    Very friendly and responsive hostess. Clean and cozy with everything I needed. Perfect little getaway for me and my fur baby. Definitely want to stay there again. Already miss it and I’ve only been gone 2 days. Thanks for everything!

    We enjoyed our stay! This place was cute, cozy & had everything we needed. We loved the bumblebee theme. I love how it accommodated pets with some supplies & a fenced in area. The couches were comfortable. We would love to return in the future.

    We had a short weeked trip to make for my husband to compete in the Blairsville Highland Games about 30 minutes away. This was an awesome cozy cabin to stay at and the hot tub was perfect for him to unwind in after a day long competition. Our 6 year old enyjoyed seeing the wildlife (deer and a hawk) and loved the upstairs loft area. We will definitely keep this place at the top of the list when we visit the area again.

    The place was decorated very well, lots of extra touches. Did not use the hot tub as it needed cleaning.

    My husband & I brought our 16 yr old son for a family vacation….the cabin was very cozy and welcoming, in a quiet, wooded area with other cabins, but landscape allowed for privacy without feeling of total seclusion. The location was within easy driving distance to larger cities with major attractions, and close to smaller towns with local attractions and sights. It was perfect!

    Everything was great except the water. It has a smell to it and stains the toilet.
