We were in town for a wedding and chose this property because of its proximity to the wedding venue. It was perfect for the two of us! Cozy and private allowing us to enjoy the downtime, but also just a short drive to Helen and downtown Cleveland for convenient dining options.
We loved our stay here! Fast wifi, amazing views and secluded! The place was beautifully decorated and thought out. The hot tub was amazing and the pool table was a nice fun touch! Kitchen had everything we needed to cook. Would definitely stay here again :)
The cabin is cozy and inviting. We stayed during Christmas and the lights and tree that was put up just put everything over the top in regards to warmth. Loved this property for its ease of access yet scenic Mountain View’s. Will definitely be staying here again.
Very clean and well equipped home. The view is everything! Great little gas grill outside is perfectly located on a wrap around deck with magnificent view of Yonah Mountain! Pool table on first floor are great amenities. Air unit froze but proper manager came right away to assess and fix sitation. Excellent communication all around.
The cabin was perfect and the views are beautiful! Everything was very clean and well kept. Very comfortable and love all the outdoor seating options, jacuzzi tub & hot tub.
The cabin was very nice with a perfect view of the mountains out on the back deck. Very clean and comfortable giving the “homey” feeling.

The property is exactly as picture/described. Perfect for a couples getaway. There is privacy, beautiful views and we love the hot tub deck with the little tiki bar. The grill was spotless and the kitchen well equipped. The location is close to many great hikes with waterfalls. We would definitely come back.
