Another Great Time @ 300!!
Our favorites: playing board games, floating the creek all the way down, fishing the creek, dancing on the deck, catching fire flies (and releasing them back of course), playing cards on the deck, laughing until our ribs hurt, riding the mountain trail, playing frisbee with our dog, kayaking and grilling outside! We truly enjoy our stay and we love that we don’t have to leave for anything other than riding the telamena scenic trail!

Quiet Relaxation and Hiking
Precious little cottage that was decorated so cute! Loved all the leaves and birds: chickadees, tufted titmouse, woodpeckers, geese, and saw a deer on our way out. Located close to Wilhemenia State Park for hiking. Wish we had time to stay another day or 2. We loved it. Forced us to not rely on our phone or streaming and enjoy nature.

It was okay
The place was good but defiantly not worth the money because the house is so small and they charge way to much for a cleaning fee and night fee as someone who use to have a rental this was very pricy also the canoes have mold in them and the water was to low to do that stuff and be aware that it’s a duplex so there are people connected to the other side of you again the place was cute and clean but I wouldn’t say it was worth it for the price because the tv didn’t even work it had really bad connection!

Weekend getaway
I met my tinder date there for our third encounter. The property is immaculately clean. It is a short side by side rod to Wolfpen gap trail head. There’s a small creek at the back of the property which is nice to go. Look at little fish in the morning and drink coffee. I would recommend this for couples. It is a cute little property. But my tinder date was a jerk.

This was a awesome trip. Myself and my little boy (6) had our annual "bro weekend" before he starts back to school. I started this last year and hope this will be a lasting trip each year. Thank you again and he had a blast. He was sad when we left, b/c he wanted to stay. I look forward to returning again.

Romantic get away
The property is as cute as it can be. Decorated in whimsical sculptures and perfectly maintained. There is a large outdoor deck overlooking a charming stand of trees and a small creek. I drank coffee by the creek in the morning and listened to nature. There are so many birds in this area, great for the bird watcher or casual observer. We drove our side by side to the Wolf Pen Gap trail head which was not too for away and had a great time. Would definitely recommend for a get away. A. Rawls, Monroe, LA
