We really enjoyed relaxing here and the paddle boat was a huge bonus. We found a little beach spot across the lake and met a lot of the locals at this spot which was nice.

2 nights at 40 Acre Woods at 29&1 Private Venue

We had a great girls' weekend at Sarah's cabin. She and Mike were wonderful and welcoming hosts. We didn't need to ask them for anything, but they were accessible if we did. The cabin was clean and cozy with many thoughtful touches. It is tucked in a pine forest and feels very secluded. It was also great having the trails to hike on. Would stay here again!

Weekend Trip to 40 Acre Woods at 29&1 Private Venue

We had a truly magical stay at this private cabin nestled among tall trees — it felt like stepping into a different world as we walked through the “secret path” to get there. The location was incredibly peaceful, quiet, and serene — the perfect escape from everyday noise. The cabin itself was spotless, cozy, and super comfortable — we slept like babies! Sarah was an amazing host — very responsive and thoughtful throughout. She quickly helped us with firewood and water, and was always just a message away for any questions. It was a solid 10/10 experience and we’d absolutely recommend this stay to anyone looking for a quiet, nature-filled getaway.

My partner and I loved our stay at the little cabin in the woods. It was a perfect base-camp for our 3 day weekend getaway from the city. Sarah was an amazing host and we highly recommend booking a stay here.
