A Must Stay!
Sweet Fern Cabin
Sweet Fern Cabin was the perfect retreat. It was a beautiful mix of outdoors and coziness. A great place for bird watching and relaxing. The outdoor fire pit is a dream! It’s right on a hill next to the water and made for one of the most beautiful campfires I’ve experienced. Overall a fantastic stay, I will definitely be going back!
