Our cabin was wonderful! The layout, the comfortable king beds, the 4 bathrooms, the extra long table for Thanksgiving, the amount of parking spaces, the large tv for the Ohio state rivalry and the Alabama rivalry games, and the lovely mountain decor made for a great family holiday. Thank you so much!

The cabin was very clean and very well updated. She was very responsive for the very minimal things we brought up. Beds were so comfortable and made the stay so much better. Walking around and then getting a great night sleep was amazing.

First time our large family has been on vacation and not been cramped. Plenty of room for everyone! We had 7 adults and 4 kids (5 and under) - and found the space to be perfect for us. It was clean, check-in was easy and our host was quick, accommodating and helpful. Close to everything, but far enough to enjoy nature and the quiet side of things.

Really enjoyed ourselves in the quiet environment. Made many memories together.Our last day was uneventful. My nephew put all of his clothes and his wife’s clothes in the back of the truck in a black bag and the bears took them. So remember to lock your doors and don’t put anything in the back of your truck.

Cabin is as listed and was very comfortable for all 11 of us. Beds were comfortable and cabin was clean. The only suggestions that I would offer (these are just suggestions related to our crew of 11) would be to have a fridge with an ice maker, maybe a large pot to make soups/chili etc in, cookie sheets, larger cutting board, (we did buy a knife and left for other guests in the future to use), and more containers for trash to be put in. With a large group as ours, we needed more room for disposal. As I said, these are only suggestions. The cabin is located in a good place, close to everything. The grocery store was minutes away and very convenient. The cabin was cozy and welcoming. On the last night we did have a bear for a visitor. Good to see from afar. Communication with host was spot on, got responses quickly. I would defiantly like to stay again in the future and will recommend to family and friends. Thanks for hosting and letting our family stay at your place!

Nice location just outside downtown.

Nice location not far from downtown. Road to get into neighborhood is steep, motorcyclist beware. House was nice and big with 3 levels. Views were ok with mature trees in the area. Parking was good with 3 driveway spots and 1 or 2 on street in front. Beds were very comfortable and everything was clean.
