This is our 6th summer staying here. Our kids and grandkids join my husband and me. A very relaxing property, yet close enough to Seven Points beach area and Raystown Resort for the water park. We can’t say enough about how nice this place is! Hoping to go for many more years.

My wife and I had a wonderful stay here! The cabin is one of the cleanest places I've stayed in which was much appreciated. The amenities were all well functioning.

Our family enjoyed this property in so many ways. We like that it was pet friendly. The cottage was very clean decorated nicely and comfortable. The yard was just the right size for our small grandkids to play. And the fire pit was a favorite evening activity.

We absolutely loved our stay. The cottage was so clean which made us feel comfortable and at home. It was so peaceful and quiet. We had everything we needed and the property owner responded quickly when needed. We were truly impressed with all the little touches that made our stay feel like we we right at home. We will definitely be going back! 💕

This is the second time we’ve stayed in the cabin, this time was just as wonderful as the first. With two grown daughters it’s so nice to have a quiet place to get back to just being a family without the hustle and bustle that life throws at you. Fishing, hiking, and kayaking is so much fun, nights by the fire and lots of laughing.

We really loved the cabin and the area. The cabin was so accommodating with everything there we needed that we felt at home. We would definitely visit again if we're in the area. The cabin was beautiful! It was so peaceful sitting outside on the deck. The bird feeders attracted so many birds. Thank you! Dave & Joyce

This is the second time we stayed at Julie's cabin and it did not disappoint! As previous reviews note, this cabin is immaculate and has everything we needed for our boating adventures since it is only minutes away from the James Creek boat launch. We enjoyed our meals on the deck and fires and smores in the evenings around the fire pit. We accidently locked ourselves out one evening and Julie responded to our phone call immediately! We already have this cabin booked again in September with our friends from the DC area. Can't wait to come back!!

Beautiful well maintained cottage tucked away in the woods. Very private! Has everything you need.. If you want to escape this is the place. You can get to nearby shopping, if needed, within 15-30 minutes. Seven Points Marina is a 15 minute drive where you can rent pontoon boats and enjoy the day on the water.

This place is so magical! I stayed here with my husband, sister and her 4 kids over 4th of July weekend. There was plenty of space for all of us to feel comfortable, and Julie and her husband provided everything we needed to feel at home. I loved having my coffee on the porch in the morning while I listened to the birds chirp. The property is so private that I don’t think anyone could hear the kids’ little shrieks of joy and laughter while playing in the yard. I couldn’t ask for a better place to make memories with my nieces and nephews.
