This was our 4th stay since 2021 and it was wonderful as always. Everything is clean and the kitchen is well stocked with pots, pans, etc. The sunsets are gorgeous from the porch. Mike and Inola Mae are amazing hosts. Our kids (now 12 and 14) love it and this is where they want to go when we plan a mountain weekend.

We had a wonderful stay. Our host was such a joy to have nearby, and his sweet dog Enola Mae made the experience even better. He helped us out on very short notice and welcomed us like old friends. Truly grateful for the hospitality.
