  If your expecting a secluded, quiet, and comfy getaway, then this is it! Upon arriving to the owners house, I was greeted by a vivacious and super friendly Ed. Actually I was greeted by their two friendly dogs first:) He was in the process of making us homemade bread. We found that the property was well maintained, and clean. With a partially stocked kitchen, we didn't need much. The BEST part of the stay was waking up, and drinking a hot cup of coffee on the front porch while viewing the gorgeous scenery Mt. Magazine has to offer, not to mention listening to the birds chirp without traffic and other noise pollution interfering. If your looking for a 5 star hotel, this is not the place for you. But if you don't mind staying in an older cabin with a view from heaven, then yuo'll love this place.

  First off: This place is ridiculously affordable for what you get. A great little cabin in what feels like the middle of nowhere. Fresh baked bread upon arrival, comfortable bed/couch/recliner, full kitchen and bath, outdoor fire pit stocked with cut wood. Ed and Barb were awesome, checking on us during our drive there, and calling to say safe travels on the way home. Our dog, Decker, loved the cabin and running free in the field on which it is housed. Very pleased with our stay, and we'll be staying here again if we come back through town.

  There were four of us, two couples. The ladies were attending a knitting session at the Mt. Magazine state lodge about 40 minutes away and us guys planned to fish and relax. The two cabins were well equipped with all the kitchen dishes, full size refrigerater, basic kitchen items(coffee, foil, paper towels, salt & pepper, spices satellite tv channels, dvd and movies, very comfy beds, etc.) which was pretty nice since there wasn't a Wal-Mart around the corner. The cabins were everything described in their description and then some. It was a nice place to relax and kick back. The rates were half the price of the lodge per night and a third less than the state lodge cabins. We felt pretty lucky to have found the place. The owners Ed and Barbara were delightful and more than willing to help you with anything. They have 3 stocked ponds for our use to fish and even provided fishing gear if we needed it. I would highly recommend it for a nice and relaxing get-away. But be sure to call far in advance for reservation because they are booked all the time, we booked it 3 months ahead of time and got lucky. Week days are probably a little easier to get reservations.

  I was trying to submit a review on your site and couldn't figure out how. First, I wanted to say how sorry I am for the misunderstanding about my inlaws coming up. I honestly did not think they were coming up this year. I did not find out until Thursday morning. Now for my review if you don't mind submitting it on your site for me ---- I highly recommend Circle C Cottages. The owners are amazing people. Jenny's cottage is beautiful. Has all the comforts of home. My boys thoroughly enjoyed being able to just head out a s go fishing (even tho they aren't very good at it!). The location is perfect for all the spots we wanted to visit this year. The views are great! We hope to see you again next year!! Thank you so much, The Purdons Naples, Texas

  What an awesome weekend my husband, myself, our son and two dogs had at Jenny's Little Cabin! I cannot say enough about the graciousness of Ed and Barbara. My son is still raving about Barbara's homemade bread and asking when we can go back! He is 18! Ed and Barbara had all the info we needed laid out for us via maps and flyers to fill our weekend with adventure. The cabin was perfect in every way and stocked with anything you might have forgotten! (We forgot our toothpaste!) We enjoyed two different state parks and when we weren't on an adventure we enjoyed being able to sit out on the front deck and take in God's amazing Creation while drinking a nice warm cup of coffee. This was the perfect getaway and i've already told other friends and family and am planning a return trip very soon! Many thanks to Ed and Barbara for your hospitality.

  We had such a nice time staying in Amber's. Our college-aged kids loved it too. The owners are so friendly and just genuinely nice people. We loved the homemade bread too - what a lovely way to say, "Welcome!" We had a minor problem with the furnace, and almost immediately Barb came to our aid. She called a repairman who was there soon. The accommodations were rustic. I felt as if I had stepped back in time to a simpler way of life. How refreshing! I hope to return someday. P.S. Our little dachshund loved her vacation too!

  We were so thankful for Barb and Ed! They are great people! A few of my closest friends and I decided to get away for the weekend from the busy metropolis of Dallas. The 5 hour drive was perfect to feel like we got "away" and end up at our cabin on their property, on what felt like a mountain ranch! The cabin (or cottage) is off an old dirt road ten minutes from the entrance to the windy road to the top of gorgeous Mount Magazine. Barb greeted us when we arrived and was beyond flexible, as we were running late (can you really be late on a vacation to get away? We were lolly-gagging and enjoying our drive!) When we arrived, she was even gracious enough to wait to help us get settled, and insisted that we make our way to the top of the mountain for sunset at the lodge-- she didn't want us to miss it! After relaxing at the lodge and having a drink while watching the sunset (it was absolutely quiet and peaceful up there!) we made our way back to the cabin where Barb, and of course her very friendly chocolate lab, escorted us down the dirt road to the cabin (you could tell, the chocolate lab was used to visitors!) The cabin was fully stocked with everything we needed - fresh sheets, towels, dishes, and even a blow up mattress (available upon request). We made our grilled chicken out on the little smoker pit. The rest of the weekend consisted of hiking the scenic trails at Mount Magazine (one of the prettiest mountains I've been on and very easy to hike - highly recommend the North Rim trail), sitting by the fire pit next to the cabin, gazing at the countless stars in the clear dark night sky from the cabin, and really just enjoying the presence of God in his beautiful wilderness. The view from the Ambers cabin porch was perfect to start our morning off with coffee and some time in the Lord's word. (And don't worry - she has cable to catch a football game if the BIG game is on - we did!) There is no doubt we will be back to see our new friends again and stay at their very reasonable and cozy cabin (And the fresh bread Barb made was INCREDIBLE! Hard not to desire another loaf!) Lastly, I will say these people are beyond gracious...anything we needed, she was never bothered to help us. Our car battery even died (left a light on overnight...), and she so kindly supplied the cables to jump start it! Cant wait to try out the newer cabin -Jennys! Enjoy this get away, turn off your cell phones like we did, and enjoy the way God intended life to be - at peace.

  Jenny’s Little Cabin is a must for anyone looking for a friendly place to stay. We had found this little jewel while looking for options to help keep cost down while visiting the Mount Magazine State Park, as we took in the hiking trails during the day and would come back to the cabin to enjoy a wonderful relaxing evening. From the front porch you get to enjoy the sunrise coming up over Mount Magazine, and if you stay quite you will get to see the deer in the open field in front. During our week we would see the deer each morning and once in the evening. The first night we enjoyed the welcome howl of the coyotes’ by the cabin. From the chairs on the front you would have the sunset over the field of cattle grazing in the evenings. The fresh homemade bread was wonderful that Barbara had waiting for us when we arrived that first evening. We had warm welcome from Max and Charlie too! The cabins accommodations were great and that little extra touch was there for maybe the little items you may have forgot to pack. I would highly recommend this for the place to stay and if your idea of fun is not big on hiking, the area has a lot to offer for just enjoying nature from the auto. The wineries that are in the area are great too! If you’re still looking for something to do would suggest you try the Grapevine restaurant in Paris, or the lodge on Mount Magazine the food is great at both places. Barbara and Ed can also help with suggestions for just about anything from places to visit, shop, and eat. You could not get any better host then these two sweet and loving people ….so enjoy!

  The accommodations were great. Even though we arrived very late, Ed was waiting for us to arrive. Jenny's Little Cabin is the perfect place to stay. The cabin is very well maintained and stocked with everything you could possibly need. The three grandchildren loved to get out and roam the area around the cabin.
