Birthday Trip to the woods

This property was perfect for our trip. We spent 3 nights relaxing, birding, and visiting sites in and near Mt Gilead. Owner was very responsive. We would definitely stay here again.

Best Getaway Cabin

The pictures of this property do not do it justice. It was very peaceful. The host allowed us to bring our dog, and had snacks for us left out for when we arrived. There was outdoor games (I didn't know Yardtze was a thing, and not I want one!), indoor games, books and magazines. It was secluded enough to be peaceful, but still close to things in case you needed it (like Dollar General and Kroger). Also close to Mt. Gilead State Park. I would stay here again for SURE and would certainly recommend it to anyone looking for a cabin in this area.

Cabin in the woods

Very clean cabin. Was just what we needed and the owners were very responsive. Came down for a wedding and had plenty of room for all of us to get ready. Was a little chilly at night but we were all able to stat warn around the fire pit. Owners offered free firewood which was a pleasant surprise so we didn't have to pack it with us in an already crowded car. Would be staying here anytime we come in the area to see family.

About the host

Hosted by janel Scarbrough

We are a family that is excited to share our farm with you. We live on the farm and have been here for over 7 years. Our goal is to teach our kids to love nature as much as we do. We strive to protect our woods and nature. Our property is a certified tree farm. We have planted hundreds of trees and plants over the years. We also live on the farm and have 2 cabins for rent. We have 2 kids and several animals (don't worry- none of the animals are near the cabins).

Why they chose this property

This little piece of heaven was built in 1940. It has tons of charm and was initially called the Indian Mound Lodge. It is quiet, calm, and serene. The water feature will put you to sleep in the hammock as you watch the birds play outside. This is where you can come and relax. The cabin is tucked into the woods with nothing but large mature trees surrounding most of the cabin. It does have a large grass front yard for games and room to run.
My favorite part of the cottage is the large sunroom with vaulted ceilings and old wood beams. There are large antique windows that protect you from the elements throughout the year. There is nothing like listening to the rain on the roof while relaxing inside the three-season room.
