Just a great getaway to relax and chill ... including the hound dog!

Totally equipped and comfortable. Surprised by the extent of outside space ... the back deck, the side yard great for a dog, the outdoor paths, table and fire pit ... outside lighting .... really well done.

Beautiful, quiet and comfortable.

We had such a wonderful stay at the Mure cabin. Our family of 4 fit comfortably with room to spare. Having a washer and dryer in the cabin was very helpful. We loved the privacy and the fire pit outside. The kids had so much fun exploring the area and lounging on the porches. We will definitely be back to this cabin again. The Retreat was so hospitable and accommodating. Highly recommend staying here.

This mini-home in the woods had so much charm and comfort

We loved the location, surrounded by woods, and was so surprised to find so many great comforts of home in this small, and very well designed, space. The kitchen had everything we needed, the bathroom and bedroom were well equipped. Great porch in the front and deck in the back, it was great!

Graduation weekend stay and retreat

The house was very comfortable, clean and modern. Enjoyed our stay. We hiked and used the fire pit. Close enough to the university for important graduation events. Great for our dog who had an area to play in. Would come back for weekend again, just to enjoy the area.

LOVED this one!

I rented nine of these homes for a surprise birthday weekend. The Muse is near the rear of the community and has a long driveway with lots of privacy. Gorgeous house and perfect stay in this one. Had everything we needed. The Retreat team made my experience renting so many of these so easy. They were very attentive and responsive to my questions and requests.

Wonderful anniversary weekend!

We had a great time! The house was beautiful and had everything we needed. The property is fantastic, and quite large. This property is very private, and we enjoyed the seclusion. The host was very responsive! We can't wait for our next stay at Muse!

This was the getaway my dog and I needed! The fenced in yard and the rest of the outside space was great for me to relax and Goose (my doggo) to explore. Secluded, but not to the point that I felt unsafe. Saw a lot of deer and hearing the water behind the house was as so relaxing! The string lights outside did not work the entire time I was there. Wondered if they were solar, as it did rain a bit. But I don’t think that was the issue. I’d suggest checking the strands of lights, maybe they have just gone bad. Other than that, no complaints or issues. We will be back for sure!

Conveniently located for concerts at The Caverns

The home was clean and well maintained, and the wooded setting was nice. We appreciated it's relative isolation from other homes, which offered a bit of privacy. Don't miss the hike to the waterfall. Although we were there during a drought, it was still a nice walk.

Tiny House Luxury

Very nicely decorated and well equipped in beautiful private setting. Great for those traveling with a pet. Outdoor fenced yard was great! It was almost perfect but the bed needs replacing as it was lumpy and uneven making it hard to get comfortable. Other than that we would give this tiny home experience 5 stars.

Fall getaway

Very lovely home. It was surprisingly better than the pictures. Easy to get in the gate and the house with the instructions supplied via email the morning of. Very quiet and serene setting. Everything you need is here, if you want to cook. We chose to go to the restaurants. Papa Ron's Italian restaurant was incredible. The bed was so comfy. The home was really clean. The trails surrounding the community were a fun addition to staying here. An electric fireplace in the living room was a super nice touch. Being able to bring our dog made it our decision to choose this home. We highly recommend staying here, as you won't be disappointed.
