Closet to Desoto Park

Great place to stay if you love nature (and we do)! Closet to Little River Canyon Park as well. The house has all you need. There is a Dollar General maybe 5 miles. You can pick up most anything you might need, (toothpaste, toothbrush, shampoo etc)

Great Cabin for families

We had a wonderful time at this amazing cabin. There was plenty of room for three generations to enjoy each other and the outdoors. This was our second visit and we will be back again.

Great location needing a better clean

Place was in a great location and very well appointed. We did enjoy our stay. It was not very clean though, food under the beds, BBQ grills were unusable due to rust, cobwebs in most corners and light fixtures, and the outside had trash around. The fridge had ice settled in the bottom and a pretty bad leak on the inside, should of been noticed prior to arrival. The sliding door to the hot tub deck was extremely tough to open and close, the grandparents needed help with it. Upside is the kids didn’t stand a chance in opening it. Really did love the rock features on the property though.
