I stayed here with my mom while visiting town, and we absolutely loved it! It was clean, cozy, and had plenty of space for the two of us. The location was quiet but still convenient to everything we needed. Would definitely stay here again!
We absolutely enjoyed our visit and love this beautiful cabin. It was a very relaxing comfortable stay. We already booked it again for our next visit in September. The host, Josh, was awesome! Can’t wait to return!
It was a perfect, cozy little stay. My only gripe is that unless you're taking military quick showers, you'll run out of hot water. It was absolutely not enough to ruin the place or make me not return if I was in town again. I enjoyed the stay!

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication
I liked that the property was very secluded and quiet the owner was very cool and was easy going I also loved the cabin feel for the property I was there for a weekend and enjoyed my stay the picture doesn't do any justice the inside is bigger than it looks
We stayed for two nights for Hillbilly Days in Pikeville. It was close to the activities yet kind of out by itself to get privacy. It was very clean and well maintained. It had a nice outdoor area for relaxing outside too. I had good communication from the host and he answered all of my questions. Would stay here again.
This is our second time staying here. Both times were great. Susan is very quick to respond to any questions. The lake offers good fishing, particularly for bass, and it leads to another large lake. Long Lake is massive and has a lot of wildlife on it. The cottage was very nice, clean, and up to date. Everything that was listed in the listing was provided and very accurate. We will be back in the future.
I had a wonderful stay at this beautiful, well-maintained, and quiet property, conveniently located near my workplace. I found it while searching for accommodations during some inclement weather. The hosts were incredibly gracious, providing thoughtful touches like farm-fresh eggs and real-time road condition updates. There's a lovely outdoor area I plan to enjoy when the weather improves. This has been, by far, the most accommodating rental I've ever experienced. I intend to stay here regularly throughout my contract. I highly recommend booking this property; you won't be disappointed.
