house already for a great stay. I cannot say enough good things about him and the guest house!

Doug was awesome! The property had probably the best bed we have slept in. He was thoughtful and had some protectors for the couches knowing we had a couple dogs with us. It was nice and quiet out at his place though we didn't get to explore because of family obligations. My car decided to die on us and he was so kind offering help and not mad about the circumstance of essentially checking out a hour late due to having to run into town and back for a new battery. We greatly appreciate his kindness and patience as I felt absolutely awful about my car. We strive to leave properties in the same condition we come into them and leave especially on time which I felt like we failed the second part! But as I said, Doug was very understanding and even offered help and tools from his shop. Thank you again for a wonderful stay!

Perfect little get away
My spouse and I really needed to get away from life/work but wanted to bring our dogs, and this was the perfect spot to disconnect. The property is beautiful and has a great trail to walk and it's only a few minutes from Lincoln State Park. Would love to go back when it's warmer weather. ☺️

Easy to coordinate with Doug. The place was spotless and very comfortable. Plus they thought of everything you might possible need — including a dog lead! We have AT&T and had good phone service. Highly recommend.

Comfortable Stay
We rented Doug's place kinda last minute for a one night stay in the middle of an emergency cross country road trip. Doug was wonderful to communicate with, very friendly and responsive. The unit was well cared for, clean, and comfortable. The only thing I feel that is important to mention that there was a Confederate flag hung on the property. As a North Eastern Hispanic family, its presence was unsettling. We understand that the flag for some is a symbol for states rights, but for others it is a symbol of racism. The flag isn't present in the photos posted online, so I just wanted to mention it so others are not taken by surprise upon their arrival. The property host, Doug, was friendly and kind and did not behave in any negative or racist way.

Great option for travel with dogs
I stayed 3 nights with my friend and two dogs and enjoyed the pond and acreage as well as the proximity to Lincoln State Park and the Lincoln's Boyhood Home museum. It is a beautiful setting! The grass was long around the yard, and the pond is down a hill, not directly adjacent to the cabin. Be prepared for mud if you linger at the sides of the pond - we took our kayaks and dogs down there and everyone got muddy getting in and out if you don't use the floating dock. The AC in the bedroom is noisy, so bring your earplugs and the kitchen/living room doesn't really get cooled by the AC in the bedroom and stays warm and humid. There is a firepit, charcoal grill, which had all the supplies, a 2 burner hotplate and a nice refrigerator and freezer. The kitchen is well equipped with all the tools and place settings for 4 people. Great option for an area that doesn't have many hotels for visitors and few options for travel with dogs! Two thumbs up and 8 paws up!
