Cute little cabin! No cell service, but enough to get texts/emails if you walk up the driveway. Plenary of area to walk around and explore. Was perfect for having my dog with me.

It was an absolute amazing stay. Tucked away and secluded with plenty of privacy - but a total clamping experience. My kids and husband loved having the creek at our doorstep every morning. We will definitely return.

Host was very hospitable in getting us set up and showing the site amenities. New fire pit which we put to use. Location close to shopping and right on the Shoal River where we kayaked.
