My husband and I and our 2 children (late 20’s) and their spouses enjoyed hot tub time, meals, games and hiking! The view from the cabin is so great - better than any hike! Families with little kids need to be careful with stairs - but we don’t have any little ones yet. Host was awesome, very informative & attentive.

The cabin was mostly private and the views did not disappoint. The view from the deck was outstanding. We could hear the neighbors when they were on their back deck and also smell their cigarette smoke but both of those were fine overall and didn’t impact our stay. Cleanliness of kitchen utensils and blackstone was lacking however. The king bed upstairs was also in need of an upgrade in our opinion. Guest instruction binder was also outdated and we found ourselves going back and forth in Vrbo app and binder to find the correct information (WiFi password for example was incorrect in the binder but correct in the app). Overall we enjoyed our stay and can see ourselves returning in the future.

All of the great reviews of this property are correct. It is well managed, very "homey" and the views are stunning! My wife and I were celebrating our 42nd wedding anniversary and loved the hot tub with a couple of glasses of wine each night. The surrounding countryside is gorgeous. I had a little problem with the wi-fi and the host quickly and graciously set me on the right path. We would love to stay there again.

Absolutely stunning property! Wonderful amenities, very spacious and views from back deck are the best. Very easy to access, being only a few minutes from town, but once on the mountain, it's as if the world melts away! Easy to get to the trailhead for hikes. Alan was an amazing host, quickly answering any questions that we sent to him, and stocking the home with everything that we would need for a wonderful week. We will definiteily return!

Perfect view

We weren't able to be at the home much as we had many events scheduled. However, it is perfectly lovely and exactly as described. I wish I had had more time to spend on the porch overlooking the mountains...the view is breathtaking. Alan was an extremely responsive host if we needed anything so I would certainly recommend this home. (I would recommend a vehicle capable of mountain road travel for some of the hills.)

Great Getaway

First, this property / setting is amazing. Nestled on a hill overlooking a beautiful valley with great views, the description of the cabin was spot on. The cabin itself was spacious with a comfortable porch for lounging. The hot tub and griddle were nice additions for hanging out at the cabin. Our host was attentive and available for questions which we appreciated. Another nice thing about this property was being able to bring our Cane Corso - it was her first long road trip (from Sarasota) and she absolutely loved the mountain hiking trails and the cabin porch. I definitely will book this property again with the only (minor) concern being the long drive from FL.
