Everything about this property was perfection. From the amazing views, the thoughtfulness of the amenities, the responsiveness when we had questions, to the location, we enjoyed all of it! This is the first place we have stayed where we extended our trip and can’t wait to go back. The house was fully stocked with everything you need. The hot tub was perfect for the few chilly days we had and the waterfall on the property makes us want to come back in the summer when we can go swimming. Thanks for the amazing stay!

This was a last-minute booking, and I’m so glad I did it. Everything about the cabin was awesome—the view, the rooms, and the pool table. My only regret was not renting it for a few more days. My wife and kids loved it, and my dogs had a blast as well. Thank you!

The cabin was perfect, exactly as described. Very comfortable beds, plenty of space for everyone, with a bedroom and bathroom on each of the 3 levels. Lots of community space as well with the bar area, pool table, and 2 living rooms. We loved the deck, porch swings, hammocks, and spent every night in the hot tub. The sound of the stream babbling out front was incredibly peaceful, and the sunset views over the lake were astounding. We loved taking the paddle boards and canoes out on the lake. The walk to the neighborhood waterfall was only about 5-7 minutes, with some additional trails for hiking beyond the waterfall. This cabin had everything we needed! The kitchen was very well stocked with every appliance you could need, we did lots of cooking! The stores were only about 15 minutes away, and had plenty of options for shopping, coffee, movies, restaurants, etc. No complaints at all, we would definitely stay here again! We came in a minivan and had no trouble getting to the cabin. The roads in the neighborhood are steep like any mountain neighborhood, but doable for any vehicle. We saw so many deer every day, they were not scared at all and would stay close as we walked or drove by. Such a great experience for the whole family!
