Fun before Thanksgiving

4 adults and 2 young children took a little trip to the woods before heading to family Thanksgiving. It was a great cabin. Beautiful location. Kids loved the wiener roast and the S’mores we made in the fire ring. The weather was cold so it was perfect. We enjoyed the state park near by too. The stairs inside are a little steep for small children but our kiddos did well. It’s perfect for a retreat anytime of the year.

Jeeping times

This property was excellent. After a full day of Jeeping trails, we were able to come back and relax and discuss our day at the large dining table. The view the next day was just as beautiful as our Jeeping trails.

From the pictures, I could tell the property looked nice- but it took my breath away in person! It's a gorgeous, calm, secluded area. The host was so kind and helpful. There's lots of cool places to explore in the area for people of all ages. I'd book this place again in a heartbeat! Thank you to the amazing hosts!!

Cabin

The cabin needed cleaned better it had water bottles and dirt behind the bedroom side dresser and the lock and door handle kept falling off and I fell into a rotted ramp other than that the place was beautiful. And very well stocked I wish they would have had a fan but I bought one and left it for future guests

Idyllic Getaway

Candice communicated promptly with us to let us know how to find the property (which is a bit off the beaten path), how we could reach her, and how we would check in. Right before our original trip date, my whole family got sick with a stomach bug, and Candice helped us reschedule through Vrbo. Thanks to her flexibility and help, we were able to stay and have a wonderful time just a couple of weeks later. The property itself is absolutely gorgeous and well-kept. They thoughtfully provided us with fresh firewood and stocked the kitchen with coffee (genius!). We also had a delicious meal in Heavener on the way out. We will absolutely be returning for another vacation very soon—hopefully for a longer stay!

Secluded Cabin in the woods

The house and property were great in every way, clean, spacious, huge dining room table, sitting areas on back porch and fire pit sitting area on front porch. The cabin sits off the road and is private and secluded. Our group rides UTVs a lot in the CNT trails/Billy Creek area. This was the first time we stayed a little farther away but we were able to make our way over to Billy Creek, up Talimena Drive and back. Next time we hope to find new trails around this cabin. The property manager sent great instructions on check-in/check-out process. Would definitely stay here again.

Close to Talimena Hwy 1. Secluded and fully stocked! Motorcycle friendly -- firmly packed dirt /gravel driveway, but nothing too scary. Will certainly rent again.

Wonderful Stay!

We had an amazing week long visit at this rental! Our family enjoyed endless hiking adventures, listening to the wind through the pine trees and nearby stream, campfires, fishing, corn hole (provided by the owners). The cabin was beautifully decorated and was fully stocked with all the essentials. Candice was quick to respond to any questions we had. Wonderful time had by all and can't wait to come back soon!

Better than listing

A beautiful cabin in a beautiful setting. It was immaculate and kitchen was very well stocked. The bed was very comfortable. We went for the fall foliage but the trees had not changed. Guess we’ll plan for later next time.
