    What a great cabin. The location was perfect for our family wedding weekend. The kitchen was very well appointed with more than adequate dinnerware for family entertaining. The entire cabin was very cozy….which was great due to lots and lots of rain. Parking was a challenge as there were only 2 assigned spaces for the 3 couples (3 vehicles) that stayed there. However, the realty company was helpful with finding a third spot for us since adjacent properties were empty. Would love to return to the property in nicer weather!

    Cute cabin within walking distance of downtown. We especially enjoyed the screened porch on the back, where we could sit, see the leaves, and listen to the creek in the back. Would definitely recommend.

    My sisters and I stayed here for a girls weekend. We loved walking in and having the lights on, and everything looked very clean and welcoming. It rained a lot during our weekend so we did not attempt to walk to town, but I think it would be walkable if you have the right shoes. In between rain showers, we did use the hot tub and it worked very well. Even though there are houses on either side, this property feels very private. We enjoyed photographing nature down by the creek, but we did not get to use the fire pit. The decor is very nice and we enjoyed the screened porch so we could be outside even when it was raining. Everything we needed, we found in the house. Very well stocked. Communication with the rental company was easy, they texted and were very responsive,

    We loved the coziness and convenience of this cabin, but what ultimately sold our children was the amazing creekside area! They played for hours.

    Great house and beautiful property! Close to town, walking distance, but had a very mountain feel with a creek in the backyard and woods! Very enjoyable stay!
