This was a fantastic place for a small family. Great location near town. The creek in the community was nice to sit and listen too. The house had all the amenities you need for a relaxing stay with a location that was close enough to move about the area

Very nice cabin in small gated community. Dealing with Melissa was a nice experience - she is very understanding and thorough one of the better property managers I have dealt with. The cabin is on a bit of a steep incline after you pass through the gate. It has a long driveway so easy to turn around and driveout. The main floor is set up nicely as you enter cabin it has a huge the right has a couch and a reclining leather chair, nice dining room setup and nicely laid out kitchen. I must say that this is the most stocked cabin I have ever rented it had basically everything you need - shampoos - soap - spices - olive oil - aluminum foil and plastic wrap - coffee - sugar and plenty of utensils. There is a bedroom with queen bed on first floor which also has a door to go on porch to use a hot tub - only negatives I'll mention are that the Master suite is on the second floor - it has a nice king size bed a the good size - an odd design is when you enter the bedroom the door opens to the right and this is where the door to a small master bath is you have to close the bedroom door to go in the bathroom?? The other issue which is no fault to the cabin owner is that of barking dogs across the street to the entrance of the community - guess the guy is a bear hunter and has plott hounds who bark most of the day if you are sitting on the porch you may hear them over the sounds of the brook that runs through the property. So overall I would recommend the cabin if second floor master is no problem we are in our mid 70"s so it can be an issue.
The house was very clean and comfortable. The location for us was perfect. We had everything we needed.

As always this cabin did not disappoint! We love the location of this home and the ammenities they offer cannot be beat. Our children loved playing in the "hot pool" as they call it and I loved being able to relax a bit with the addition of the gate at the steps. See you next year!!
