Peaceful and Beautiful!

Beautiful area with an absolutely peaceful experience. Did not get a chance to wander as much as we would have liked due to family commitments in the area but loved returning in the evenings to the solitude!

Beautiful location but lots of mice everywhere

This cabin is beautiful and the overall stay was very nice and peaceful. Want to be clear the cabin is lovely. That said, the place was infested with mice. Not just one or two, but five or six - they were everywhere. They got into the oven, in the toaster, on the kitchen counter, they even got into my son's luggage. Their droppings were all over the place. My son had mouse droppings in his luggage when he got home - pretty gross. If they can fix the mouse problem it's a great place.

Needed Retreat

The Wilderness Reserve Whitetail Cabin was a very secluded, peaceful retreat. It was a bit more secluded than expected but the wildlife was great to see. The cabin has clean and had everything we needed, but could have used a couple more fans given the 90 degree temps. Would recommend to others wanting a remote peaceful retreat.
