Property was immaculate. The cabin was beautiful and cozy. View of the river was amazing. My husband and I were looking to get away for a few days just to refresh and recharge. This property was perfect for us. We enjoyed it so much and plan on booking again.

Wonderful place to stay. The peace and quiet cannot be overstated. The only thing I can truly say is….. I would rather stay at the cabin, than a hotel. We stay here 3 times a year, so that should tell you how much we like the place and it is pet friendly as well. Thank you.

The perfect place for a long weekend trip in East Tennessee. Magnolia Cabin is ideal for a couple and is dog friendly. The property is very peaceful and this cabin provides privacy from the main lodging area. Comfortable bed, well set up kitchen and the sound of the Wautaga River...a lovely stay.
