We thank you for staying with us and hope to see you in the future.
The property was great, very relaxing and peaceful. The property was clean and well stocked with needed items. The only thing that could have made out stay better, the driveway was a little rough, the master bedroom does not have an available closet, and the surrounding area has no cell service, but I would do it again. Our family really loved the atmosphere and the cabin was very nice.

Shadows Nest is in a really great spot. Close to Helen and a lot of other towns. It was very clean and cozy. Also liked that it was not a steep driveway to get to.

Stayed here with our daughter, son-in-law, and 2 grandkids. As advertised, plenty of beds for us all, ample room elsewhere. Didn’t get to enjoy the front and back porches, weather turned to cold to sit outside, but would have been really nice too otherwise. We will definitely try and book again, next time we are in the area.
