The cabin was in a peaceful, secluded location. We enjoyed the sound of the nearby stream trickling at night while we sat on the porch enjoying the cool night air. Carol kept the cabin clean and well organized. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend staying there to our friends.

Stay at the cabin

The property was everything it claimed to be. Had a great stay. Location was great and t-mobile worked at the house. If you take your pets be careful to check them for ticks. The while mountains are known for having them.

Our favorite place

This was our second summer spending a week at the cabin. We just love it! There is so much to do in the area and the cabin itself has everything we need to enjoy our time. How quickly it has felt like our home away from home.

Relaxing Spring Getaway

A really lovely spring getaway with some girlfriends and our dogs. The log cabin was very spacious and perfect to cook, hang out and just enjoy the surroundings and listen to the stream across the road. Location is great with nearby attractions and just serenity all around the cabin. We would love to come back!

What makes this property unique

This is a true log cabin home, built almost 60 years ago by the owner. Heating systems (and now a new drilled well) have been upgraded over the years. The setting on the side of a hill with a stream across the road and a magnificent view have remained favorites with guests.
