Book Mount Ida hotels

I arrived at Starlight Haven in early April, when the sun still remembered winter, but the air was flirting with summer. High 70s by day, low 50s at night—the kind of weather that makes you believe in America again. You know, the real kind, the “kick off your boots, spark the grill, and roast your demons in a 104-degree spa” kind. The Whippoorwill cabin. A name that stumbles off the tongue like birdsong in a whiskey dream. It’s tiny-home living, but make it luxury. The moment I stepped in, I saw more than curated, mondern, Southern comfort with a tang of rustic. I saw a feeling. There’s a Daikin unit on the wall, complex enough to launch a satellite but tuned to give you full climate dominion. Paired with the electric fireplace, it made the cabin a temple of personalized temperature. The flooring, the dual-head glass shower, the garbage disposal tucked into the sink drain like a hidden treasure of domestic ease—these weren’t accidents. Someone cared. Someone said, “What if luxury came with squirrels and no front desk?” Starlight Haven runs on digital silence. I booked, paid, checked in, and parked my car without a soul in sight. But when I needed help, I dialed the number in the welcome book. Liz: calm, grounded. Real. A reliable comfort for someone too loose for details. I watched an old noir while searing red salmon on the gas grill outside,-I have a lust for red salmon-

This is a charming place! So relaxing and so very clean. We loved everything about this location, until we laid on the bed that night. The mattress and pillows are comfortable, however the wood platform the mattress is placed on is broken or something. Every time you sat down, turned over, etc, it made a very loud cracking noise. My husband and I are neither overweight, so that wasn't the problem. We were in room 21. We would stay here again, after confirming the bed issue was resolved. There is no onsite management, so this is the best way to let them know there is an issue with the bed.

The property is very well taken care of and exactly as described. The weekend we were there, tornadoes were in the vicinity, and the owners made sure we had a safe place to go. They went above and beyond. The trail to the creek in the back is beautiful! We will definitely be back!

Steve and Peggy are great hosts, the property was spotless, roomy, comfortable, and our family (10) had a great time. Highly recommended

Clean new

All good
