Perfect Stay

My husband and I rented this quaint cabin for the weekend and it was perfect! Just a short drive to wherever we wanted to go and the cabin is immaculate. We couldn't have asked for a better getaway! The owners are super friendly and we are already looking at available dates to stay in this cabin again! Just book it, you won't be disappointed!

Perfect Mountain Getaway

We had a great stay at this cabin! It was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The setting was quiet and peaceful, which made it perfect for relaxing, but it was still close enough to town and nearby activities. Check-in was easy and communication was smooth. We would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to anyone looking for a cozy mountain getaway.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
This was a great place to get away from the Florida heat in the middle of August. The Vrbo pictures on line did not do it justice. The owners did a great job remodeling the Cabin. I would and most likely will go again when I don't feel like pulling the camper up there. Note the cabin is above 3000ft elevation so the summer temperatures are perfect.
