Beautiful home with mountain view
The home is well kept but does have some creaky floors. They thought of everything that would make our stay comfortable and even left us a little surprise from the garden! It is in the woods so be careful walking. We came home with chiggers! We always enjoy the train ride, but Cherohala skyway was closed due to flooding. If you enjoy hiking and kayaking this is the perfect place to stay!
