We enjoyed our stay at the cabin and the views from the decks are incredible. The cabin is well equipped with everything you will need. The cabin is minutes from Hiawassee and not far from other cities like Hayesville, Murphy and Blairsville. Communication from the Host from booking, check-in and check-out was smooth. Looking forward to coming back in the future.
