Perfect spot for my wife and I to stay while visiting some family! Quiet, clean, spacious! More amenities than you’ll even need and the view from the cabin was really nice. Highly recommend when you’re in the area and hope it’s available the next time we come down!

The tater top hut was the perfect place for myself, my husband, and my 12 year old mini schnauzer to stay for a couple of nights. The hut and property were just enough out of town to enjoy the peace and wilderness, but still a small drive to do anything you wanted. It is a true small home with everything you may need and the hosts are just the sweetest! We had so much fun on our little get away, thanks Crystal & Matt!

Nice, cozy getaway.

This place is perfect for any folks wanting to get a relaxing stay but still have a closeness to the city. I was close to enough to visit the Space Center, Monte Sano(great place to hike and play disc golf), check out the comic book stores, and have a variety of restaurants. Next visit, I will eat at some of the more local establishments near Gurley.
