Had a couple very minor housekeeping things, cooking knives and such could be upgraded a little, we made what we had work which is why I said very minor. Pet friendly was important for us, and my fur babies had the best weekend ever! Took a hike on one of the trails behind the house, very relaxing! Good choice don’t hesitate to book here.

The house was clean and neat, the host always got right back with us if we had a question. When it said a view I was expecting to be looking off a mountain, but it’s just wooded. It’s still a beautiful place, we saw 3 deers the morning we were checking out, they were beautiful. It’s secluded which is nice. We had no trouble finding it. The garbage was a lil different for us, it would have been out of our way to drive 23 minutes or so to summerville to dump it, so we brought it home and threw it away in our garbage cans. But overall it’s a nice place to visit, but I think it needs a tv in the bedroom because I like to watch tv before I go to sleep

Our stay at the cabin was exactly what we needed. We had plenty of room and it was only about 45 minutes away from Rock City which was our main destination. For the price it was worth every penny and we enjoyed our stay immensely. We played games on the large family table, cooked breakfast and watched movies. We spent a day at Rock City and it was nice to come home to the cabin. My only complaint is that we wish there was another TV upstairs. Otherwise we were happy campers!

Everything others said about the furniture is accurate. And the coverings in the futon sofa need to be cleaned. There were zero check out instructions. No welcome. Just a little odd all the way around. Conveniently located and well stocked but not terribly clean kitchen items.

This was the perfect spot for our vacation with our dogs. It was clean, had a beautiful view of the forest around it, and the landscapers/cleaners even built up the firepit for us with logs, which we greatly appreciated. Pro tip, that crimson patterned recliner? You need to call that first when you get in. That's the most comfortable chair I've been in. Watching the sun rise and sun set through the windows was emaculate. I would've loved to have been there during snow, but well worth it outside of that. I love this little house.

We loved the cabin and the location. My only complaints would be the sleeping options. The living room needs more comfortable sofa. Maybe even a sleeper sofa. Futon upstairs is not a good sleeping option at all. We had to buy a foam pad and it still was not too comfortable. But would definitely stay here again and just know to bring extra pads.

About the host

Hosted by Rachel Neidich-Rook

Host profile image

Hailing from Texas and Tennessee we are honest, straightforward and fun couple. We have a passion for the outdoors and travelling. We know how to travel and we know what travellers want. Collectively we have traveled most of the Continental U.S. (most of that camping) while having visited 20 different countries we definitely want to help make your experience stress-free and fun.

Why they chose this property

We love Lookout Mountain and Menton. It is one of the most unique geographical areas in the south east. Our family are avid outdoor enthusiasts and we love the outdoor activities available in this area. There are great hiking, biking, and hunting activities right out the back door of the house.

What makes this property unique

We're right in the middle of it all! And guess what? it's a great price... heck, just because there's wallpaper in two of the bathrooms (still a work in progress) we will offer our house at a competitive price you can't pass up!
