About this property

Elegant cabin in the woods. 3 story log cabin nestled at the end of a 500 yard driveway through the woods on a hill over looking a beautiful spring fed fishing pond. Enjoy the ambiance of an abundance of wild life from both the front and two raised large back decks. Take advantage of 60 acres of land with 3 ponds. Hike through the woods and open fields. Relish in the tranquility of feeling like you are away from all civilization, but less than a mile from local restaurants, stores, and medical centers.

You are in the country so expect so.

Spring break

Our family had a great time kayaking and fishing on the property. The house had lots of room and everything we needed. We loved sitting on the porch at the end of the day to watch the sunset. Thanks for a great stay!

Review of Dove Ranch

We were very disappointed in this property. Not as shown on pictures. Lock on gate was first issue. Should be told it's a clip and not a true lock and how to open it. There is a wasp issue. You have three active nests we saw and my grandson got stung by a live one in the room on the top floor. Room to the right. There were a few dead ones we found but a live one also on the floor he didn't see and stepped on and got stung. Another live one had to be killed. Needless to say I needed a five bedroom house and since after that no one wanted to sleep in that room it was not used. There were towels and linens left in the dryer that we ended up folding up. The deadbolt on the door downstairs only locks if you pull up on the door and was not easy to lock. Definitely couldn't do any kayaking or paddleboat since almost no water. Grass was very overgrown and the picture looked nothing like what's on the website. Rooms were okay but the wasp issue and the gate issue were definitely a turn off. We could see outside on some parts of the home so. Needs updated and some work done to it and I would suggest adding a hot tub for times when you have barely in water and can't kayak or paddleboat. Wasn't sure about hiking any of the property either as there were several trees down and like I said early lots of very tall not well taken care of grass and grounds. For the money paid will definitely not return to this rental.

Country log cabin

The house is great, with 3 floors for spreading out. Never felt our 8 people were in each other's way. Could use some newer pots and pans, but everything else was great.
