4 nights at Cabin by the Pond

This place is a little slice of Heaven! Cute and quaint cabin, with a spacious loft and homey feel. There were a ton of great hiking spots with beautiful views on these 40 acres. My German Shepherd enjoyed swimming in the pond, artistically lined with cattails and full of friendly fish. The other pond was a bit overgrown, but still a sight to see. The night sky is perfect for star gazing, away from city lights. “Cabin by the Pond” is definitely a great place to go to escape the business of life!

Weekend Trip to Cabin by the Pond

Cabin by the Pond was a really nice place. Michele was very accessible and was a pleasure to deal with. If you like to fish…. The pond closest to the cabin was full of Bluegill and a few Black Bass. We never tried the second pond as it was difficult to reach due to overgrown reeds. All in all, we would definitely return and recommend!!

My family and I had a wonderful time at the cabin. We fished at the ponds multiple times a day. My dogs were able to run free and enjoy nature. One of the best experiences we have had and we did not even deep dive everything. Michele was very responsive and helpful if we needed anything. Would love to come back!

Weekend Trip to Shiloh Ranch Guesthouse

Sandee’s guesthouse at Shiloh Ranch was an amazing weekend getaway from the city. The upstairs was perfect for our teenage son and his friend to watch movies, play guitar, and just enjoy downtime. There was also plenty of space for them to explore the property and toss a football around. The guesthouse had everything we needed to cook meals inside or out on the grill. The location was beautiful and not a long drive from the Petrified Forest!
