The cabin and property are beautiful and they are making even more improvements. Was an easy and beautiful drive to the Cherohala Skyway which was the reason for the trip. The hot tub was very relaxing and clean. And the provided firewood for the fire pits was much appreciated.

We enjoyed all the art touches. Conveniently located and felt like we were the only people there. The only drawback was access (stairs) But wouldn't keep us from booking again.

Amazing vacation!
I definitely think that the place was better than the pictures, the only thing I had to complain about was the toilet and the shower would make a loud high pitched noise for a little bit. Besides that the cabin was very cozy and relaxing!

I am so impressed with this property! The central cabin for guests to borrow movies or games from was amazing, I’ve rented a lot of cabins but have never seen this feature. The most organized movie library ever! Each cabin has a fire pit with chairs and wood. It isn’t city living, expect some bugs and dirty cars but focus on what this couple has created in the middle of rural mountains. There is nothing like sitting in the hot tub and soaking in such natural beauty. Having family in the area, we will only be staying here whenever we visit.

Great Weekend Getaway
My Daughter, husband, and I came here to get away for the weekend and reboot. This was a wonderful place to do so. We enjoyed reading, playing games, watching a movie, making a fire in the fire pit, and the hot tub! Our hosts were wonderful and accommodating, we can’t wait to come back!

No water No power
We should have been told that there was no water before we arrived. That was really unfair to us when Brain and Nolia knew it before we got there. I thought that was unfair knowing we had kids girls at that. We had to use buckets of water to flush the toilet I’ll never return and I will tell all my friends and family. They should have told us there’s no water I told them when I left home til the time I got there. That really hurt my spirit but God made it better. We end up leaving early and went to Wilderness Resort.

Perfect place for a guy's trip
Cabin was perfect for us. My buddies and I go to Tellico Plains every November to camp, but this year the weather was looking a little too cold to camp outside, so we decided to get a cabin. This was close enough to Bald River Falls, so we could do all the things we normally did on our trips.

Beautiful little hideaway
This rental was exactly what we needed, secluded, comfortable and the hot tub was amazing in the evenings and mornings. It had everything we needed, the check in was simple and we even decided it stay an extra day! It was the perfect place to let all the daily stress go. The owner Brian was very responsive when we asked to stay the extra day, he answered messages within minutes. We will be back! We are already searching for convenient dates to bring our sons.

Great little private cabin & campground
Absolutely loved our stay!! Great communication with the hosts and they made check in really easy for us as we were getting in late. Nice and secluded feel, all the things you could want in a cabin and then some. Comfortable beds, great kitchen for the size, I really couldn't have asked for anything more. We had one small issue that we talked with Nola about and she was very understanding and graceful about it, outstanding customer service by these folks! Thank you for making my birthday weekend a great one, we will definitely be back!

Birthday fun!
We stayed at the cabin with four teenagers to celebrate a 13th birthday. The property the cabin sits on is beautiful! The cabin is clean and had everything we needed. It was a short drive to Webb Brothers to go tubing down the river! Brian told the boys where a cute little swimming spot was. Great hosts, and we hope to come back next year! This place would be really cool for a family reunion with the different cabins on the property.

Favorite cabin stay!
This cabin was better in person which is usually the opposite of what you expect from photos! It had everything we needed as far as towels, pots and pans, utensils, and more. Even the fridge was stocked with some condiments! I like that Brian greeted us when we arrived and took us to the property. He showed us how to use the hot tub and door lock. As can be seen from photos, there are a lot of stairs so if you have a hard time getting around keep that in mind. However, I liked the “treehouse” feel of the cabin so didn’t mind the stairs at all. My favorite thing to do was sit on the porch in the mornings and evenings and listen to nature. It was so peaceful! We made a fire in the pit, I loved that wood was provided and a bucket for water to extinguish it. When it rained we would get a movie from the office and sit on the cozy couch to watch. The kids enjoyed climbing to the loft and also enjoyed playing cards that were available in the desk. They also loved sleeping in the bunk beds. We all used the hot tub every day, it was so nice to have! The area was remote but we had plenty of close things to do which we chose hiking and rafting the Hiwassee, both of which I highly recommend! We all loved this cabin, it’s coziness and uniqueness. We were all sad to have to leave. Book it, you won’t be disappointed!

Beautiful property in the woods!
Beautiful property in the woods! We had a short stay and was practically only here to sleep since we were visiting family but we’d love to come again to enjoy the property more! We were able to enjoy the hot tub but unfortunately not the fireplace this time. They did have logs and kindle available to help start a fire though! The upstairs loft is romantic with little lights along the top so perfect for a couple! There is a long ladder though to get to the top so this place may not be best if you have a toddler that wants to try and climb it! Another thing is that they only have one AC unit so you have to keep the door open to the one and only bedroom on the main floor if you want it to reach that room otherwise it gets too warm (they do have a fan in that room though). Definitely recommend!
