Mom- me weekend
This cabin was awesome. We lived the history that was shared with photos.
The cabin was nestled far back in the woods, so much privacy.
We will definitely book this one again.
Thank you.

The place was great and clean and well stocked. However, the kitchen sink leaked all over the counter and the tub leaked into the bathroom floor.

Did the job.
The bed was comfortable, the water was hot and I liked being able to cook and store things in the fridge. Watch out for the forest friends in the attic, though.

Vintage look with modern convenience
Super sweet My one complaint was it had a below average height toilet—not good for tall, senior, weak kneed folks but doable.

Best vacation ever!
My husband took me away for a weekend here and he knew we needed to be out as far as we could get. And it worked perfectly! The house was amazing and the property was just beautiful! We had everything we needed plus and I was able to just read and relax all weekend.
It’s a quiet location and very cute. However some of the furniture could be replaced as in the bed and the couch. However it was very much needed to get away and unplug from time to time.
If you are looking for peace and quiet this is the place. Beautiful countryside and close to adventure. We had fireflies by night and bunnies in the morning. The small stream was peaceful, and the area is beautiful.
Nice and quiet stay. Had a water issue but the property manager offered a better place than where we were to compensate.

This is a true Rustic Cabin in the woods off a good dirt road that was very clean and had exactly what you needed. I was disappointed the wood burning stove didn’t work as that is why I chose this cabin.

Cozy cabin
Cozy cabin. Decorated nicely. Do make sure you get there before dark. The road leading in is difficult to navigate. If going before the gas heaters are turned on, your should bring a small electric heater.
We had a wonderful time on the property we met the owner. He was a very nice man and we he dealt with my husband for a while about service so he was happy but it was clean. It was beautiful and it was quiet. We really enjoyed our stay. We had a great time. We were close to the places where we could go in and see what we wanted to say. We were very very, happy with our choice

Owner needs to spend some money on this place
I understand that this is a old mountain cabin but there are certainly things that need to be addressed. The management company was great and did everything they could to help us out including trying to find a new place for us.
Very basic, rustic home. Large space, put together in a very choppy fashion. Place was clean, except floor did not appear swept or mopped recently. Also, I was not prepared for lack of central heat/air, heat was through a variety of electric heaters throughout cabin.
