Beautiful Property

This is our 2nd time renting from Delightful Retreats. This property was perfect for our outdoor children to go outside and kayak. The house was perfect for my mother-in-law and children. Everyone had enough space, and we were able to spread out to play Mahjong and to complete a puzzle. We enjoyed playing some of the games that are in the cabin, too. My husband loved the hot tub and the privacy that he felt. We enjoyed seeing all the deer around the house, too. Great place for the weekend!

Perfect couples getaway

Such a hidden gem tucked away in a secluded area right on the water. The home was set up perfectly with all the amenities. We stayed for 4 days and cooked and ate all our meals in the well set up kitchen. We woke up and used the coffee bar every morning and sat outside admiring the views of the water and all the wildlife from the comfy seats on the back porch. We will be staying here again it felt safe and clean and was tastefully decorated.

Relaxing weekend away!

We had the best time staying in this wonderful cabin. We were coming to town to drop our kids off at camp and needed a place to stay for the weekend. It checked all our boxes plus more! The hot tub on the back porch is heavenly and the chairs down by the water are a great place to sit and relax in. My kids loved taking the kayaks out and getting to fish. The cabin is very clean and well maintained and had everything we needed. We will definitely be back again!

Cabin was very nice. Bathrooms were very nice. Shower in one, tub in the other. Towels were enough for the 4 adults and a 12 year old. Kitchen was very good. The only thing was there wasn't a toaster. Went to DOLLAR GENERAL and picked one up. We had a great time visiting family. Wanted to try fishing in the pond, but it rained every day.

Big Blue cabin in the woods

This home is amazing. It’s beautifully appointed and super comfortable. We appreciated the cleanliness, well stocked kitchen and thoughtful design of the home. It’s a perfect, quiet place in the woods but also super close to both Mentone and Ft Payne. As always, Holly was helpful and kind during our stay. We can’t wait for our next visit.
