Kathi was awesome! Very kind. Believe her when she says you will have no signal. There will be no signal. Everything was beautiful! Be careful driving up to Love Shack the drive way is pretty steep. We will probably plan for another trip in the future. Thank you so much!

Further away from the nearest town than I understood. Outdoor shower was hot and enjoyable even with the understandable low water pressure. Cabin was simple and really cool. Only suggestion there would be to get some new pillow coverings. The old tassle/fringe pillow cases just don't seem like something that would clean well. Yes I would stay there again.

Cute little stay up in the mountains, not much connection, but that was fine for me and my girlfriend, the goats were a blast and have a great personality. The owner and the owner's son were very responsive and kind. Has a great view of the mountains and a wonderful drive up there.

Unable to access the property due to dirt road grade with zero gravel. Promised WiFi was unaccessible. Zero cell signal and was unable to resolve issues. Requesting refund. We drove through the night back home rather than stay where we felt unsafe

If guests read the description and the check in instructions thos would have never happened. Prior to a guest checking in they are given precise information and we tell every guest to screen shot the directions and check in instructions as there is zero service around the mountain until you log into the wifi. If this guest would have followed the instructions this wouldn't have been a problem. We also specifically tell guests about the drive up and suggest they park in front of the big cabin if they drive a low profile vehicle. This is a cabin in the woods in the mountains. We also saw the guest make it perfectly fine to the cabin and then drive down so for them to say they couldn't access it isn't true.

We were well informed with instructions on how to find it and we enjoyed our stay. It was cute and cozy . We basically were only there in the evening and to sleep but it is in a great area as long as you don’t mind being off grid!
Beware of this beast!! It definitely puts out heat! I’m a sleep cold girl so we had to open the door a few times!! It made my husband happy though!!

The drive up to the cabin definitely required 4WD. The views and the quiet are breathtaking and refreshing. The inside is cozy and romantic. Lounging on the deck helps to melt away the week's stress and rejuvenate your soul.

Magical retreat!

We fell in love with this little gem tucked into the side of a mountain. We enjoyed hiking and exploring the property, watching the sunrise and set, and the peacefulness of just being. You won't be disappointed!

The cutest furry 4-legged creature came over & greeted us when we got there. It was so relaxing! The shower was hot… there were games for us to play. We hiked a bit. I highly recommend and can’t wait to go back!We just had to go buy charcoal, lighter fluid and firewood. Also glad I brought my travel fan.

Good get away space

This cabin was really cute. It was perfect for a getaway with my mom. It’s super close to Boone and the only thing we had to complain about was the lack of service. We couldn’t let our family know we made it. I think giving a WiFi option would make this place so much better.

Hi Page! Thanks for your feedback. We actually put a public porch down by the A-frame cabin which has wifi available for all guests to use. I'm sorry I forgot to mention that. You could have also just walked down to the big cabin and my frind Daniel would have put you on ours. Thanks so much for staying with us. I hope the lack of wifi wasn't a huge problem for you.

Off grid

Easy communication with host. Must have actual 4x4 if you want to park outside of cabin. Bring everything you would need as if you were tent camping, just minus the tent.
