Great vacay with my best friend.

This was a great cabin with comfy beds, plenty of supplies-everything we needed to have a lovely time together. We spent most of the daytime hours exploring Natural Bridge and The Gorge, it was pretty perfect.

Quaint and peaceful! We enjoyed our stay. Stairs to the bed room are steep but we are also are not in our 20's anymore. LOL. Also enjoyed being relatively close to the lake. We would make a return trip!

Really cool cozy place with great comfortable beds. Downstairs living room/kitchen area is well thought out with great burly couches and cool decor. They have a record player with a groovy selection of old Motown/ Bossanova vinyl on hand too! Just fantastic!

Nice quiet place.

We only were here for a short time, mainly for a place to sleep and shower. Beds unfortunately are rock hard (which might be good for someone else), I slept on the downstairs couch the second night. Outside of that, cabin was nice.

Great place to stay for Cave Run

The only thing if I was to complain about was the downed tree that blocked you from making a loop around with my truck and jet ski. I ended up just parking the JetSki at a neighbors house to make it easier. Everything else was great!

A Lovely Getaway Cabin

We loved the cabin. There is a neighbor right across the road but we only saw him the first day. It has a nice mountain setting. We were relatively close to the parks. One disadvantage, the closest food store is a Dollar General. You have to drive over 10 miles to find a real grocery store.

So cute and homey!

We were very happy with the cabin. As soon as we arrived my son's and I were in love with the character of the cabin. It's like a Hansel and Gretel house. And the decor made us feel like we were visiting my grandma's house. Very clean, secluded, well stocked, fun games to play and the tiny little porches upstairs are perfect for coffee. It was so easy to contact them with any questions and they were prompt to reply even though we were there fourth of July weekend.
