LIVING ROOM
The living room is so cozy you don't want to leave. Look over the wall to wall bookshelves with a focus on nature, gardening and living off the land. Get out the games and puzzles and take over the dining table. Cuddle up by the wood burning stove. Wonder what it was like to live here long ago.

Once you step off the porch, you have roughly 60 acres of woods to explore with walking trails by the creek, by the pond and to the river. Fishing allowed in both places. There is a rustic, outdoor shelter by the pond with a large fire pit and picnic tables. There is an old tool workshop overlooking the pond.

Summary: The Portico Cabin and property was an absolute delight! Lee and Amy were amazing hosts. The communication was excellent, the cabin was very clean and well appointed with everything we needed. The decor was a cozy vibe and very welcoming. Lee gave us the history of the cabin and area which was much appreciated. The cabin tucked us into nature and was very serene. I highly recommend the Portico Cabin and will absolutely be returning for another relaxing stay. Thank you!
