This was a great place for us. Very clean, inviting, warm and friendly atmosphere that is dog friendly. The beds were comfortable. All amenities you can expect from home. The pictures were accurate shown on the website are accurate.The game room was so much fun. I enjoyed the nostalgia of playing Ms. Pac-Man and the fussball game. Such peace and quoet on the porches with rocking chairs. Thanks for the gift of wine & bottle holder. Terisita and her family are great hosts. Now be prepared for a "hilly" ride and a beautiful cabin. We enjoyed our terrific stay and recommend this place.

My family enjoyed the cabin so much, everything was so homey and very clean! My 6 girls under the age of 8 enjoyed the games and we all had lots of space. The hot tub was amazing & so relaxing. Having a dog crate was very helpful and saved us much needed space in the vehicle. We did have a water issue through the whole resort on Monday the day before checkout and they were great with reaching out and offered a refund for the night without hassle. I most def will be visiting again!

Great stay!

We enjoyed staying here! Teresita was very prompt on answering when reaching out! Close drive to attractions but yet far enough away too. We tried pizza at the cove for dinner one night and that is the best pizza we ever had! We will definitely have that every time we visit that area. You won’t be disappointed in your stay here!

Scenic cabin with plenty of space for the whole family!

My family and I very much enjoyed our stay at this cabin. The cabin was lovely and very clean, and there was plenty of space for all of us (4 adults, 1 child, and our dog). We had a small issue with the bathtub, but Teresita was very responsive about getting this issue fixed quickly. We had a great time and will definitely consider future stays at this cabin. Highly recommend!
