This place was beautiful the kitchen had everything we needed. I would just suggest a little bit more light or brighter light i could barley see when i was cooking it was too dark (we cooked around 7ish) The grill wasn’t really cleaned when we got there but it worked fine. The environment was beautiful and peaceful. I would definitely come back. If you sleep upstairs I would suggest take a thick blanket or a heater it was really cold upstairs despite bringing the temp up! The hot tub was amazing & clean. Everything else perfect & beautiful.

This was a perfect place for our family of 4 (and dog!). The house was very comfortable with great views of the mountains. We appreciated the quiet location and easy access to Dolly Sods. We enjoyed all of the amenities to enjoy the indoor and outdoor spaces: fire pit, corn hole, fireplace, foosball , darts, and hot tub!

We really loved our time here. The hot tub and view were spectacular, and the kitchen had more than we would have needed. The rooms were comfortable, and the host was very responsive and helpful to offer suggestions for things to do. The property felt very private, and was part of a very quiet community. There’s plenty of wood outside by the fire pit for great fires in the evening as you enjoy the sunset after a day of hiking. Overall, I’d happily decide to stay there again.

We stayed 4 nights at Jim's wonderful property! It was secluded which we loved, we saw many many deer, a turkey and some Canadian Geese! The home is filled with so many historical items that were so interesting to see. The kitchen was amazing, great appliances, the pots & pans were great, which isn't always the case at a cabin in our experience. Jim was very responsive to any questions or concerns! We had an absolutely amazing stay and will definitely go again! The cabin is close proximity to all the nearby attractions which is always a plus!
