What a great house!
We’ve visited the Davis/Thomas area for some spring break mountain biking. It was a great trip and our stay was a big reason. The house is extremely clean, comfortable, and very cozy, which we appreciated during the rainy/snowy weather. The kitchen was extremely well appointed. We got a lot of use out of the hot tub! Jim was very responsive with any question we had; his house is definitely on our short list for our next trip to Tucker County!

Always enjoyable time at Jim’s cabin. Hiking to Dolly Sods and all that the area has to offer once out and about to explore fills up any time spent here. Blackwater Falls State Park is gorgeous and Timberline Mntn is a great spot for hitting the slopes. Jim’s cabin is fully stocked with all your needs to stay in for meals and comfort.. Sharp knives, Calphalon pots/pans end microplane accessories, fridge with ice/water make kitchen top notch. BEST Integera home sound system on the East Coast and comfy beds, hot tub ALL make this cabin prime. Jim is great in communication and we appreciate him sharing his cabin. Again.
