Great, quiet getaway

Ours was just a quick trip, but we still were able to see Natural Bridge, the Safari Park, and spend a day hiking and on the river. The little cottage in the woods had everything we needed and we are already talking about returning in a different season.

Just what we needed

My brother and I work a lot and do not get to spend a lot of time together so this trip ended up being exactly what we needed. The trip timing could not have been worse but it all worked out thanks to the great hosts Mitch and Bobbie. We went during Hurricane Helene so like I said not the best timing on our part. First, I want to say that Mitch offered to refund me all of my money back because of the storm but I refused the offer because I so badly wanted to go. We got to the cabin which is exactly as described but there was a tree down blocking the road. No big deal we broke some limbs and went on through. Not long after getting to the cabin Bobbie called to check on us and to make sure we got there safely-how sweet. Then I told her about the tree and the next day (keep in mind this was in the middle of Hurricane Helene) the tree was all taken care of. This is not the place to go if you are looking for a spa hotel but if you want some good hiking, relaxation, fishing, and just "old days fun" this place is like heaven. There is also a book that lists all the fun things to do in the area. I will say Dragon's tooth is close by as well as other great hiking options for all skill levels. Will definately book again(even during a storm) because a wonderful host will make any trip seem amazing.
