Ideal location in the heart of Jackson County. This was our second visit, and it was just as lovely this year as it was last year. The cabin is spacious yet cozy, and is a perfect place to settle in after a day of hiking and sightseeing. Everything is provided for a comfortable and enjoyable stay.

Place was clean. Cabin was as described. However, I wish the hot tub wasn’t on the front porch. There are no obstructions between this cabin and the owners. Was expecting a little more isolation. But overall the cabin was very quaint and comfortable.

Wonderful vacation spot

The cabin was very clean and absolutely beautiful. Property was very quiet even with two other cabins near by. I would most definitely stay here again. Cabin was big enough for my family of 5 but would be good as well for a couple.
