Peaceful getaway..

Place One, in the woods

Billy's place and land is the epitome of a quiet, rustic getaway. The host himself is communicative and thorough. It's clear he cares about his property, and about my time out there. Billy explains the cabin and setup perfectly. Like camping, with four walls and roof. You have all you need there. If you want glamping, this isn't it. If you want a real, genuine outdoor experience in a serene peaceful environment, this is it. Billy's place provides just enough comfort to truly enjoy being in the quiet. The highlight of the area for me were the trails. Long trails in two directions, really nice if you want solitude and a few hours walking in the pines with the sounds of the animals. I look forward to heading back in the near future... Thanks Billy

Cozy well equipped cabin

Place One, in the woods

I had a wonderful stay at this cozy cabin in the woods. The host was incredibly kind and attentive, even checking in during my stay to make sure everything was comfortable. The cabin is very clean, spacious, and well-equipped—with a fire pit, picnic table, three beds, and an outhouse. Despite the temperature dropping to 29°F one night, I stayed warm and comfortable in the dry cabin without needing the propane heater provided. I traveled with two small dogs and felt completely safe. Cooking on-site and having a fire was easy—the host even provided wood, flashlights, complimentary candy, a broom, and a vacuum. The solar panels provided good lighting, and communication was prompt and helpful. Everything exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a peaceful, well-prepared getaway.

Place One, in the woods

I would highly recommend the cottage! If you are looking for a rustic type spot and your own place without dealing with other people around, this is the place!! The owner is very kind and accommodating. He had firewood for us, bottled water and brought a canopy/pavillion over because it was raining. Very friendly!! It is set back in the woods and the cabin was very clean. It has a picnic table and cute little fire pit area as well as a open top charcoal grill. We got to see deer and hear the amazing sounds of the wildlife. Had an amazing time, thank you Billy’s Place cabin #1 😁

Place One, in the woods

I loved the spot. Exactly as the description states: essentially a tent with elevated beds. Kept us dry through a weekend of rain. The host was very pleasant and accommodating.
