Awesome Private Comfortable Cabin

The road/driveway can be a little intimidating at first but it leads to a very beautiful cabin and property. We saw turkeys strutting every morning and there were signs of deer even though we didn't get to see them. The creek is visible from the cabin and adds a peaceful sound to your time outside. The cabin is comfortable and very private. Great place to unplug and get some rest and relaxation. We had a great time there.

This little cabin could not be more perfect! From the incredible sunrise and sunset to the privacy of this adorable holler, we could not have had a better time! The beautiful interior is the perfect combination of rustic and modern, for the ultimate glamorous getaway! The host Craig was super responsive and helpful when I struggled to find it at first (the GPS takes you ~almost~ all the way, he is trying to iron out the wrinkles!) and the little cabin was stocked with plenty of necessities for a quick dinner. The beds are luxurious, the views immaculate, and the amenities (gas firepit, gas woodburning stove) are absolutely the cherry on top. We are already looking for another excuse to go back!
