Great little cabin!

We had an awesome time at this cabin. Right next to a beautiful creek. We had a great time walking up and down with the dogs. They were able to run around & roam off leash. Very cozy cabin with amazing hot tub.

5 star cabin

We enjoyed our stay. Very quiet despite having a guest in the cabin next to us. The lake was refreshing. Our french bull dog loved runnibg around and wanted to be outside every second. Theres a dollar general 6 min away. Bith trisha and jon were a delight with a wealth of life experience to share. Looking for quiet camp/cabin style experience be prepared to enjoy your stay at trisha and jon red cloud cabin. With a jacuzzi

Peace & Quiet

Overall, we did enjoy our stay in this cute little cabin. It was nice & clean inside and the kitchen was stocked very well. The outside grounds were disappointing. The area around the cabin was very overgrown. We had to move the picnic table to an area where the weeds were not so bad. We went fishing quite a bit but it was difficult to walk down to the water. If they would spend some money fixing up the grounds including steps or a handrail leading down to the creekside, they would see a lot more revenue from this property. So peaceful to just sit on the front porch and watch the deer in the morning. All you hear are the birds singing and an occasional peacock in the distance. No traffic noise whatsoever. Lots of peace & quiet! Just needs some TLC outside!

This place was way cool, it was one of the coziest places we have stayed at yet.

This was a great home away from home with all the extra's. Deer everywhere, such a beautiful sight as well as the fish you could literally see through the water and to top it off the hot tub in the evening was super relaxing. We will definitely be back. Oh almost forgot, the owners were super friendly and was there to assist if we had any issues. You will love this place ❤️

A blissful weekend away

We had a lovely time on our stay. Perfect private spot to relax, away from the city....natural beauty, wildlife, birds, right beside a beautiful creek. And, if interested in moving around and sightseeing, it's right in the middle of beautiful country-side with rolling hills and great views. Highly recommended.
