The rel deal get away

If you want a rustic, clean, beatiful cabin to get away, this is the place you want. You can sit on front porch and hear the water flow from the creek, I can't express in words how cool this place is, Awesome time there!

Cut short

Beautiful place. The land was incredible. The only thing is that it really isn’t a place for 75 & older. Too many small steps to each room. Bedroom upstairs & bathroom down stairs.

Perfect Getaway

This was just what we needed. It was nice to unplug for a few days and just enjoy our family with no distractions. The cabin was clean and comfortable. We made s’mores on the fire and cooked steaks on the grill. There is a lot of things to do within a short distance.

Natural Bridge Trip

We had a great time - enjoyed the quiet and the nature. saw a brand new fawn and enjoyed the sound of the rain of the roof. I think a hot tub would be great, but loved the soaking tub!

40th anniversary vacation.

This place was amazing! The cabin was in excellent shape and it was especially nice to find the kitchen REALLY fully equipped. This was especially important because there was no grocery or decent restaurants anywhere near here (which is what we expected) so we came with our own food for meals. The sound of the creek and the fire pit made the nights really nice.

Beautifully restored cabin in quiet relaxing setting

The cabin itself was beautifully restored, keeping the original character with updated amenities to make you comfortable. It had everything we needed for our family of 6. The land was so fun to explore, between the babbling creek, the morning deer grazing, fireflies at night; our whole family enjoyed it all. We spent a lot of time on that wrap around porch; watching the kids run around the yard, the rain fall, or just sipping coffee. It is also located close to the Safari Park & Natural Bridge.

Idyllic Getaway

Absolutely perfect stay. Everything is exactly as pictured. The bed is so comfortable, the shower and tub are divine. The creek is cool and refreshing. Bring firewood and charcoal, paper plates if you don't want a lot of dishes. Bring a good book and enjoy the view from the front porch. Lay under the stars. Relax. You are completely disconnected no service at all.

Off the grid perfection!

What a great family getaway! We enjoyed exploring the property, many hours at the bonfire, fishing in the streams, and morning coffee on the wraparound porch. The rustic cabin had all the essentials you could need and was a comfortable stay. We have four young children and it fit the bill great. We really enjoyed having no cell phone service. The satellite TV was nice to watch a movie one evening as a family otherwise we didn’t turn it on because we were outdoors all hours in the rain.

In Love!

We found this cabin and from pictures alone thought it would make a perfect location to stay and celebrate our anniversary! The pictures did not do it justice. This little cabin was absolutely gorgeous. We enjoyed the lack of cell service because it allowed us to unplug from the everyday! We loved it so much we plan to try and come back year after year! My husband and I were able to celebrate our 10th anniversary and the kids were able to have a blast playing outside!

Cabin Vibes

What a wonderful place to stay and relax! We had zero service the whole time and it was amazing! The exterior property is amazing and plenty of space to stretch out and enjoy sites and sounds from the wraparound porch. Interior is far larger than expected! So much character too! Comfy chairs, sofas, beds, pillows and a million blankets, my all time favorite! Tons of hiking trails near to the house! We didnt go to any local attractions as the purpose for me is to surround myself with the outdoors, but we have plans to check some out in the future! The kitchen is fully stocked, and the bath comes with a ton of towels! I noticed some reviews regarding the tub and the water temp. Easy! Fill it full with just hot water as it goes, and then add cold as needed. You can use the huge pot to boil some additional water as needed! It remained hot and we all enjoyed some tub time! Thank you for an amazing stay, we couldn't be more thankful!

Beautiful but no Wifi

The cabin is so beautiful very rustic and in very well conditions. You have everything for basic needs inside the cabin. Plenty of space and very organized. I really enjoy the time I spend in the cabin... the only downside I found is that was a bad odor when we enter ... seems like some couches or bed clothes needs to be replace.. I change all the bed clothes and put some ambient odors and fix the bad odor in the room. The other downside and very important is that there i no wifi signal at all... AT&T and Verizon does not work at all for call or text so there is mo say to get in comunicación with anybody unless you go back at least 7 miles away to a gas station where the phone start getting any signal... there is no phone inside the cabin either... so you are by yourself there.

We very much enjoyed our stay at this exceptionally restored log cabin. The kids loved splashing in the creek and smores over the fire. We watched the summer afternoon rains storms from the front porch while the kids giggled dancing in the rain. Would come again!!
