    Overall, my family and I loved the house! Plenty of space for us 5 adults. Super clean and stocked with basic necessities. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook. Mrs. Pam makes it very clear that you NEED four wheel drive to make it to the house! Do not underestimate the driveway! The only issues we had were we weren’t aware of the gate at the beginning of the driveway and it is extremely tight if you are driving a dually, and the road getting to the house had a pretty rough washout (no fault of the homeowners, I know their was nothing they could do about that.) Mrs. Pam was extremely nice and responded very quickly to any questions. We enjoyed it so much, we decided to stay an extra night!

    The cabin was beautiful and stocked very well. The view from the deck is spectacular. It’s a very nice place to relax and unwind. Yes you need a 4wd to get up to the house but once you are there it is peaceful and a place worth staying. We enjoyed our stay!

    The house is gorgeous! We loved that part. However, there were several issues that we had. The owner was very nice when we contacted her for a stopped up tub. I am not sure the owner knows of the problems. But, quite a few things were misrepresented in the description but we thoroughly enjoyed our stay despite the issues.

    This is our second stay at the cabin. We have family in the area and this is our go-to vacation house. The views are just wonderful. Even family that came to visit said “Y’all have quite a view.” The house has all you need for a comfortable stay. Clean and welcoming. Our host was very responsive if we had questions. We saw deer ?, turkeys ?, and baby skunks with Mamma. When we visit we take advantage of the mill's wonderful simple fixings. We also had fun fishing and visiting wineries close by. Again, as many have mentioned, the driveway is straight up a mountain ⛰️. Awd or 4x4 recommend. We have a Sienna AWD and it didn't have a problem. Thanks again Pam for a great stay!
