8 / 10Excellent·Dec 2025
There is good cell service but no wifi. Also no microwave, so plan ahead for that. The grill in the pictures is not the one on site. More like a park picnic grill without a lid. Otherwise clean and cozy. Communication with host was quick and helpful. We had a 4WD truck and I couldnt imagine bringing my coupe here. Roads are a little rough. But we had a good time. Recommend fox and hounds restaurant for dinner and drinks!

The cabin was adorable. Please keep in mind it is a tiny cabin, so it is very small. If you are a taller person you may struggle with the loft area. I am 5 foot 2 and had no trouble, my husband is 5 foot 10 and he couldn't sit up fully on the bed. This is not a negative on the cabin itself, it is just the nature of the type of cabin and something to keep in mind. Also remember you are in the mountains. The driveway/ road to the cabin is steep and you may have trouble driving up the hill unless you have 4 wheel drive or all wheel drive. We have a Chevy Traverse and it did fine. I will say the only negative we had was the outdoor lights were out, and since it is in the middle of the woods it was DARK. I had a bulb in my car so I went ahead and changed the light by the front door and sent a message to the owner in the morning about the lights I was not able to reach without a ladder. The owner did state they would have the maintenance person come replace them, however they were not working during our stay. I cannot say if they replaced the bulbs but there were other issues or if they did not come at all as I was gone most of the day. They were doing a lot of work on the driveways as we left that day so I could be that it just slipped their minds as they had other, bigger, issues to deal with. It is not a big deal to me as I had replaced one myself so I had some light. Overall it was a great stay and a nice cabin. I do think I will stay with this host again is available.

Was quiet and nice Tiny home
6 / 10Average·Sep 2025
The listing was shown as "moonshine" shack...we drive around for like 10 minutes, called host and was advised it is the "shiners" shack. The key is all bent to unlock the door. Not sure why they wouldn't just replace it? We walked in, the coffee maker had an old used coffee pod, the shower had hair and other things all inside and on the shower step over. The towels, they smell like wet dog. After you dry yourself, the smell carries over to you. I bought kleenex hand towels as I couldnt stand the smell of the towels.The fridge was dirty, do not put anything in the back of the fridge, it will freeze. The steps to bed ARE NOT accommodating for short people. I am 5 foot and it wss a struggle, the first step and last step down are not even, very dangerous! The drive to the cabin, very sharp turn it was back and forth a couple of times to make final turn. It was a nice getaway. I am not sure we will stay at this location again.
