Absolutely the nicest place I have ever stayed. So cute and clean and well maintained. Lots of little personal touches, and she has just about anything you might need for your trip. We stayed one night, but it would be great for a longer stay. So relaxing after a long day of driving.

It is clear why Vickie and her place have earned the Superhost badge! Our expectations were exceeded, and we loved the clean, cozy accommodations. There were plenty of high-quality kitchen items -- none of the dull knives and scratched-up pans usually found in rentals. There were plenty of towels and common items to make a comfortable stay. Vickie was very responsive to messages before and during our stay. We enjoyed the closeby firetower hike, took a daytrip to Devil's Bathtub, and may someday return to cycle the nearby rail trail to Bristol, TN.

Very cozy and clean

It is definitely a cabin in disguise. From the outside it just looks like a normal home once you step inside it’s completely different it’s a beautiful place to stay very clean Vicke is a wonderful host! She keeps in contact very well and has items stocked that are easily forgotten when packing for a trip. It felt like a home away from home I will definitely be returning thank you again for a wonderful stay Vickie!
