Great getaway

This was a perfect getaway for our family of 4. Cozy and very clean, secluded but very close to Crystal Mountain. Great wifi so our kids could do e-learning all week. Kids loved the bunk beds and air hockey and we all enjoyed being in the yard and making smores every night. We hope to come back!

Fantastic cabin close to Crystal Mountain!

We had a great weekend at Amy's cabin. We were able to snowshoe on the property and play air hockey in the basement! The cabin is minutes away from Crystal Mountain and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thanks!

ADORABLE!

This cabin is an absolute gem. My whole family had a ball here. We were able to play outside in the snow and then come in for hot chocolate and family game night. The fact that it was just a minute from Crystal Mountain was FABULOUS! We would love to stay here again.

Magical Cabin in the Woods

This authentic log cabin in the woods is a peaceful retreat yet so close to Crystal Mountain amenities and local breweries and restaurants. The cabin is clean, cozy, and decorated with a cute cabin theme. It’s a wonderful place to get away and relax. Amy is a responsive and great host! We had a wonderful time!

We really enjoyed our stay

This house is in a truly wonderful location with many fun activities in the area. It sits in a quiet, private wooded area. It is clean, spacious and air conditioned. Our kids were so pleased with the basement and the toys that were provided. The kitchen is clean and had whatever we needed. A washer/dryer would've made this place perfect. We would stay here again.

Amy was very responsive to all my questions. The house was exactly as pictured. It was decorated for Christmas with a tree in every room. Very cozy and relaxing. I took my grandparents there for Thanksgiving weekend so they could relax and they were very pleased and impressed!! There was even wood left by the dire pit so my daughter was able to do smores! Definitely recommend!!

Perfect Location!!!!!!

WE had a wonderful time ! Cabin was perfect location. Big enough for our family and had enough room to have our own space. Communication was excellent with Amy. She even let us check in early....(bonus) Cabin was clean and family had a great time exploring the property. We will be back. It was close to Crystal mountain and local winery. We rented snowmobiles, cross country ski.
