This beautiful cabin, lovingly named "The Empty Nest," is a historic 1800s cabin situated on land with three natural ponds.

The views from this not-so-quaint cottage are to die for. Rain or shine, there's something about this place that's simply magical.

During summer months, fall asleep to the sounds of bullfrogs and tree frogs. During winter, experience the property as a stunning, snowy wonderland and curl up beside a nice, warm fire.
Spend your entire day on any one of the three ponds on the property; they're all-natural, and stay crisp and clear at all times.

Paddle around in a canoe or fish from the shore. There are several varieties of fish here, including catfish, rainbow trout, and bass. The fishing is always good.
Once you've had your fill of the insanely beautiful natural world right outside your door, settle into the warm, welcoming living area for a movie or game night.
