Family Time
Great stay with comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen and nice yard area. We enjoyed the large dining table for games. Nice relaxing weekend.
While the listing ended up being true to the basics, a cabin in woods, I was disappointed in a few ways. The biggest issue was cleanliness. While everything seemed quite clean at first glance it wasn't really the case when we got settled in. The bathtub had a number of dead bugs and cobwebs. I cleaned that on my own and filled the tub. As soon as the jets were turned on a large amount of "debris" sprayed from the jets. No tub for this trip then.Aside from the super gross experience of the tub some smaller issues were.Construction type debris under the deck (board, cinder blocks, drainage pipe).Very firm mattressMicrowave turn table didn't spinDishwasher was broken (I was warned about this ahead of time and they were unable to get it fixed before our stay)And overall low quality DIY of the building (duct on and falling off from outdoor outlets who's weather covers were missing, the fire pit about to fall apart and down the hill, spray foam filling moderate gaps in the soffit rather than proper carpentry repairs, deck paint pealing all over)No warning of the very VERY low ceiling for the stairs when going up, only coming back down to they have a kitchy picture of a duck to 'duck' down. I didn't pay a 5 star price but it still wasn't a cheapo kind of price. Thus I don't think it's acceptable to have a rental in this kind of condition.

Mountain Cabin
Susan & Jason’s mountain cabin was absolutely wonderful, we stayed for 4nights & didn’t want to leave! Upon arrival we found it both charming & welcoming. It was our anniversary & our first night was romantic around a roaring fire & listening to the rain. We hope to return soon! Thank you both! Beth & Joel

Beautiful stay <3
Jason and Susan,Thank you so much for letting us stay in your beautiful, tucked away cabin. You have clearly put a lot of work into making this cabin feel like home. We have loved exploring the quiet mountains, valleys, and rivers that the area provides along with some cozy nights in by the backyard fire pit. We can’t thank you enough for providing us with such a lovely little get away. P.s. For anyone looking to get into the mountains or cities, definitely check out Asheville, Knoxville, the Smoky Mountains, and Chattanooga! All approximately a 2 hours drive. With love, Ashleigh and Alex
