The best place to stay

My cabin was homey and charming. Everything I needed was right there. The site is comfy and private and that made for a restful stay. This was the second time I have stayed in cabin #1 and hope I can stay there the next time I come to Galax!

Peaceful Respite

We had a great short stay here. It was very quiet and comfortable. It would have helped to have had a chair in the living area to sit in, though. I had great difficulty climbing into the tall bed, so I just slept on the sofa. The interior was spotless, but I felt that the deck could have been swept. We enjoyed staying there, though.

Our 2nd time here and we enjoyed it.

This is the 2nd time we stayed at this cabin. We brought us a box fan because we can't sleep without one but if you didn't have something for noise there is a neighbor dog that barked alot. That's the only negative. Everything else was awesome.
