There is good cell service but no wifi. Also no microwave, so plan ahead for that. The grill in the pictures is not the one on site. More like a park picnic grill without a lid. Otherwise clean and cozy. Communication with host was quick and helpful. We had a 4WD truck and I couldnt imagine bringing my coupe here. Roads are a little rough. But we had a good time. Recommend fox and hounds restaurant for dinner and drinks!

Great place with a view and hot tub!

Lovely little cabin with an awesome view and even more awesome hot tub. We had a great time. Note that you will most likely need a 4x4 to get up to this cabin. It's private and I felt safe at the site. This was my 2nd stay on the mountain but in a different cabin. I will most likely stay at this cabin or a different one on the same mountain property in the future. Owners seem friendly and down to earth which is always nice.

A beautiful tiny cabin in the mountains

The cabin and property we're so beautiful. The host had the hot tub heated up before we arrived which was amazing. I would highly recommend this property for anyone who wants a secluded vacation retreat.

Beautiful space and I hope we can come back to visit! It was very tight with a car trailer, but the hosts were very kind to let us park in a more accessible spot somewhere else on their property.

The listing was shown as "moonshine" shack...we drive around for like 10 minutes, called host and was advised it is the "shiners" shack. The key is all bent to unlock the door. Not sure why they wouldn't just replace it? We walked in, the coffee maker had an old used coffee pod, the shower had hair and other things all inside and on the shower step over. The towels, they smell like wet dog. After you dry yourself, the smell carries over to you. I bought kleenex hand towels as I couldnt stand the smell of the towels.The fridge was dirty, do not put anything in the back of the fridge, it will freeze. The steps to bed ARE NOT accommodating for short people. I am 5 foot and it wss a struggle, the first step and last step down are not even, very dangerous! The drive to the cabin, very sharp turn it was back and forth a couple of times to make final turn. It was a nice getaway. I am not sure we will stay at this location again.

Dirty, hairy shower. We had just checked in.

Old used coffee pods in coffee maker...we just checked in.

Very cool!

The cabin was pretty much exactly as the listing describes. They have added a gazebo/ roof over the grill and outdoor table which was really nice even though we weren’t there long enough to use it. The cabin was clean and had the basics for cooking. The steps to the loft bed were a bit steep which wasn’t a problem for us but is something to keep in mind. Overall we had a great stay!

Absolutely perfect weekend getaway!

My husband and I booked this property for a night away. It exceeded all expectations! The tiny home was so quaint and super clean- exactly as described. The hot tub was such a plus too! We had dinner under the gazebo overlooking the mountains at sunset. I am already recommending this cabin to my friends. Can’t wait to book another trip!! Thank you to the amazing hosts for sharing this gem with us!
