The cabin was so nice we decided to extend our long weekend getaway. It was well stocked with everything we needed to unplug and relax in nature. The surrounding was beautiful and peaceful. We hope to be back again!

We had a great time at Pine Hill. It was a beautiful home that was clean and very comfortable for our group. It was in a peaceful location that was nestled in between gorgeous town. We enjoyed the hot tub and the grounds every night of our stay. Cell service can be spotty but the WiFi was strong and reliable. Would definitely recommend this home and would visit again.
