Quiet Getaway

We came for the long weekend and found the house to be perfect for the 4 of us. It was cozy and had everything we needed. Access to the river was key. We liked being able to take a short walk and see the ice/slush and take in the views. The area was so quiet and perfect for a family getaway.

Family fun

We really enjoyed our time at the cabin. We brought family in from out of town and enjoyed the mountain life. We had a great time going to Starlight Mountain Theater and walking Crouch farmers market. We built a fairy garden outside under the trees and enjoyed the view. We do wish there was a grill onsite or access to something to cut wood for the fire.

This cabin will make you want to own your own cabin!

It was a beautiful cabin in a great location, short walking distance to the river. Room for the kids to play. They also have a washer and dryer that you can use and also dishes and cooking pots and pans. We have four kids so that was a big plus! It rained one day and there was plenty to do inside too (games, toys for the kids, and a TV and DVDs). The outside fire pit was great because they had hotdog cookers ready for use, which was great because I forgot mine. I'd definitely recommend this cabin to anyone and hope to plan another vacation here again! Really all you need to bring his food, because they have everything else!
