This is our 3rd visit to this property and it is truly one of our favorite vacation destinations! The property is beautiful and clean and has everything you could want or need in a vacation rental. We visited with family and rented two houses on the property this stay and it couldn’t have been more perfect! Highly recommend!!!

It is like coming home to our home away from home. Love this place. We have lost count of how many years we have returned to Settlers Mountain. We have stayed in 5 of their houses - all, but the big one on top of the mountain. Always clean. check-in is easy. check out is easy. any minor issues we might have are quickly and easily resolved.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Jul 2023
Settler's Mountain is in a gorgeous setting and well located. The outside appointments to Pinery 5 are lovely. The front porch is a great place to sit, and there are trails on the property. The deck off the upstairs bedroom was a plus. We did not use the firepit but would have had we been there longer. The cabin is dated and there were a number of maintenance items that needed attention, mostly in the kitchen. We told the owner about these. The major detractor was the musty smell. Yes, the cabin is old and located in a damp area, but till we found the thermostat and turned the air conditioner down to 66 degrees, the smell was difficult to tolerate. A good air purifier and dehumidifier would help out with this problem a lot. The price was right but I am not sure I would stay in this cabin in the future. Luckily we did not have to spend much time inside.
