Haven - Ridge Road Scenic Cabins - Brimstone Recreation and Big South Fork

10/10 Excellent
"We loved this little cabin and hopefully can return again in the future. The property was very secluded and private as advertised. The indoor photos on the VRBO listing were not up to date but the ones on other rental sites where it is listed were. The bed downstairs was very comfortable. We didn’t use the upstairs so I can’t comment on that bed. There are several great places for hikes in the area but we enjoyed relaxing and bird watching from the enormous deck so much we didn’t leave the property. We also enjoyed relaxing by the pond as well. There was a small grocery store and produce stand about 10 min away that supplied all of our food. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to prepare basic meals and the gas grill on the deck worked well. We really loved that our two small dogs could join us as well. I think they enjoyed the stay even more than we did."
