Thank you for sharing The Nut House with us. The house was wonderful and give the 8 of us plenty of room & activities to keep a family that ranged in age from 12-70 totally entertained. We enjoyed our time with our Florida Family. The Nut House is exactly what the description says it is: an amazing must-do stay. We had so much fun with the Nut House. The view was SPECTACULAR, the set-up of the house, along with the furniture, is very beautiful. This is the best memory we have had with all our relatives and I hope we come back someday and stay longer. Thank you so much!

We would like to thank you for such a wonderful summer stay at your "Nut House." From our 2-year old to Pop Pop we all had such a great time. I think the ongoing sentiment was "it was just too short a stay."

My, oh my! What a surprise greeted us as we turned by "Starvin' Marvins"! SNOW!!! Flurries started & we started squealing & cheering! Almost 4 inches over the next day & evening & we enjoyed a winter wonderland! Since all but one of our group lives at the beach, you can imagine the fun! This cabin home is perfectly appointed for our group ranging from a 2-year-old great granddaughter, 4 plus mates young adult children, middle-aged me and my 81-year-old mother, the greatgrandma of the family! Enjoyed the "goodie basket" & the hot tub in the falling snow. Thank you for your fabulous cabin!

We had a wonderful time at your "little piece of Heaven." The mountain view was lovely & the layout of your home as perfect. Thanks for the goodies in the gift basket. We look forward to returning next year at the same time. The weather was beautiful.

At first, we couldn't believe the view. Then, while we were walking around the house, we couldn't get over how beautiful it was. We hadn't even thought about s'mores, but there they were. Every time we needed something in the kitchen, we could open a drawer & find it. Our stay was above & beyond our expectations, and we'll remember that view from the hot tub forever. Thanks for everything!

The "Nut House" has it ALL - high elevation, gorgeous views, serene sound of the cree, and a very comfortable home with tasteful furnishings. The "theme" decorating was enjoyed by the entire family as well as the game room. Everything we needed was provided!! This was a delightful experience for our family.

Thank you so much for allowing our group to share your "little piece of Heaven" in the mountains. All of us needed a break from the "neon lights." We enjoyed a nice mix of a rainy day with a fabulous thunder storm and a gorgeous sunny day on the golf course. We ate every meal at the house so we wouldn't miss the beautiful views & sunsets. We wish you the best & hope to visit your home again next year. Feel free to visit us in North Myrtle Beach anytime.

I must say we were all a little bit bummed out when we found out there wasn't going to be any snow during our stay. But the minute we arrived at the house, we had a change of heart. Your house is so warm and welcoming and the view....absolutely breathtaking made up for the lack of snow. I have always wanted a house with a fireplace and your house is exactly what we imagined it would be....PERFECT! Thank you so much for sharing & opening up your home to our family. This will definitely be a Christmas all of us will cherish and remember with a warm smile. Love, The Family
