Thank you so much for the kind words! I’m so glad you enjoyed the quiet, peaceful atmosphere and that your dog loved having the space to wander. Bell Park is a great spot, and I’m happy you got to check it out! I’m also glad you were able to enjoy the covered porch — it’s one of my favorite places to relax and take in the surroundings. I truly appreciate your thoughtful comments about my hosting and would love to welcome you back anytime. 🐾✨
We had a very positive experience from booking til checkout! Michelle was very quick to respond to a couple of questions that I had, which was super helpful! We found the cabin to be clean, comfortable and well stocked! We loved the porch with propane fire pit! It was so peaceful and serene ! Just what we were looking for! The Christmas tree was a huge surprise and really added an extra special touch for the holidays! We thought the cabin decor to be very interesting and eclectic! It was also cozy and comfortable! We certainly plan on returning in the future!

We loved the homey secluded cabin feel but had all the modern amenities we needed and plenty of close fun outing. Didn't get to take advantage of the pool but would love to come back and try it. Dogs had plenty of space in the back yard to explore.

Felt very private even though there are other cabins in the neighborhood. Was super quiet and we had everything we needed to feel right at home. The pool was fantastic! It was so relaxing and peaceful. Just what we needed for a weekend get away. The beds were super comfy (the 2nd bedroom bed was really tall!), living area was open and the deck was perfect for hanging out. What a gem!!! Thank you so much for sharing your cabin!!

Great secluded location with great outdoor spaces.
Spent a long weekend with family for my grandsons graduation. It was a great spot to spend the time and be with family. Unique and fun pool, lots of outdoor areas.

I just want to start off by saying what a spectacular place. I read the bad reviews and some complaned about how the pictures were misleading and I want to correct that. It's a different season. If you want a heated pool you may be wanting a sauna. We don'thave them in southern states.. As to my experience, we drove to the cabin to celebrate our 42th wedding anniversary and even though we planned on taking a few road trips using the cabin as a headquarter lol. We couldn't see ourselves leaving the cabin. If it's relaxation and change of pace this is the place to be.

Thomas, thank you for spending the holiday at the Cliffhanger! So glad I was able to help with your questions. Looking forward to hosting your next stay with us.
Beautiful property and location, Very relaxing vacation
We thoroughly enjoyed our time here. We especially loved how beautiful the covered deck is, where we had most of our meals and played table-top games, and relaxed in the hammock. The pool was very clean and refreshing. The beds were very comfortable. We all enjoyed the jacuzzi tub, too! A rare treat :)

About the host
Hosted by Michelle
Why they chose this property
The Cliffhanger is in a special place. There are nice hiking trails around the cabin. In the spring the mountain laurel, flower all over the mountain, and the mica glistens like gold along the trails. Come back after a hike and cool off in the swimming pool, or take in the mountain fresh air from the deck. Take a nap in the hammock or relax with a book. It's very quiet and peaceful here.
What makes this property unique
Very quiet, sits back of the road surrounded by woods with view of mountain from covered deck. Huge wrap around porch even nice when it rains to sit outside with a book or just to take in the sights and sounds of nature. Area to walk your pet just behind the pool.
