A diamond in the rough
It’s hard to put into words what we experienced in the 1827 cabins. Bud and Kitty were spectacular hosts and I can’t say enough for the cabins and all the love that they have poured into renovating them while not removing their ample charm and history. From the logs and chinking, beams and creaky flooring, the scenic setting, the cabins and surrounding property could not help but to speak directly to your heart! It was hot but we still were drawn to sit outside in the weathered rockers, under the tin roofs and ceiling fans while sipping our beverages. We spent lots of time with the lizards, squirrels, gopher tortoises, blue herons and of course listening to the cicadas. The claw foot tub was perfect for a temped bath at the end of the hottest day. The simple kitchen setup was just enough for us to make some yummy meals and then sit at the weathered table that was stained with cup rings and wear and the old chairs , including one with Gov. Lawton Chiles seal on it. I wish this space could have spoke. I loved the minimalism of this adventure. It made you realize just how much we take for granted and do not really need. It takes you right back to when things were not so fast paced. We would love to take a trip back in the spring as the property boasts a large organic blueberry and pear orchard. We highly recommend taking a trip to and staying at this gem! Not one single regret on our part!
