About this cabin

Fern Glen is our most secluded cabin — a studio retreat nestled deep among the trees, with a king-size bed, a cozy family room, and a fully equipped kitchen. Designed for two adults who want to truly unwind, it offers the kind of privacy that's genuinely rare.

The signature feature is the distinctive hot tub and fire-pit enclave on the multi-level decks, creating an outdoor living space unlike any other on the property. A charming front porch swing invites you to slow down and listen to the forest. From these perches, you'll spot deer, wild turkey, red foxes, pileated woodpeckers, and migrating waterfowl as part of everyday life here. Lucky guests may even catch a glimpse of "Fraidy," the resident bobcat.

Fern Glen is also one of our dog-friendly cabins — bring your four-legged companion along to explore the wooded trails and fields across the 44-acre property. The full kitchen, smart TV, and fireplace mean you have every comfort you need for a long, unhurried stay.
