Great place!

Great cabin, definitely remote. So if you just want a place to stay and do absolutely nothing but enjoy the sound of nature, this place is it. Would definitely book again.

Beautiful, Clean, Secluded

My family had a lovely time at the property. The children (4 & 6) years old had a delightful sleeping space in the loft. Their grandmother said it was one of the most peaceful places she had ever stayed. All of the rooms were a tad bigger than I thought they would be and the layout of the cabin was very nicely done.

This cabin is off the path that we normally take! It is secluded and beautiful! My children absolutely loved it there! Even rainy and cold we had a great time! It is very clean and the owners are the most awesome people! A must have for people wishing to take a step back and relax! My children ran around the huge property and made all the noise they wanted while laughing and giggling!

Review

Everything was good besides there was a lot of dust and cob webs on the beds. The pond was not able to be accessed to feed the fish and there was no fish in it. The pond smelled awful so every time we went outside it smelled horrible.

Comfortable cabin, peaceful location

This cozy cabin made for an excellent home base during a recent family girls’ trip to the Helvetia and Pickens areas. The large bathroom adequately accommodated three women and was stocked with plenty of towels. Beds were comfortable and dressed with soft linens. We thoroughly enjoyed the cabin’s peaceful and secluded setting, accessed by an easily navigable drive. I appreciated the value of this rental along with the owner’s excellent communication and would not hesitate to stay here again.
