We appreciate your 5 star review and recommendation. We are so happy that you enjoyed the amenities of Bucking Bison and were able to just enjoy the natural surroundings. We look forward to your return!
This was the perfect cabin to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary! It was also our first trip to northern Georgia. This is a beautiful home. The location was wonderful- felt like it was central to everything we wanted to see and do (18-22 min to Blue Ridge depending on which side of town you are going to). The cabin is comfortable and very relaxing. We did a lot of porch sitting; drinking coffee and watching the turkey and deer and admiring the view.
The bed we slept in was comfortable. The shower had good water pressure and was hot. The tap water tasted good. The kitchen was well equipped and the spice rack was stocked.
We enjoyed a game of ping pong too! Turns out we are not good at it at all. We had fun laughing at ourselves though. The fire flies at night were cool to see when driving in. I have no idea if the television works or not because we never even turned them on. The wifi works well. We were pleased with this cabin and would book it again if it were available.
