The house was beautiful and packed with extra stuff that sometimes you forget to pack when you go on a trip we enjoyed our stay, the area was beautiful. The view was breathtaking. The only downside it was the signs on the road going up to the house. It was very easy to make a mistake and go on the wrong way up to the house and if a car was coming towards you, there was no way to back off because the road was so narrow. Also they should add more info about the road being so narrow if we had rented a cargo van like we wanted it would have been very difficult to drive on that narrow curved road to get to the house. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay very much.

Peace and quiet in the woods

We loved staying here! The cabin is beautiful and cozy; loved the morning sunlight coming into the living room! We loved the wood burning stove and firewood is provided. The view from the screened-in porch is so pretty, and you can hear creek below. It was very quiet and peaceful, yet you can drive about 12 minutes down to the visitor's center for things to do. Schedule any pony rides or trail rides in advance of your trip as they book very quickly - we missed this! We walked through the horse barns (horses were out on trails or the pasture during the day) and our daughter loved petting the barn cats. You can drive to the Daniel Boone Trail-head on the property and hike - it is a pretty hike through the forest (also a horse riding trail). You can get a map from the visitor center. Consider bringing your flip flops for walking down to the lower deck for the hot tub. At the time of our stay, they did provide nice beach towels to use! I also appreciate the heavy curtains in the bedrooms for sleeping in. :-) A few minor issues that we had, but would not deter us from staying again: Check the bed sheets when you arrive - one set was not washed. One of your check-out tasks is to take the sheets off of the beds you used, and this was not complete for one of ours. If you need a cutting board during your stay, maybe bring one, as I couldn't find one (even though pictured). Upstairs bathtub had soap scum (very easy to clean but yucky for my young daughter to take a bath), water is a little rusty in just the tub/shower, and the drain is slow. (The shower downstairs is good!) Cabin could use a deep clean for dust under beds/furniture, light fixtures, etc., otherwise everything else very clean! We really enjoyed our stay at Bennett's!
