Crows Nest in mid-July

Great spot, very cool cabin! Convenient to many great locations: Dolly Sods, Seneca Rocks, Spruce Knob etc. Only downside was that the neighbors down the road are a little loud. The gravel road in got a bit washed out in the storm, so 4WD is recommended

The Crow's Nest was beautiful and very clean and peaceful! We spent a lot of time in front of the firepit in the very comfortable chairs and even watched a movie on the tv one night which was a fun extra added to the off-grid cabin. It wasn't overly sunny the few days we were there but the solar power held up for the duration of our stay. We'd absolutely stay there again!

Everything was just as advertised. Lovely little place to get away. Very quiet, no noise or light pollution. Lots of window, that made for a very nice breeze all night, and so many stars you could see from bed. Overall if you are looking for a rustic getaway, you would be hard pressed to find a better place.

Loved the cabin, everything was perfect except for total lack of wi-fi which was a big deal to the kids. The tv was w/out wi-fi as well and therefore of no use at all. In spite of this we would consider going back as it was everything a kid could want all up in the air and everything.

Cozy quiet place to get away and be near Seneca Rocks

Rustic but new, clean and comfortable place to stay that was very quiet and removed from only other rental along the gravel road. Outhouse was very clean, no bugs, and easy to use despite needing to go outside to the corner of the cabin. Hosts very responsive and helpful, would stay again. I would note that the Wifi is on the weaker side but I was able to do everything I needed.

Lovely quiet stay in the mountains!

This was a lovely retreat up in the mountains on the winding road to Spruce Knob. We enjoyed the grill and fire-pit very much! We were a little confused about the inverter for power which was off when we first arrived. My partner is familiar with the device and it was a simple push-button reset, but I wouldn't have been sure on my own. The wifi worked great, and thank you for the 'pro-tip' on where to get best service! Attending a class session wasn't what I *wanted* to do on vacation, but I'm glad I was able to do it by a cozy fire in such a beautiful place!! :-D

Make sure you’re extra prepared

Even though we did enjoy our stay a few things I think need noted for the next people who stay! There is a bad and problem, even without using the lights we did not have enough solar power for our two night stay, the WiFi does not work and not enough water is provided for a two night stay. The location itself is amazing the property is really neat but I would just come prepared with more power banks and do not expect any WiFi. Also bring an umbrella if it’s supposed to rain if you need to use the outhouse in the middle of the night!

We have been having some issues with ants but we are aware of the problem and are treating for them. Solar power does vary if you are running the tv, fridge, plugging devices into the wall, and also trying to use lights it will most definitely suck the battery down. The WiFi does work OUTSIDE of the cabin. You can use the wifi on the balcony and also at the patio of the cabin. Due to the tin it does block off signal inside of the cabin. Water is provided at the cabin. We leave gallon jugs located under the sink usually we leave 2-3 gallon jugs under the sink along with a 3 gallon water jug with a spout on top of the sink. As for rain that is beyond our control and no we do not provide umbrellas.
