Perfect family trip!

We were stunned with how perfect this cabin was for our family trip! Excellent location on the river! We had so much fun fishing every single day and loved how we could walk down the path and tube back to the cabin. This cabin has everything you need and more and it checked off all our family vacation needs and wants. We had such an amazing and memorable trip. The hosts, Kim and Chad, are so kind, very responsive, and helpful. We cannot wait to come back!

View to Lose Yourself

We stay for 6 days. Home was beautiful and spacious. Right on the River, which was stunning. The home is in a great community with wildlife everywhere. Walmart and stores are close by and easily accessible. The kids and adults loved the pool table and game room. We would gather in the evenings around the wood burning fireplaces and listen to the water. Highly recommend staying here. Owners were very responsive and worked to make are stay the best.

Large group had a great weekend

Cabin and views of the stream are top notch. Everything was in good working order, easy to enjoy. Navigating to and from the cabin is quite difficult. Highly recommend arriving in daylight and following the text instructions they provide. Roads are very steep and narrow so go slow

Beautiful home on the creek

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home. The host was very responsive throughout the process of booking and after our stay. The home was very clean and stocked as mentioned in the description. Our favorite part of the house was the outdoor fireplace which we used nightly to make s’mores and we also enjoyed the game room. It was nice for my girls to have their own space and they loved the game table that was loaded with many games to play. We enjoyed the sound of the creek as we sat by the water in the afternoon. Would definitely recommend this home!

Perfect Mountain House

This house is awesome, and so spacious, It sits right in a creek that the kids had a blast tubing down. It is a 25 minute trip up the mountain and parts are just a little two rut bumpy road, but once you reach the home, you will not be disappointed. There was plenty of parking, seating and sleeping. The game room was a huge hit. This host has thought if everything.

Wedding weekend

Our stay was for my son’s wedding and the cabin and property owners made our celebration memorable. Kim was so accommodating and helped me with even my stress of wedding duties. I can’t say enough good about the treatment we received and the cabin itself was beautiful and a relaxing retreat which helped make the wedding so enjoyable. Thank you Chad and Kim. We would love to visit again in the near future.

The rushing river, a hail storm, wood fires and big meals!

We loved our stay. The constant hum of Mountaintown Creek just across the street was a source of calm for us. We swam in the river and found the sandy bottom and a decent current. We swam in place with the current. Cool! Next time, we'd bring tubes, more firewood. The owners were so communicative, which I really appreciated. Fabulous!

Great Family Getaway

We have stayed in many vacation homes, but hands down this stay has been 5 stars. From the moment we checked in until the check out process which this rental made so easy. The home is gorgeous, spacious and very comfortable. But for us it was the amazing little touches like a card for my 86 year old dad's birthday, pump soap- ok sorry but huge win for me...every luxury. And yep...I played games! Huge fun!!! Thank you so much for a weekend we will not forget!

Relax and unplug

This was a first staying in the mountains for my grown family. My husband and our 3 sons ages 23, 21. and 18 and one girlfriend of theirs, had the most relaxing and amazing time. it truly was a breath of fresh air being away from the go go go life we all live. The guys fished all the time caught over a dozen and released, we walked about 10 minutes down the beautiful trail and hopped on our river tubes and it was perfect! we did it over and over! hot tub nights with the boys all reminiscing about the past, cook outs on the grill, literally baked a pie in the oven! the house is stocked wonderfully with all you could need! movies at night all together and campfires every night! it was one of our best family vacations ever! ❤️

Making lasting memories

My whole family had an awesome weekend making memories and celebrating my husband’s 70th birthday. The constant sound of the river was amazing. My grandchildren spent all day tubing and swimming in the river. The cabin is fabulous, very spacious and comfortable. The bedrooms and bathrooms are beautiful with wonderful views from the bedroom decks.The bunk beds and game room were a big hit with the children as were the fire pit and pool table with the adults. Kim, the host was in communication regularly and answered questions quickly. She also sent a link to a guidebook for the cabin and surrounding areas which I was able to share with the other guests, full of information regarding our stay. My husband was most appreciative of the unexpected birthday card and gift that was left for him by the host. The cabin definitely exceeded our expectations, we would most definitely like to return at a future time.

Great spot! Great Trip.

This is one of the nicest cabins we’ve ever stayed in. The entire experience was great. The owners clearly care for this property and work hard to ensure everything is perfect. The amenities are top notch - higher end appliances, great furniture, plenty of chairs outside, nice hot tub, plenty of kitchen pots/pans utensils, large bathrooms, etc. it literally had everything we needed for two families (4 adults and 4 children). They have covered all the details. The view from the cabin is gorgeous. The bedrooms are very large, and each bedroom has its own large bathroom. Perfect layout for families. The kids had the entire downstairs to themselves, and it is huge. We loved having so many activities for the kids. The infinity game table, pinball machine, pac-man, and Golden Tee were so fun. The adults played a lot of pool after the kids went to bed. The fire pit by the river was relaxing. We would love to come back during the summer months. We loved this place. Potential Improvements: They need some new/better pots and pans in the kitchen. The towels were scratchy. But that’s about it. Know before you go: The Coosawatte River Resort is massive. You are 20 minutes from anything, literally. Plan accordingly. The roads are narrow and winding. The cabin is really off the beaten path. The paved roads turn into gravel roads, and the path to the cabin is a single lane remote path right beside the creek. It’s not convenient, but it is secluded and beautiful!
