Gorgeous house and property, generous host
We loved our weekend at Whimsy in the Woods. I could have spent the entire time gazing out the floor-to-ceiling windows at the woods, birds, and deer. The house was so well stocked - with k-cups, coffee, tea, spices, toiletries, kitchen spray, trash bags, everything you could think of - and our host added some extra special touches like leaving us the makings of s’mores. The hot tub was lovely, the fireplaces super cozy, and the loft was perfect for the kids.

Perfect Christmas Cabin
5 Adults were comfortably ensconced in this beautifully appointed and artistically decorated cabin over the Xmas holiday. We had so much fun! We puzzled and played games and baked and hot tubbed 2x a day. It was so relaxing! We only left once - but we didn’t want to! The cabin had so many towels and lovely robes-very cozy!

Expect the unexpected
We booked this property expecting it to look and feel as advertised: A cozy, artistically inclined, funky little cabin tucked away in the woods. What we did not expect was the incredible attention to detail, the extreme level of cleanliness, and the abundance of amenities that greeted us like an old friend when we first walked in after a long drive. It was immediately clear to us that the owners poured every ounce of love they could into the decor and atmosphere, making my family and I feel welcome. We were mesmerized by all of the beautiful artwork and custom details, and my kids loved going around trying to find all of the carefully hidden details, which were plentiful!
Whimsy in the woods is a truly magical place you don’t want to miss!

Great Place For the Whole Family
Everything was as described...very cool art...every time I looked around, I saw something different!
The only thing that would be nice is to make both of the main floor rooms the "queen or king bed" rooms and make the basement a bunk room for the kids....having 6 staying on the main floor and loft caused 6 of us sharing the one bathroom on the main floor and the couple staying downstairs had their own bathroom....but got constantly interupted when the kids wanted to go to the game room area or outside. I owned a STR where I had two twin over full bunk beds, we called the "bunkroom" that had its own onsuite bathroom....we always got high reviews with comments on how great it was that the kids had their own space! It sitll all worked out and we all had a great time and loved the place! Location was great because it was close to family as well as the activities we had planned.

Whimsical and cozy!
My family and I recently had the pleasure of staying at this charming cabin, and it was an absolutely delightful experience. From the moment I arrived, I felt enveloped in a warm, inviting atmosphere that made me feel right at home.
The cabin itself is cozy and artistically designed, combining charm with modern amenities. The living area is cozy, with comfortable furniture and a lovely fireplace that made for perfect evenings of relaxation. The kitchen was fully equipped, allowing us to prepare our meals with ease.
One of the highlights was the peaceful, scenic location. Nestled in the woods, the cabin provided a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. We enjoyed morning coffee on the porch, surrounded by the sounds of nature.
Our host was incredibly accommodating and attentive, ensuring that every detail was perfect for our stay. Their local recommendations were spot-on and helped us make the most of our time in the area.
Overall, this cozy cabin exceeded all of our expectations. It's the perfect retreat for anyone looking to unwind and reconnect with nature. Book this cabin, you won’t regret it!

A gem in the woods
This home is beautiful. My daughter and I took a four day art class in nearby Campbelltown. We loved returning in the evenings to relax; eat our dinner on the cozy porch and to end the day we thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub!!

An absolute dream!
From start to finish our host has been welcoming, attentive, and helpful, I can’t say enough about her! We had an amazing time in the house and it is the perfect spot for pretty much every occasion. It’s everything we asked for and more and will definitely be back again! Decor was adorable, furniture was comfy, the house had everything we needed! Definitely an experience we’ll never forget!

Perfect stay!
We had a wonderful stay at this property! Jess was communicative, attentive, and helpful. The house is better stocked than any rental I’ve ever stayed at—toiletries, condiments, coffee, tea, water bottles, kids’ toys & books, adult toys & books, postcards to send, nightlights, sound machines, towels (even robes!), marshmallow sticks, an adorable s’mores kit—seriously, they’ve thought of everything. The hot tub is huge, the view is beautiful, the property is immaculate, the location is unbeatable. Beds were comfy, water was hot, kitchen was well-appointed. I can’t say a bad word about it. I was worried about the balcony railing with my 17-month old, so Jess send photos and dimensions of the stairwell opening so I could bring tension baby gates. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Just PERFECT
I will not be able to say enough good things in this review about this place. It’s a dream. The functionality of the rooms, bathrooms and gathering spaces was perfect for our family and friends trip. It has everything you need and then some. Plenty of towels and bedding, toiletries, night lights for the kids, sound machines, books (for young and old) games and puzzles… And the extras! A fantastically relaxing and luxurious hot tub, natural gas, easy to light outdoor fire pit and game room with arcade games added to the already great space. And, on top of all that, it was the cleanest place I’ve ever stayed. You NEED to book a stay here!
