    Summer Haven was perfect for our girls weekend getaway. The cabin was immaculately clean, very spacious and comfortable; the kitchen well-stocked. Melinda was very responsive to a minor issue with the front door key pad. We will definitely return. It’s wonderful!

    This was our best experience at any type of rental property. The home was just as it was projected - well-appointed, spacious, clean, comfortable, and located in a wonderful spot. The rocking chairs on the porch overlooking the forest was a bonus. We were there primarily for hiking and outdoor enjoyment. The area is rich in opportunities. We took advantage of a variety of food choices and shopping a few minutes drive away in Brevard. The owner has provided a well thought out opportunity here. This is a comfortable and convenient property. We will be back!

    The home was beautiful and check/ check out went smoothly. I felt the pictures of the outside area were quite deceiving as the yard was very small. Otherwise everything was perfect!

    The cottage was everything and more of what we remembered from a stay 7 years ago. The owner was kind enough to insure we could manipulate the driveway, bringing in sand and shoveling some ice. So thoughtful. Thanks, Melinda for sharing and caring. We'll be back!
