This was really wonderful! The location is amazing: under 5-10 minutes to so many different hikes, with different route options. One can even walk to the Appalachian trail. Woody gap, Miller’s gap are just nearby, Winfield lake is 5 min away too, and we also loved the hike to Coosa Bald. 15 min drive also takes you to Vogel state park with a ton of other hike possibilities. We loved staying there with our almost-3-year old hiker, and loved saying hello to the horses at the pasture which can be viewed from the house. The house is very comfortable, spotelessly clean and large, and the outdoor spaces and the gas grill are great. Even though there is no central heating, the space heaters work excellent and we were warm in the house (in spite of traveling during a cold snap!) Next time we would like to go to the same place and bring friends, too, since the house is so big and so perfect. Highly recommend!!! This is not the first time we are taking a little trip to the mountains in this area, and this is definitely the best place we stayed! Oh and let me add that the host is excellent and communicates very well and this made our trip super easy. And the complementary cookies were a very nice touch:))
