Little Slice of Heaven
This cabin had all we needed and more. Board games, huge TVs, amazing windows for almost a 360 view, and just decorated so cute. We enjoyed the hot tub, showers had great water pressure and love that we had hand held sprayers (which are sometimes hard to find, but important to us). We will definitely return.

Fabulous as always
My husband and I stay here every year and we both agree that this is the perfect couples getaway cabin. From the craftsmanship of the cabin itself to the modern kitchen updates, we always want to come home and remodel and redecorate our own house. This cabin is our favorite getaway spot. 5 Stars!!!

4th Anniversary Bliss
We loved our stay at this beautiful little cabin. Nathan was a blessing to work with. He went above and beyond to help us with information, not only about checking in and out, but he also provided information about local places to eat and some things we might enjoy doing. The atmosphere was perfect for our 4th Anniversary to celebrate, rest, explore the local trials and beautiful scenery. We hope to come back sometime during the summer! Thank you Nathan for sharing such a wonderful place for us to stay.

Nathan’s property is absolutely wonderful. My husband and I needed some time away and Nathan’s cabin fit the bill exactly. Easy to get to, matches description and will exceed your expectations. Upon our arrival the forecast going and the Christmas tree lit up the cozy den. The hot tub was so relaxing. The entire cabin was spotless and so cozy. Highly recommend!

Get Away
The cabin is beautiful. It has all updated finishes without taking away the rustic charm. Kitchen had anything you needed to cook a meal, plenty of dishes and utensils. Nice deck and great for pit area. We really enjoyed the hot tub! Great location - only thing I would say that wasn’t perfect is it’s located at a pretty busy intersection, but there was not much noise from traffic . Thank you for sharing your cabin with us!

Beautiful Cabin and Property
We had a lovely stay, it’s a beautiful cabin and it is very accommodating, it has been wonderful updated and the surroundings were nice and quiet. We enjoyed hiking at
Cloudland State Park
My only negative would be the directions from our gps and from the written correspondence, neither were helpful in finding the cabin. Finally had to call the property manager.
