The cabin is perfect for a getaway! The views are fantastic, the hot tub is magical, the cabin is cozy, comfortable, cutely decorated, and fully stocked. Plus, it's close to Cloudland Canyon. In addition, the host let me shift a day due to very bad weather. I highly recommend.

So happy you enjoyed your stay. It is a truely special property that is enjoyed by all! Be well & happy holidays!
Our Thanksgiving stay at Buzzards Roost was fantastic! The cabin is just as pictured but the pictures don’t really do it justice. It is lovely and shows Jane’s personal touches everywhere. It is very well stocked, even for thanksgiving baking! The views are amazing as is the property. Jane is great communicator and will quickly respond to any need that you might have. We would love to stay again. Thanks Jane!
Very clean and quiet. The view from the back deck was amazing watching the sun rise over the valley. I had a wonderful peaceful sleep out there. Cloudland Canyon hike was beautiful and only a few miles down the road.
Perfect place for peace and quiet. Close enough to go visit sites, but secluded enough to feel comfortable. Needed the time away from chaos. It was perfect. The hot tub was sublime. Will definitely choose to come back.
The cabin was very clean and homey! We very much so enjoyed staying here. Gail was a great host and fast in responding 100% would recommend this cabin if you are looking for a beautiful view for a getaway!
Stayed at the cottage for the gorgeous porch view and close access to Cloudland Canyon park. Enjoyed all the hiking and visited the McLemore lodge for dinner. Great location!
The view out the back of the cabin or off the back porch was spectacular. The cabin was comfortable and clean and had everything we needed. We came to the area for hiking and there are many miles of trails within 10 minutes. We hiked at Cloudland Canyon State Park, the Ascalon trails, and the Zahnd tract — all of these were great. We also found plenty of good restaurants nearby. We would definitely go back.
We travel a lot and stay at many short-term rentals. This is my favorite place so far. We stayed for the 2nd time recently. The view is amazing from the deck and/or hot tub. Everywhere I looked outside there was another conversation area.Inside there are games, books, magazines, TV with Roku and a complete kitchen. The cabin is spotless and the host is accessible. I can't wait to go back!
Good for relaxing and studying and good viewing of mountains
