The cabin was clean,well furnished, stocked kitchen. Our second stay here and it was just as featured in vrbo ads. The added bonus was in seven days we caught more than sixty fish in the pond. Will be staying here on an annual basis. Special thanks to the owners.

Somehow I made an assumption the cabin was a bit more remote or didn’t have neighbors close by, but that was not the case. We made a full Thanksgiving meal and the kitchen had everything we needed. We loved hanging out by the firepit and playing cornhole. The holiday decorations were a nice added touch. We spotted a few deer during our stay which was lovely.

Maria was a pleasure to work with. The cabin is everything you could want for a great vacation. Loved the mountain decor. Saw a group of four deer on property several times.
