Perfect little getaway

If you're looking for a quiet place to stay within driving distance to beautiful mountains and scenery this place is perfect. Everything was clean including the nice warm hot tub and the hostess was easy to communicate with. We were only able to stay the one night but can't wait to go back.

The cabin was a perfect getaway spot, very private, close to Table Rock, Caesers Head and other state parks. The kitchen was adequately equipped, the queen bed comfortable. We enjoyed the fire pit area next to the babbling creek behind the cabin, the hot tub, cooking a meal on the outdoor hibachi and eating outside on the creekside table. There are a variety of nice solar lights outside. We also visited the museum in Pickens and liked the excellent wines at nearby Victoria Valley winery. We recommend this VRBO to all
