Ali & I came here for peace and sweet fellowship. I have loved sitting in my PJ's and talking & sharing while the weather outside was in the teens. I loved going to the drive-in movies in the snow and wrapped in blankets and layers of clothes laughing at chick flicks. This has been so sweet, fun, and safe. I feel our friendship has taken a deeper and more meaningful turn. Thank you for sharing this special place with me.

Great family time and reconnect after my deployment. Tyler (our 3 yr old) enjoyed the walks, zip line, and especially the swing. Madelyn (our 10 month old) enjoyed cruising the floors. My wife and I enjoyed the family time again! We had a great lunch at Mercier Apple Orchard and had a great Apple Fritter. We also drove by Brasstown Bald and played in the snow. We then drove by Vogel State Park which looks like it would be great fun in warmer weather. Drove through beautiful but curvy 180/60/Morganton (bring camera and motion sickness pills!). I will definitely be back with my fly rod.. some great rivers/creeks in that area. Unfortunately all good things must come to an end. Thank you so much for a great family vacation.

It's my last day here, and I'm getting ready to leave. Thank you for providing such a comfortable, peaceful setting. I cam here by myself to find just the right environment to relax and to reflect, and this was perfect. I stopped at a grocery store on my way in and stocked up on good food, and have since spent my time cooking, reading, hiking, soaking in the hot tub, and journaling. I also did some yoga stretches in front of the fireplace. The only contact that I had was with Linda Rice at Blue Ridge Mountain Outfitters. She was very friendly and helpful and full of information about hiking in the area. I ended up doing the Flat Creek Loop Trail in the Aska Trails Area (Blue Ridge) and the Gahuti Trail in Fort Mountain State Park (Chatsworth). Both were well maintained and beautiful. I'm planning on stopping at Carter's Lake on my way out of town. Best wishes to your family for the New Year and thanks again for all the thoughtfulness you have taken in making your home so comfortable for guests.

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving in your home! We hiked, rode horses, swang on the tree swing, and enjoyed the "light up Blue Ridge" activities. Our 6 year old loved seeing Santa Claus arrive by train! Our days ended with a visit to the hot tub!

Your cabin is so warm and inviting. We enjoyed the quiet! Having our devotions on your rocking chairs was wonderful. We also enjoyed hiking in the Cherokee National Forest (20 min away in TN) and visiting Mercier Orchards :) We will definitely tell our co-workers and friends how much we enjoyed our stay.

We had a lovely time here at your cabin. Our little boys loved the stuffed animals, and our almost 2 year old especially appreciated that there were chairs just his size. We came to North GA last year and stayed in a motel room -- what a change! This morning, driving into town, we stopped the car and let our 4 year old strip frost off the grass. We all enjoyed visiting local apple houses, and agreed that the fresh-from-the-fryer apple cider doughnut we had today at Hillcrest Apple House is the best doughnut we have ever had (and we used to live down the street from Krispy Kreme!)

Our family had a great weekend enjoying your beautiful cabin. Our 3 kids all LOVED the tree swing! We also enjoyed roasting marshmellows in the evenings. What a lovely place to come and relax.

Oh my goodness -- what a beautiful place you have here! This was a last minute get away for our family (to celebrate my birthday). We truly enjoyed ourselves -- the porch swing was my favorite spot! We saw the peacock as well. My son enjoyed collecting peacock feathers. As many others have written, your cabin truly abounds with love -- Christ's love :)! Thank you for sharing "The Simple Life" with us.

What a beautiful spot you have. The view is Great and it is so peaceful here. We had a much needed long weekend getaway. No TV, No Radio, No phones, just family time exploring, playing games, bonfires at night, and dad playing his guitar. The hot tub is a great addition. We even had lots of stars and a full moon. The girls loved Mr. Peacock and all of them got lots of exercise chasing each other. As we are packing up to leave the girls keep asking "when will we be back?". Thanks for sharing your lovely home, "A Simple Life".
