Warm,cozy, friendly,clean and welcoming. This cabin was perfect for a ‘Girls’ weekend. Two wonderful walking paths near cabin. Two horses that loved our attention. Views from every window that made you thankful for the beauty of autumn, and Cumberland Falls just down the road. Life couldn’t be better!

If you are looking for peace and quiet, this place is perfect with so much balcony space. We probably enjoyed the fire pit with readily available firewood the most. I think we had a fire almost every night. It’s a beautiful cabin.
6 / 10Average·Jul 2024
The cabin was very nice, our only disappointment was when we were searching for a place on vrbo, we were searching for places in Cumberland and, this said it was. so we based all our adventures and sight seeing on that fact. It wasn't until after after we paid for it we got the address and found it was actually an hour south of Cumberland, witch add to our travels making most of the thing we wanted to do over a 2 hour drive. Vrbo would do better to give a distance from where you are actually searching so that one could plan there trip accordingly.
