Summary: Lovely cabin type home on a quiet dead end road. The home is spacious with plenty of room for family in the open concept living area with cozy and comfortable bedrooms for privacy. The kitchen had everything we needed to prep and make our meals. Our family especially loved sitting around the table on the front porch sipping our morning coffee and watching all the birds. Especially the hummingbirds. We made use of the grill on the back patio and the screened in sitting area as well. Our dogs had plenty of room to roam in the fenced in backyard. Wish we had more time to explore the hiking trails and Shawnee National Forest. I made good use of the rocking chairs with my grandson though.
