If you want to book this cabin at the perfect time, come in late April. The days will be cool enough to comfortably hike the Natchez Trace Trails, the red lilies scattered all around the property will be at their peak, mornings on the screen porch (my absolute favorite spot) will be mild and breezy and bursting with bird songs, and you may even need the gas log fire place for a night or two.
This cabin is aptly called a retreat because you will drive on some little, out-of-the-way country roads to get there, and you’ll be unplugged from wifi the whole time—but everywhere you look, both inside and outside, you’ll see beauty; you’ll enjoy the well-stocked, modern kitchen and the skylights over the dining area; and if you’re a reader you will be IMPRESSED with the thoughtful selection of books on the bookshelves and delighted with all the perfect spots to cuddle up with a book. We really hated to say goodbye.
If you are using Google maps to get there, please note that their very last direction has the cabin on the wrong side of the road—and there is a driveway over there, but it leads nowhere. You will know you’ve found the right entrance when you immediately come through a wide, iron gate (pictured) and see a grassy, landscaped lawn. Also, the mailbox is on the same side of the road as the cabin.
