It was the perfect place for our little family getaway for the weekend. Super close to everything but in a remote location that makes you feel 1,000,000 miles away . I highly recommend.

The cabin itself was nice and had all the necessities. My husband and I recommend an upgrade of the mattress in the master bedroom; the softness of the current one left me with a backache and him a little stiff. We truly enjoyed the mountain view, and the proximity to other mountain attractions.

Our family of 3 loved the quiet and peace of this tranquil paradise. It was very clean and had everything we needed. We enjoyed birding, relaxing on the front porch, and getting sweet visits from local dogs and cats. It was great being so close to Boone and Elk Knob while also feeling very private. We will definitely stay here again!
