Wonderful Stay

This is an awesome place to stay and was very close to some great hiking. It is in a peaceful location and there wasn't anything that we needed that wasn't provided...even for our dogs. The beds and linens were very comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped. We hope to visit again in the warmer weather and be able to enjoy the outdoor area.

Great Stay

This was a great place to stay! The property was peaceful, clean, and exactly as described—well-stocked, comfortable, and clearly prepared with care. It was the perfect place for a solo getaway with my dog. I especially appreciated the thoughtful touches, including the high-quality linens, helpful instructions, and even items just for the dog.The setting made it easy to unwind, and the attention to detail really stood out. I left feeling refreshed and would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a quiet, well-managed place to recharge. Thank you for sharing your home!

Weekend getaway

Went with my girlfriend for her birthday just to get away and have some peace and quiet. Was very accommodating, clean, nicely isolated. We enjoyed the hike around the property and the night out at the fire pit. Most likely going to repeat this trip annually! Very well enjoyed mini-vacation. Would enjoy an overhead map of property lines and hiking areas

Trail Stop

I met up with a friend walking the AT. It was a perfect little getaway and a beautiful nights’ sleep for both of us! The space is tucked away but easy to find. Very clean and well-appropriated. The hosts are exceptionally responsive and helpful! I will definitely be returning.

Idyllic Location for Family Getaway

A true gem nestled near the Appalachian Trail perfect for family time in mountain country. We had everything we needed to relax and enjoy time together: modern kitchen entities for home cooked meals with a beautiful and relaxing outdoor space that included plenty of comfortable seating, gas grill, lighted patio with a firepit and a covered hammock and swing area with a smoker. When we were ready to venture out, we had our choice of two nearby towns, trails and abundant scenery. Matt & Katie were responsive to amy and all questions though few were asked as they anticipated visitors' needs. We will definitely be back!

Needs some creature comforts.

The place is very clean, on a very nice lot and was well stocked. The problems are not much lighting and what it does have is mainly overhead. Add some lamps. There is ZERO light over the stove which makes it hard to cook when it is dark outside. It also needs more seating. Only 1 couch and 1 chair. It also needs a covered outdoor area for light rain but you still want to be outside. I would stay there again if the updates were made.
