So relaxing!

This little cabin is perfect for unplugging and relaxing. It’s RIGHT on the river! We enjoyed the front porch swing and the hot tub! There are plenty of things to do nearby if you decide to leave, but there’s no need to because there is everything you could possibly need in this cozy little place!💚

Great cabin, great location

This was probably one of the best equipped cabins we have stayed in. Everything is in and so tastefully decorated. You can hear the rushing river whether you are inside, sitting on the screed porch or by the fire pit. We also appreciated all the little extras in the kitchen and the rooms. We had everything we needed and more. The beds are very cozy and the blackout curtains ensured a good night's rest. Everything was really great and we enjoyed our time so much. Cozy evenings by the fire pit were very memorable. We will definitely be back for another visit!

This place was a fantastic escape from reality. Although we only had one full day, I plan to book a longer stay soon. We loved having breakfast on the porch while listening to the river. The hot tub was perfect with the night breeze, and we enjoyed lunch by the fire pit in the afternoon. Everything was clean, and the host promptly answered all of my questions within minutes. I highly recommend this place!

Beyond Expectations!

Ami has done an amazing job with this property! All finishes, furniture, the grill and all accessories are top notch. The hot tub was perfect (2-person). We loved the outside fire pit on the river and the frontage was so relaxing. We frequent many different VRBO's and can say Ami went above and beyond with her "borrow basket," starter coffee and spice cabinet. This relatively tiny home packs a punch! We immediately tried to book our next trip before we left, but our dates were booked already, which isn't a surprise. We will try to book again for the next time we travel to the area.

About the host

Hosted by Ami Pierce

Host profile image
Hi, I’m Ami Pierce. I live in Atlanta, GA with my partner Casey and his daughter. I am an avid traveler and have visited 53 countries and counting. Thailand is next on the list at the end of the year.

I’m also incredibly passionate about designing and building beautiful homes. It was a hobby for most of my life until I realized it could be my career. I recently hung up my hat in corporate to become a full time entrepreneur. My first venture has been to completely renovate our family cabin and offer it to rent for my guests. It is such a magical destination and I’m so excited to get to share it with others. Getting to hear people’s excitement during and after their stay fills me with so much joy. I imagine it’s kind of like how an artist feels when someone is touched by their work.

Why they chose this property

This neighborhood is pure magic - truly! When I bought it I had just taken on a big role at my former company and I would get so stressed during the week. I could feel the tension melting the moment I drove into the neighborhood. It’s instant stress relief and relaxation. It’s also pretty spectacular to have a home that’s only 50 feet from the water. They don’t let you build them that close anymore so I jumped at the opportunity while it was there. :-)

What makes this property unique

My property is unique because it’s a cabin in the woods with a modern design flair. Most cabins are rustic and full of wood. Not mine - it is bright and is designed with the intent of allowing you to take in the river and beautiful views of nature from every corner.

It’s also unique because I designed and built it from my imagination and selected each piece of furniture and art based on how I wanted people to feel in the space.

I do hope you’ll come experience it. I know you’ll love it!
