Reviewer Comments:
This little cabin is close to the barns and horsey stuff which was our main interest. It didn't cost much, but it let us find out if we would like to bring our horses in the future. It does not have a dishwasher or washer & dryer but we didn't come here to cook a banquet or do laundry so we didn't care. It's just two of us and our needs are simple.
Pro: the people were all very nice and I felt like they gave me special treatment. The horses work hard but are well cared for and in good shape. I had a lesson one day and a trail ride the next day. Lesson instructor really understood and helped me with what I need to work on. The trail guide was a young lady who was very personable and engaged all the riders so we went from a group of strangers to friends during the ride. The refrigerator was clean and worked well. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom was simple but had plenty of surface areas to put my toiletries and spread out (Yay!) and was very clean. They only give one towel per person, so bring your own if you bathe every day. The TV and Internet service were excellent, we were able to log into our streaming accounts and watch our "binge faves" just like at home.
Con: The kitchen accoutrements were a bit sparse. You should bring your own large salad bowl, cooking pot, and sharp knife. The air conditioner was barely able to cool the room (end of June hot). The oven storage drawer was nasty with mouse leavings. I washed every dish, plate, pan, and piece of silverware before I used it as a safety precaution.
Summary: We had a good time and would go back again. As a try-out for a few days this cabin was affordable and convenient for us. I would rent it again, but if I could afford it I might pick a little bit larger one. This is for two people only. And you have to like each other.

We decided at the last minute to try to find something at Leatherwood. Luckily we did. We rented The Last Resort. We didn’t plan to spend a lot of time inside, so it was just enough.
