We arrived with a crew of nine people, ages 2-85, for a long Thanksgiving weekend. We loved it; SUCH a beautiful place! The upper and lower balconies were so, so cool. You can hear the creek flowing just below, you are in the quiet trees up against a magnificent rock wall. We built fires in the huge fireplace which was so cozy! There was room to gather as a group but also quiet spaces to be alone and enjoy nature. No wifi, no cell service, which was incredibly peaceful, yet you can drive a few short miles into town to get service and check your messages if you need to. The decor is unique and perfect! We used the hot tub as well which was amazing. They have Dish network on the main tv, so we found the “fireplace channel” and put it on, and so had the real fire and the tv fire, which was cute! Also, the guys were able to watch a couple of football games. We brought dvds, cards, board games and toys for the three kids. We saw groups of turkeys parading down the road, and a buck in the driveway as well!
A head’s up: Bring firewood and paper/cardboard for kindling if you wish to build a fire- or you can purchase wood in town (it was $6.99 a bundle at the gas station)
Bring plenty of gallons of drinking water and bottles of water, especially if you plan to cook and make daily coffee. If you are looking to cook a lot, you might want to bring an extra sauce pan, skillet or large cook pot for soups. They do have some of these in the kitchen, but just the bare minimum. If you are only a couple, it’s plenty- but if you are a large group wanting to cook big meals, I would recommend bringing along some of those mentioned items. I brought a large cook pot and a potato masher for our Thanksgiving feast, anticipating that it may not have those and I was glad I did!
The bedroom to the side of the main cabin is a very cozy space! If it is cold outside, start the heater up right away to get it nice and warm! That side cabin has no curtains on the windows, so we just hung one of the blankets up on the side facing the main house for privacy.
We would absolutely return to this gorgeous cabin. This is a WONDERFUL getaway haven.
We would highly recommend it!
