I loved the beautiful cabin with two full bedrooms with closets and a full equipped kitchen and lovely bathroom and living room and dining room table. Looks newly renovated. They thought of everything to make guests happy. The welcome center looked new with beautiful open layout with new pool table , fishing poles , different games and activities. I Also loved the porch overlooking the creek and mountains! Absolutely gorgeous and very well maintained. I will definitely be back for another getaway. It’s absolutely gorgeous out there!

PERFECT

We stayed in Oak Cabin & it was perfect (except we didn’t get a fire starter this time & I am terrible at building a fire). The building is sturdy & offers warmth or cool, depending on when you are there. There are fire pits all over so you can enjoy your own company. There beds were comfortable, the decor was cozy. All utensils needed are available. The sound of Pine Creek flowing is relaxing. Only disappointment (which was totally tolerable) was that I wanted a T-shirt from the Welcome Center, but had no idea how to unlock the cabinets to get one. Otherwise, this place is absolutely top notch. I booked the main cabin for October & have decided that even if I don’t find 15 other people to join us, we are still going to stay there!

Absolutely beautiful well maintained facility. I’ve never stayed at a place this clean. Staff was great and everything was easy. Only thing and they can’t control was the road it was on and middle of the night traffic. They have really good windows, so as long as windows are shut, it’s not bad.

We feel like we hit the jackpot with this gem! Suite 7 was absolutely perfect for my husband and I and our dog. Spotless, excellently stocked, modern and a great set up. The owners have thought of every possible thing you could want or need. The grounds were beautifully kept with so many amenities, we used the hot tub multiple times We are already planning on going back with a group of friends! Oh and the price is so affordable. Thanks for a great little get away!

The place is on the busy highway so that it gets noisy. Also there is no room service or linen service. You have to bring your own or pay extra for linen and towels.
