We had a wonderful family get-away for Spring Break with our family of four. If you are looking for a place to stay that is close to the hiking trails, this cabin will not disappoint. The owners had thoughtful treats and extras in the kitchen and bathrooms, including plenty of soap, tp, snacks, and coffee pods. We enjoyed the hot tub each night after hitting the trails and also played corn hole on the provided boards. The only thing that could use improvement would be having a dishwasher, but we made due with the provided paper plates and washing pans by hand. There were no last day instructions for laundry, trash, or stripping beds, so it made for a quick goodbye on our last morning.
The closest trail, Ash Cave, is approximately 10 miles away. The drive takes a little longer than expected due to the curving up-and-down roads. The rest of the trails are in a 15-20 mile proximity of each other. We joked it felt like we were driving in Mario Cart. Bring your Dramamine if you get car sick. The amazing scenery and waterfalls make it all worth it. We hiked the gorge trails of Ash Cave, Cedar Falls, Old Man’s Cave, Whispering Cave, Conckles Hollow, the Rock House, and Cantwell Cliffs in 2 days with an 11 and 14 year old. The owners had maps of the trails and brochures of all the local attractions in a big binder, which was as a great resource.
