The cabin was neat and clean and it had anything that yu could need. The decor was wonderful. Nola was a great host. It is in a very pretty place in the woods. Being up high you felt like you were in the tree canopy like a bird!

I am so impressed with this property! The central cabin for guests to borrow movies or games from was amazing, I’ve rented a lot of cabins but have never seen this feature. The most organized movie library ever! Each cabin has a fire pit with chairs and wood. It isn’t city living, expect some bugs and dirty cars but focus on what this couple has created in the middle of rural mountains. There is nothing like sitting in the hot tub and soaking in such natural beauty. Having family in the area, we will only be staying here whenever we visit.

Great Weekend Getaway
My Daughter, husband, and I came here to get away for the weekend and reboot. This was a wonderful place to do so. We enjoyed reading, playing games, watching a movie, making a fire in the fire pit, and the hot tub! Our hosts were wonderful and accommodating, we can’t wait to come back!

No water No power
We should have been told that there was no water before we arrived. That was really unfair to us when Brain and Nolia knew it before we got there. I thought that was unfair knowing we had kids girls at that. We had to use buckets of water to flush the toilet I’ll never return and I will tell all my friends and family. They should have told us there’s no water I told them when I left home til the time I got there. That really hurt my spirit but God made it better. We end up leaving early and went to Wilderness Resort.

Perfect place for a guy's trip
Cabin was perfect for us. My buddies and I go to Tellico Plains every November to camp, but this year the weather was looking a little too cold to camp outside, so we decided to get a cabin. This was close enough to Bald River Falls, so we could do all the things we normally did on our trips.
