Relaxing

We had a wonderful time enjoying this cabin with our family. My kids 10 and 7 LOVED the pool and hot tub along with the fact they had their own space to hang out and play in the basement. It was a very relaxing few days and was truly an oasis.

Family Getaway Celebration

The Empty Nest Cottage was absolutely perfect for our family weekend! We received a beautiful welcome basket to begin our stay, full of wonderful treats. The cabin is so well stocked with everything you could possibly need. The cabin was not only beautiful but so comfortable, welcoming and exceptionally clean! It is in a peaceful and quiet area which made our weekend even better! The homeowners guide and QR Youtube aids were more helpful than a hotel front desk! I had reached out with a couple of questions and received very prompt responses. You can just tell that the homeowners care not only for their home but for their guests as well! The Empty Nest Cottage deserves more than five stars!!!

About the host

Hosted by Shawana Lynn Smith

Thank you so much for deciding to stay at our home! We are empty nesters who wanted a place to relax and enjoy what life has to offer. Nestled in the mountains just seemed like the perfect place to relax and enjoy what Mother Nature has to offer. A good book, a warm fire, what else could you possibly ask for. We love spending time with our children, and we are both avid fishing enthusiasts. We love this area and we hope you will love it just as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

We love the opportunity to get away from everything with complete privacy and 27 acres allows for just that. He enjoys the wilderness while I enjoy the comforts of a resort setting.
