public range with pay what you can money box and is open most days all day.

If you, please dispose of your cigarette butt in the trash. This is a

beautiful area, please help us keep it this way.



Other things to note

We recommend you stop and get groceries before arriving to the cabin. Tammy's

Ice Cream and General store just 10 minutes away. They serve literally the

world's largest ice cream scoops; it is recommended to only get the small :).

Also at same location is a country store with gas, selling a mix of items,

from fishing equipment, laundry detergent, kitchen supplies, some food, etc.

They also serve great country food daily. Murphy and McCayesville are each

about 40 minutes away, so plan accordingly. There are bugs in the woods and

may get in the house if doors are left open. Be sure to have mosquito spray or

long clothing at night. Please don’t use canoes without signing waiver.

Great Family Stay

My friend, parents, sister, and her husband and 2 children stayed here during my wedding and found it to be great spot for all 3 generations! There was plenty of entertainment for weeks and also nice quiet places to tuck away. The driveway is serious! Bring good shoes and listen to the advice in the listing.

Nice little spot to put the canoes (provided) in and enjoy some lake time as well.Its a short hike down the trail and you’ll enjoy clear water and some good fishing.

Honest Review

This is the first time in my extensive experience with VRBO that I have felt compelled to lodge a complaint or request a refund. I believe it is imperative that this property be removed from the VRBO platform until the owner can provide evidence of proper maintenance and upkeep. The current state of the cabin presents both safety hazards and cleanliness issues that are unacceptable, especially at this price point. Do to character limitations I cannot provide a full review for this property. Steer clear.
