Waking up on my birthday and being able to see my family enjoying themselves at the trout pond catching fish and frogs and tadpoles made me smile.
My husband and kids had a blast fly fishing and all of us loved canoeing. I really liked that Bill and Sere opened their property to us and weren't worried about us mishandling the canoe or fly rods and just left us to it.
Sere was welcoming and showed us around the cabin to give us a mini tour and was attentive with our needs.
The cabin itself was clean and cozy. The futon mattresses were comfy for me and my husband. We slept good on the futon mattresses and the kids liked sleeping in the loft area. There was an a/c unit we turned on to cool the cabin down and we opened the windows at night to let in a nice breeze. We could hear the songs of crickets and frogs through the windows. It was wonderful not having any bright lights out side to shine through the windows. THE STARS ARE AMAZING there.
Everything was great besides the outhouse toilet. The toilet sucked. Its a mini-port 'o toilet. The bowl is not big enough to hold much waste and doesn't drain. It would be better with an in-ground outhouse but I am not sure if they could do that with the water table level on the property. Maybe, A barrel cistern that could be pumped out when full?
The cabin itself is on a nice setting, with the pond in front of the cabin and the swamp and woods behind. You can see Bill and Sere's home across the pond but no one was out in the yard during our stay and it's far enough away that it wouldn't matter for those people who'd rather be left alone.
Sere let me and my little girl take showers in the main house which was very nice of her.
This was our second airbnb stay for a Birthday present from my husband. It was a nice experience and I am glad we chose to stay here.
