Several small trails wind through the property, each offering its own special retreat. One path leads to a serene clearing surrounded by hemlock and tall pine trees, where a simple bench invites meditation or forest bathing, letting you fully immerse yourself in the sights, sounds, and scents of the forest. Another trail takes you to the community water access, perfect for swimming, floating in tubes, or fishing, with two kayaks available in the shed and a picnic table nearby. For avid hikers, the Tuscarora Trail is accessible right from the front door—a rare opportunity to connect to a vast trail system. A map in the entryway makes it easy to find the trailhead and explore the surrounding wilderness.
We’re dog-friendly and welcome up to two house-trained dogs during your stay. No cats, unfortunately (we’re allergic).
For your awareness, the property includes a studio located approximately 250 feet from the cabin. It’s clearly marked with a “Studio” sign, and you’ll pass it on the way to Spoon’s Rest. The studio is used occasionally by the owners, who may be on-site during part of your stay — though they are rarely present and the studio is not visible from the cabin, ensuring you’ll still enjoy privacy and seclusion. They may also have their small, friendly dogs with them when visiting.
We’d love for you to leave a note in the guest book provided—reading your thoughts and memories is one of our favorite parts of visiting!
