We had an amazing stay at this modern cabin! The location was perfect—peaceful and secluded, yet still close to everything we needed. The cabin itself was thoughtfully designed with all the essentials: a grill, fire pit, washer and dryer, and a fully equipped kitchen. The loft was a huge hit with the kids—cozy, fun, and just the right size for them to feel like they had their own space. Other reviews stated concerns for the age of kids using the loft, which is high, but our kids absolutely loved it and we didn’t any problems with it! I would just say “know your kids” and set ground rules. One of our favorite parts was relaxing on the deck in the mornings, watching the sunrise—it was absolutely beautiful. Highly recommend for families looking for a comfortable and scenic getaway!
Loft not ideal for kids under age 11 years of age. Loft vertical ladder that is challenging to climb. Property is in excellent condition and well equipped for extended stay. Great location if you are planning on visiting any of the trails or waterfalls in the area.
First off arrive before dark if at all possible. In the middle of no where is a bit of an understatement. Nearest store is about 1/2 hour away depending on how good a mountain driver you are and it doesnt offer much. If you think you'll need it bring it. Else you may have an hour drive to get it. This is all good stuff as its exactly what we wanted. The pad is very clean. The view is amazing and sitting on the deck for sunrises and sunsets is amazing. Water pressure for showers was great as well as having plenty of hot water. The ladder to loft is a bit steep and when you get to the loft it has a low ceiling good for kids but adults may not like it and its a straight up vertical ladder that is rock solid sturdy.
The ATV trails are accessible from the cabin as you can drive on the state and county roads. We found plenty of nice paved,dirt,gravel roads to ride on and some very difficult technical trails to ride as well. Macks Pines is about 20 miles south of the cabin. We trailered there one day got maps and some awesome info from the owner. If its your first time to the area thats a good place to start. You can access Macks Pines on trails from Puddins pad if you have a map. Trail signage is not to be found.
MOST IMPORTANT thing I can share is to avoid accessing the cabin from the north VIA 123 South. There is a stretch of road that is impossible to make with a trailer. I know there is a sign on 123 south out of Mt Judea that warns of impassable roads. Have fun. We sure did
Stayed here with side by sides to do trail riding. Close to trail that leads to good swimming spots. Cabin loft beds were good, ladder to loft is not necessarily good for small children. Place was clean and supplies were provided. Owner communicated well with us during our stay.
