Beautiful cabin with plenty of space and amenities. The hot tub was great to have to soak in after long days. Beds were very comfortable, bathrooms were clean and the space felt very much like a home away from home. Home is tucked back up in the woods a bit but still not hard to find.

We loved our stay at the Stemwinder! You can not beat the location. It is a beautiful home, very clean, well stocked kitchen and nestled in wonderful development.

If we are ever back in the area we would definitely stay here again!
