    This cabin was pretty perfect for us as a couple. Lots of kitchen supplies for cooking, nice private hot tub and porch, and clean and comfortable beds. This cabin is in a small alcove off of the Main Street so you aren’t visible to the average eye but there are 3 other homes located in shady cove if you are looking for 100% surrounded by trees. Would totally stay again.

    We had a little trouble finding this place. GPS didn’t recognize the address but we found some help at the local post office. The place was very clean and quiet. There were a couple of other houses around but no one staying in them during our visit. Thankful for that because we wanted all the privacy! The only issue we had was the hot tub not being warm enough. The heater stopped working on the 2nd night of being there. We chose this place mainly for the hot tub so we were kinda bummed about that. The beds were comfy, nice soft throws and towels. The whole place felt like a warm mtn hug! We hated to leave and hope to book again soon! Hopefully the hot tub will be hot next time.

    Since it rained almost our entire vacation, this was the perfect place to be stuck inside. It has the perfect covered porch to sit while it is raining so you aren't actually stuck indoors all the time, not to mention the hot tub is covered as well. The decorative furniture and lights really made the porch inviting. Inside, the house was super clean! The bed in the master bedroom was very comfortable. The hot water was actually hot. The sofa was very comfortable plus the blankets were very soft to cuddle up with while watching a movie. Internet was touchy but it was storming in the mountains so, I expected this. Loved it, would stay again! ❤️
