Perfect Getaway for 2!
We drug our feet planning our anniversary weekend getaway - waiting so much until the last minute that nothing was showing available. I sent Ches & Spring a message asking if they had anything else available and unbeknownst to me, the Ponderosa guesthouse was still available. They took extra steps to make sure that we were able to check in Friday and stay through Sunday.
The main cabin is beautiful, but the little guesthouse was so charming! It's very clean and updated on the inside but not so much that you lose the feel of being away and unplugged. If you're like me and can't sleep without sound of some sort, don't forget to bring a fan or sound machine because it's QUIET. You will hear every acorn drop and wildlife walking in the night. Speaking of wildlife, we sat outside and ate breakfast both mornings and had deer close enough for viewing join us.
We only had two problems while there we ran into. One being the water levels were low (nothing they could control) which made getting the kayaks (which they had for us to use!) in the water a chore. We also lost power Saturday morning, but Ches responded quickly to our call and came to the rescue while we were kayaking and had it fixed by the time we came back.
Spring recommended we try A Taste Of The South Restaurant, and I'm so glad we took the time to go have lunch there. The best staff and family vibes - not the mention the food was soooo good!
Overall this little cabin and host were so great and just what we needed!
