This was the perfect place for us. It was close to town but very private. The back yard was a great place to relax and enjoy the hot tub. Communication with the hosts was easy and response time was quick.

The cabin was more spacious in person that how it looks in the pictures. The hot tub was perfect to unwind after a day out in nature. The temperature was great both kids and adults enjoyed it very much. The hosts were amazing and would respond to us very promptly. Overall, it was a great experience I would definitely recommend staying there.

Absolutely loved our stay! It’s the little things that pushed it over the top—the pancake mix in the pantry, enough toilet paper/paper towels to get through your stay, and the gift basket waiting at arrival. My only comment would be that make sure you are aware that there is no access to the casita from the main house without going outside and there are a lot of steps/uneven ground.

Baseball Tournament

The Moonlight Mountain Lodge was perfect for our Memorial Day weekend stay. We were a part of a baseball tournament and this amazing home made for such a relaxing stay. The home was very clean, the host was very responsive and helpful. We will definitely be returning, as the space, and location were perfect for our family.

Felt like home!

This cabin was perfect! Everything was clean and we had everything we needed. The kids loved the game room and we all enjoyed the patio and hot tub. The decor is cute and makes it feel warm and inviting. Our host, Al, checked in with us a few times to make sure everything was going well, we felt very welcomed!! Great stay altogether, would definitely book here again.

We had a wonderful stay at this cabin over Father’s Day weekend! The house was beautiful, clean, and had everything our family needed for a relaxing getaway. We especially loved all of the amenities, which made our stay both comfortable and fun. There was plenty of space for everyone to enjoy time together, and the cabin felt like a home away from home.Our family made so many great memories here, and it was the perfect place to celebrate the weekend. The hosts did an excellent job providing a welcoming and enjoyable experience. We enjoyed our stay so much that we are already planning to rent this cabin again in the future. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful and family-friendly getaway!
