Had a great time at this cabin. We had a few questions prior to check in and the owner was quick to respond. Loved the treehouse but wasn’t able to spend enough time in it due to being on the lake all day. Will stay here again.

Great Family Vacation

We invited our grown children to join our family vacation. They spent the days working remotely from the house while we took our younger two out exploring the area during the day. We all reconvened in the evenings by enjoying suppers together and hanging out as a family in the treehouse having great conversations well into the night. It was peaceful and wonderful. The hosts were super communicative over minor issue and worked quickly with us to resolve it. I definitely recommend staying here in this peaceful and quiet setting.

We’ve stayed at this property in the past and it’s still a hit. It is clean and well maintained. The tree house and top loft is always a favorite! Meredith is friendly and communicates everything you need while still being assessable. We’re be back soon!

Great place to stay while fishing lake Pickwick.

The place was clean, nice and perfectly located for what we wanted. There was a load of towels in the washing machine that had mildewed, but we washed and put up. Other than that, the experience was great and will stay again if we are ever in the area.

A few minutes from Shiloh

This is the first time ever reserving a home online. I had reservations (not sure) but hoping like heck it wasn't a scam. This has been a very positive experience, there are other dates I need to get homes reserved for and I'm sticking with Vrbo.!! Totally!. The house worked well and the only question we had regarding an item was answered by our host in a quick fashion and fixed to our satisfaction.almost immediately. I wouldn't hesitate to give 4+ rating.

Just what the doctor ordered

My family and I needed a getaway and this property was perfect. It was clean and had everything you needed stocked. If you need anything it’s close to a store and grocery. It was spacious and exactly as pictured. The only down side was I wished I would’ve booked more time. I didn’t want to leave however I will be back!

About the host

Hosted by Meridith Perry

Host profile image
My husband and I love outdoor adventures, especially the water and the mountains, which is why we chose places in Pickwick, Tennessee and Montrose, Colorado.

Lake Life - Idle Speed
vrbo.com/170278
As a Memphis native, Pickwick Lake has been a big part of my life. I've spent many a weekend on the water over the last 20 years tubing, wake boarding and tying in. I love this lake and the people and I think you will too!

Moutain Life - Mesa Vista Ranch
vrbo.com/2514548
After visiting Montrose, we fell in love with all the Western Slope has to offer. We decided to remodel a small Colorado ranch with a rich history and fabulous views. The surrounding area has enchanted us and I hope it does you too!

Cheers & Safe Travels!
