Absolutely beautiful! Melton’s View has to be the cleanest cabin we have ever stayed in and we have stayed in quite a few in the area! Janice had it ready for everything we would need except our food. She is a perfect hostess! Knowing the cabin was reconstructed from an 1861 Tennessee cabin just made our stay even more memorable! It is very secluded and private which is a big plus!

Th cabin is beautiful and very private. Our only regret is we were not there in the fall when it’s cooler as the heat and humidity was oppressive and we couldn’t enjoy the beautiful deck. The host was very responsive and helpful. It was easy to find. The kitchen was very clean. We enjoyed having the Keurig was very helpful. The living room furniture was very comfortable. We got to see a bear in the trees eating. Our moments were with the upstairs king bed as it is really extra firm and one of the blinds needs replacing as it let in the sun each morning at 6:30. There is a Roku TV that we were not familiar with so we couldn’t watch TV or the World Cup as it demanded signing into whatever station you wanted so we had a lot of quiet time. Other than those three things we had a great time.
