Awesome cabin in the woods

This was a simply beautiful rustic cabin set in a serene wooded area. It had all the amenities one would desire and the location was perfect. Near several small towns so you could have fun and a great meal.

Beautiful Area

The cabin was just big enough for the two of us and the property was beautiful we manage to see 3 deer eating. We also went into Murphy and had lunch at Burger Boy. They had the best burgers, fries and onion rings.

Nice cabin

Cabin was very nice, communications with owner were delayed and could have been better. Expected a real fireplace instead we had a heater and some lights. I will ask more detailed questions next time we look for a place. Cabin was good for a place to stay in the area, no views of the mountains or nearby walks, lots of private property signs all around. Enjoyed the deer in the morning and evening.

Cozy Cabin

Nice and peaceful with the sound of the fire and the view is multiple deers close by. The Cabin was very comfortable and with a lot of character. My daughter loved playing with the clay and the loft as her bedroom. Close enough to visit Georgia and Tennessee. The Doolittle’s

Home away from home

This cabin was beautiful! My family loved it. Our ultimate goal was to be able to see some deer on the property and the first morning we got to see 8! The home itself looks small in the outside but once you walk in the high ceiling just captive you. There was a welcome basket waiting for us will all kitchen necessities. A binder with all answers to your questions and even local things to do. We enjoyed our stay very much and hope to return again.

Nice and cosey cabin

Nice cabin. Great communication with the owner. I would recommend a lock on the bedroom door for extra privacy, but not a big deal. Lots of spiders and webs inside and out. When booking I had imagined a better view of the outside, but instead it's sits in front of a hill directly in front of a ditch. Not a huge deal, but some might want to know. But we did see deer in the yard almost everyday which was cool. Very cosey on the inside with plenty of games to keep the children busy.

Great Great Place

Everything advertised about this beautiful place was short of what it actually was the part they left out was the owners. I’ve stayed at places all over this country and have never had the hospitality and comfort that this place provided from the get go. They supplied everything you need if you ever forgot anything they had it the area was beautiful and peaceful was exactly what I needed and I was lucky because I actually booked another place through Expedia, who overbooked the place and I was stuck in a rut, because all the plans I made to go there, then Evolve stepped in and cleaned up the mess Expedia (Hotels.com) which I have always used but not anymore going forward, all I got from them was an email with an apology. I’m sorry, but that wasn’t enough for me, but as I said Evolve.com and I’m sorry I can’t remember who the girl was that helped me she deserves the biggest hand please find out who she was… it was one of the best days I’ve ever had comfortable clean the deer out front every morning and every night special place 100 times better than the first thing I booked because I went by and looked at that too wasn’t impressed. Kevin and Sue are the owners and they are wonderful people. Thank you for very much for letting me stay in your beautiful home. I could go on and on but I think you get the jest of it. I will be back.

Plenty of room for our family of 5 while visiting family in the area. The kids enjoyed daily deer and critter sightings, nightly bon fires, and the freedom to run around outside. Cooking was easy - we had everything we needed and then some. We also enjoyed the Andrews rail bike tour as a fun alternative to a hike.
