We used the hot tub and fire pit every night! We were not disappointed in our choice and would definitely come back! ##### Natalie D.

The property is very private ( unless the house next door is rented) which was not. The creek is wonderful, my 2 boys splashed and played in the creek for hours. The house was very clean, a little pollen dust outside on all the porches, but thats to be expected this time of year, we have the same where we are in Florida. The cabin has everything you need, fully stocked kitchen, bed linens, comfortable furniture, Wifi, hot tub, HUGE yard for kids to play. The host was very quick to respond after a few quick questions. We would definitely stay here again. Elijay was 2 minutes away with everything you could need. ##### Michael Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Ashley S.

The cottage was comfortable and had everything you could need. We tubed on the Cartecay River, that was an experience! It was exciting for 4 1/2 hours.

Clean, close to town, and kids had so much fun zip-lining everyday, and exploring the property. The bunk beds and jacuzzi were a big hit. Kayaking was wonderful! Not many places you get a personal drop off and have the river all to your self! My kids LOVED Blue- sweet, easy going dog. Thanks Jim and Mary Jo for making arrowhead necklaces with our kiddos, building us a fire while we were on our way back from dinner, making us feel at home and being wonderful hosts.

Jun 30, 2018 #### The perfect week away for our family! Our family spent 5 fun days in Jim and Mary Jo's cabin in the woods. The property was beyond anything we could have asked for. We have stayed in many VRBO/ AIR BnB homes and this one has to be our favorite! From the fully stocked cabin with comfy beds, to all the fun amenities for us to enjoy we barely left the property all week long! My kids loved the zip line (so did I lol) and club house. We spent most of our days outside enjoying the river, which was the perfect depth for small ones to play in! We even found arrowheads while playing! Jim and Mary Jo were so accommodating and helpful. Their home sits one the same property so if you need anything they are just seconds away! Thank you Jim and Mary Jo for creating such a relaxing retreat! We are leaving feeling refreshed and full of wonderful memories we made! We will be back! ##### Lori A. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2018 ### 4/10 Poor #### Taylor M. Jul 9, 2023 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Cleanliness #### Not for us After seeing all the wonderful reviews, I was really looking forward to this trip with my family. Unfortunately, the house was very dirty, filled with spiders and cobwebs throughout the house. In the shower, there was still hair shavings on the shelf from previous renters. There were also ants on the countertops and in the cabinets. The location of the cottage was nice, located right by the river with a big open backyard. However, if you are looking for privacy, this is not the place as the main house is about 50ish yards away, sharing the backyard and river access. We had a great time outside but the house was just extremely filthy. ##### Taylor M.
