As posted

Just perfect for 2. Our 2nd stay as we have family near by. Each morning Canadian geese took their morning swim, counted nearly 60 one morning. Minutes to dining and shopping. 15 to 30 minutes to numerous outdoor activities.

Refreshing Retreat

I recently lost my husband and I came here to reflect, pray, wanting to know where God wants me to go from here. I love the water and the fire pit, but most of all, I love the warmth and coziness of this cabin. I spent most of my time inside. It was even nicer than I pictured it. inside

This place is awesome !!! Me and my girlfriend just spent 5 day on the river and we didnt want to go home. The host Roy greeted us and was ultra helpful, he also takes care of the property which was fully equipped with everything, spare towels, napkins, coffee, TP...... He reached out to help but also left us alone (HUGE). We went to Blue Hole waterfall-freezing but you have to go in, the Wilbur Dam-very cool, Worlds Smallest Tunnel in Shady Valley-silly fun, the Cherokee Natl Forest- breath taking, Roy told us about great food and places nearby. Total success of a mountain trip (we live in S.FL) except for the 12 hour drive, but it was worth it, definitely doing it exactly the same next time.

Tennessee 6/24

This is a really nice cabin, immaculately clean and very well-appointed with all the appliances and amenities for a comfortable stay. The mattress was also amazing, better than I have at home. Amazing 65" (I think) TV. Host is very responsive, I appreciated that. I would definitely stay again. I had a hard time finding the cabin, I didn't see any sign by the road, and had to search around. The information that was provided that the cabin was behind the self-storage facility was what finally got me there. When I got there, the cabins were marked 1 through 4, and my reservation didn't say which one was mine, so I had to go cabin to cabin to check the access code on the reservation. Maybe I missed something, would not be the first time. I'd also suggest a small bookcase or shelves below the TV to put clothes on, so guests don't have to work out of their suitcases. And a luggage rack would be nice. I indicate these as constructive criticisms, minor inconveniences, because I really liked, and felt good about, this cabin. Thanks. Tom Parrott

Lovely fishing cabin!!

I will admit we were a little nervous about a few eyesores driving to the cabin. If you can avoid looking at the storage aheds and don't open your eyes until you're on the back deck of the cabin, you'll feel like you have found a romantuc getaway perfect for your husband and the pooch. Perfectlu lovely!
