This was our second stay at Jim’s house. The location and views from the hot tub can’t be beat. The house is very clean, comfortable, and well stocked. I’m sure we’ll be back for a third stay soon!

Jim was an amazing host! We had a wonderful 5 day stay in a beautiful home that’s packed with so many extras. The location is great if you’re looking for a nice quiet getaway. Beds were more comfortable then our own and the kitchen was top of the line! The fireplace and hot tub were so relaxing. We will definitely be staying there again for sure.

This was a perfect place for our family of 4 (and dog!). The house was very comfortable with great views of the mountains. We appreciated the quiet location and easy access to Dolly Sods. We enjoyed all of the amenities to enjoy the indoor and outdoor spaces: fire pit, corn hole, fireplace, foosball , darts, and hot tub!

We really loved our time here. The hot tub and view were spectacular, and the kitchen had more than we would have needed. The rooms were comfortable, and the host was very responsive and helpful to offer suggestions for things to do. The property felt very private, and was part of a very quiet community. There’s plenty of wood outside by the fire pit for great fires in the evening as you enjoy the sunset after a day of hiking. Overall, I’d happily decide to stay there again.

We stayed 4 nights at Jim's wonderful property! It was secluded which we loved, we saw many many deer, a turkey and some Canadian Geese! The home is filled with so many historical items that were so interesting to see. The kitchen was amazing, great appliances, the pots & pans were great, which isn't always the case at a cabin in our experience. Jim was very responsive to any questions or concerns! We had an absolutely amazing stay and will definitely go again! The cabin is close proximity to all the nearby attractions which is always a plus!
