On the second story, a lofted space features a pool table that overlooks the living room, where you can enjoy a nice game of billiards inside. In the living room, sit back in front of the large flatscreen TV with DVD player or hop on the complimentary WiFi.
When you’re ready to explore the area, the beautiful Unicoi Lake and State Park is just two miles away for fishing, hiking, bird watching, and boating.

The cabin was great. Very private and relaxing. We really enjoyed it. Unfortunately, we left some bathing suits behind that could not be recovered or returned. Other than that minor hiccup we really enjoyed our stay.

Thank you so much for sharing your kind words about your stay at the cabin. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the privacy and relaxing atmosphere, it’s exactly what we hope every guest experiences. We're truly sorry to learn that some bathing suits were left behind and that we were unable to recover or return them. We understand how frustrating that can be, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We look forward to welcoming you back for another wonderful stay in the future.
The cabin was clean and stocked with most essentials. Everything was awesome and we definitely would like to stay here again. Conveniently located to surrounding attractions. Everyone loved it! Also everything was clearly labeled which was very helpful. The only question I had was trash related and was easily answered with a quick call.
Wonderful stay at the beautiful clean Buckhorn Cabin. Thank you for many kitchen supplies, a nice hot tub, pool table, etc. we plan to come back. Very relaxing

Enjoyed the cabin. Great location to enjoy Helen and the surrounding area !
Well kept and clean. Loved the cabin. The only issue was that an exterminator may be required due to insects and mouse in the kitchen.

However, we are very sorry to learn about the issues you experienced with insects and a mouse in the kitchen. This is certainly not the standard we strive to maintain. We will be sure to notify our local team right away so they can arrange for an exterminator to address this concern promptly. Your comfort and satisfaction are very important to us, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We hope to have the opportunity to host you again and provide a flawless experience.

Great get away
We had a great stay at this cabin. Very cozy and comfortable. The location was very nice in that it provided privacy in a great area but Helen and Unicoi State Park were so close.
