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 adorable cabin was a perfect solution to a quiet place but not to far from home. My only frustration was the motion light on the cabin next door. Any small movement triggered the light to come on. And it faced the campfire. Kinda ruining the blaze from the fire. If that light pointed to the rd just a little bit more. This would not have been a issu . I'll be back for sure though
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

Peaceful
Well managed and comfortable.
Easy access to Highways and not far from town.
Nice location on the river
Beds and chairs are bar height. Had to bring porch chairs in for a normal seat. Kitchenette is one hot plate a really small toaster oven and a small microwave. 1 dish rag and 1 dish towel. There were ample bath towels. The location was really nice but won’t stay again. We left a day early it was so uncomfortable.
Everything went nicely, well supplied, quiet. There were 4 cabins and the only thing we didn't know was which cabin was ours...we tried the code they gave us and figured it out.
