Thank you from the bottom of our city girl hearts. The three of us have made memories that will last a lifetime. The solitude, scenery and peace is beyond words. You are one of the kindest most sweetest person we have ever met. We absolutely loved the golf cart. Lily had such fun being our driver and Suzy and I even took it for a spin around the pond. We all want to come back with our husbands and families and really hope we will be able to and to see you againDid you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

The last two days have probably been the most peaceful and relaxing vacation we have ever been on. It reminded us of our country upbringing with so many wonderful memories. Exploring the creek bed was another fun time. We saw deer raccoon, a lizard, squirrels and heard some songbirds. My husband got to hear the Pilated woodpecker but we have not seen it yet. There is no want here that has not been attended. We hope to stay again, maybe next yearDid you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Beautiful, quiet getaway, superb hosts who went out of their way to make things comfortable, deer, raccoon and rabbits (not to mention bugs) as silent companions. A nice rain ,air conditioning to shelter us from humidity, heat and bugs.The grill delicious hamburgers we made, proximity to Springfield (we saw the Springfield mile motorcycle race). We could go on and on. In our all-wheel drive Subaru Wayne the hill was a piece of cake. Hope we can see you againDid you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Wayne We had a great time this being our first year here we spent some time getting to know your property. Deer are everywhere compared to some other areas we have visited. Your cabin is a great place with all the comforts of home. We hope to see you again next year.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

This has been one of the best hunting trips I have ever been on. You have made it feel like I have known you all my life. Thanks for all the lunches and dinner. The cabin was awesome more than I had expected. Already looking forward to coming back. Saw several nice bucks but could not close the distance. Had a chance of a deer of a lifetime but a tree limb had something to say about that . Looking forward to seeing you next year. God blessDid you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

It has been a great week for hunting. Seen plenty of deer just couldn't get them to come close enough but that is why they call it hunting and not killing. The cabin made us feel like we were home [minus the wife] I really enjoyed lunch at the local church and all the time we spent with Wayne and his family. You all are great people. Hope to see you again next year.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

You have shown more hospitality than anyone could expect. I have had a great time. I have seen more game species here in this little piece of heaven. I look forward to bringing my family and coming back. Thanks again for the kindness the both of you have put forth.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

The Unique Benefits at this Cabin:
A stay at Mountains Mountain is all about rediscovering the quiet of the remote country as it used to be. The calmness of the nighttime will amaze you as you gaze at the stars as you sit on the north deck on a moonlit night, or slowly walk up the Forest Trail among the tall trees on a sunny day. Explore the creek up Hidden Valley and look for fossils and different rock formations and stop and think how this amazing part of nature was formed.
