The cascading stream and waterfall view make this cottage the perfect retreat.

I, being the only girl with two men, was more than happy to find out the guys had reserved a cabin with rooms and bathrooms! It's very cute! They did a good job! We arrived late Friday to wake early Saturday and go fly fishing all day on the East Fork and Davidson rivers. We had good luck. It's Sunday, and we are about to go again. Thanks for letting us stay! Oh, and thanks for all the great movies to choose from. J.H.

We had a wonderful relaxing time in your lovely cabin. Your web-site is nice BUT does NOT do it justice. It's larger than it looks and is so charming. We had a great time here. It was also nice that we could have our dogs Katie and Morse here. We would love to return.

We enjoyed our two nights in your cottage.The fall colors were spectacular! All the windows brought the outside in and the decks are such a plus. The mountain view from the breakfast table at sunrise was something to always remember. The location is great. Thank you, and God bless you.

Lovely cottage and setting. The leaves are at their peak and beautiful! Very cool mornings and evenings so we enjoyed the gas log fire. Breakfast at the Moose Cafe at the Farmers Market was just one of the highlights of our trip. Wonderful time. Thanks for the memories!
