Beautiful cabin and Pamela was a wonderful and friendly host!! She was very responsive and answered us back very quickly. The cabin is pretty and was set up well with everything needed for a comfortable stay. The added bonus of spotting five deer, hummingbirds and lots of other birds from the deck was awesome! We highly recommend staying here!

Pam was the best host ever and I’ve stayed at a lot of places! Her cabin is cozy, clean, and lovely! She even provides 2 bottles of wine! No one does that! I slept downstairs which is a great space and so cozy! My bed was super comfy! Plenty of kitchen utensils, dishes, pots and pans! She even supplies body wash, shampoo, and conditioner. The ping pong table was fun! Pam responded quickly to all questions and inquiries! I highly recommend Pam’s cabin!

Our purpose for staying in this area was twofold; To spend time with friends and to enjoy a quiet and peaceful retreat away from the daily grind. During our stay, my husband and I enjoyed mountain views, exuberant fall colors, warm days and cool nights and daily walks through all that nature had to offer. This was a great place to immerse yourself and unwind. The accommodations met, and in some instances, exceeded our expectations. The cabin was clean, spacious and comfortable. Plenty of outdoor seating areas on the property along with a firepit. We enjoyed the views from both the front and back covered porches. Our host was very nice, easy to communicate with and responded quickly to messages. The caretakers of the property lived nearby and if there was anything we needed they graciously provided. People in the area were very friendly. There is a variety of restaurants in town if you want to eat out and numerous shops to peruse. This is a place we would love to return to in the future.
