Oct 11, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Super nice place. Full of amenities. Nice secluded location. Owners very easy to work with. Sadly hurricane Helene hit this area too, so lots of downed trees around cabin. Water pressure low. And sadly no easy way to walk to cabin. I don’t recommend for anyone over 55, at least until either steps up the hill or most needed, the driveway fixed. I got stuck several times. Still, for younger, a winning cabin ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6db488be-dc01-4e8c-b74c-c140e261a639-1760197417662.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/40ee2235-416b-406c-983e-35ce5580dde4-1760197416870.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ed9fb042-7826-48b1-8e86-d73df94cbc89-1760197419333.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9ed7c75d-fd8b-46ac-8e3e-27e8259a6ed0-1760197418415.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Me M.

Everything was clean and the Bally kitchen while smaller was very well equipped. We ran into some snafus with the heater and fireplace but the owner was able to get the heater quickly resolved and apologized about the fire place. We also had an issue with the hot tub which again she communicated with us and we were able to get it up and running to be use it our last day.
