We loved our girls trip to the Unforgettable. The host was very responsive and provided detailed instructions and directions. The home was unique and tidy. The deck was perfect for relaxation. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

Very unique and peaceful home. One for the bucket list. The house sits atop a huge hill and is quite remote, so more ideal for an active family. The pond was plentiful and my son really enjoyed the catch/release fishing. The beds were comfy though make sure you bring a sleep mask since there is no way to cover the windows. The house was well stocked with kitchen items, games, tv etc. Don't let all the scary talk about the internet dissuade you. We had excellent service there (Verizon). Also, Waze was a reliable app to navigate to the property. We took day trips into Grayson Highland State park and there are several beautiful golf courses close enough by that my sons and husband also enjoyed. The house would benefit from an outdoor hose. Since we brought our dogs and they don't always understand how to stay out of any mud, it would have been helpful. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

The geodome was absolutely beautiful, cozy, and incredibly clean. We loved the privacy, the trails, the pond, and especially the hot tub under the stars. It was such a special experience.

Everything felt so peaceful and thoughtfully put together, and we are already talking about how much we would love to come back. Thank you again for sharing such a wonderful place with us!
