Very rustic
Clean, comfortable place to sleep. Extremely quiet which we loved. I may have missed it in the description when booking… but the oven was a toaster oven and stove was a hot plate. The refrigerator was a dorm fridge. We brought food to cook and there wasn’t a convenient way to do so. We did leave two nights early to sleep in our own bed. We did read that the pillows were old and flat in a review. They were. I brought my own pillow which made it better.

The place was nice. The hotplate was not working at all and it took an hour to cook four slices of bacon and scramble four eggs. Also bring your own pillows as the pillows downstairs we very old and flat. Everything else was fine!

Cute little place
We chose to stay in a cabin vs renting a hotel room. It was definitely the better decision. We were in town for a wedding in the area. The cabin was clean and had just enough space for our family of 4. The only thing that would have been helpful would be a hook or something to hang clothes. I improvised and it worked out, ok. The girls enjoyed playing, while we sat and had coffee on the porch. It was perfect for what we needed. We would stay again!

Would recommend for a short stay
This place had what we needed for a weekend stay to attend a wedding. It's definitely great for how many beds it had at the price I got it at! The upstairs is a loft. For some reason, I thought it had a full wall closing it off, but it's just a railing, so keep that in mind. I wish I could give 4.5 stars for some minor issues. There was some hair on the sheets on the downstairs bed, there was an iron but no ironing board, the pillows were pretty flat, and the directions to the house were a little confusing. I didn't contact the owner about these things because we figured out solutions on our own - and like I said, they were minor issues - so I'll keep my official rating at 5 stars.

Safari stay
Safari House Very remote, quiet location. It's a windy drive from town, but it's very easy to find. We stayed two nights and the second night the TV would not stay connected to the WiFi. Our phones could connect, but even after disconnecting all devices the TV would cut out after a few minutes and take at least 5 to connect again after getting out of an app. B/c of this, we headed down to propane fire pit, but it wouldn't ignite. We were able to enjoy a quiet night outside. There is a common area parking spot. All four cabins share it so you cannot pull right up to your cabin. The property was very clean and cute. The bathroom had plenty of towels, a mounted shampoo/conditioner dispenser and was clean. The sheets were pretty bad, but if you bring your own you'll be fine. I went with my mom and daughter for a DS/Johnson City girls trip. There was plenty of space for the three of us. All amenities were accurately listed. Recommend!

Cozy treehouse loft, but could use some improvements
Fun family outing - our boys loved the upstairs loft! Nice shared outdoor seating area to read, talk, and play corn hole. Beds were cozy even with the cold outside. The property, especially the bathroom, had unfortunately not been cleaned very throughly. Agree with previous reviewers that the shower head could be improved. We weren’t surprised to have limited cell coverage, but the wifi was very spotty as well. I hadn’t read the listing thoroughly enough and arrived with frozen pizzas, but then discovered there was no oven (my mistake, just a heads up to future guests who might also gloss over the amenities)!

Quaint cozy tree house
The ease of renting and checking in was great. The location was nice- we were looking for a nice break from the city and got just that. I would, however recommend confirmation that there was a working water heater before I rented this cottage again. Three nights of cold weather and no hot water for our family was a challenge after days spent enjoying the outdoors. The office kept us informed that they were trying to get a plumber out but was unable to while we were there.

Close to The Creek Haus wedding venue
Cute little house, no bedrooms. Loft bed upstairs and bed in living room. Shower head needs to be replaced or cleaned only 5 spray holes worked. Bring own coffee supplies. No filters and coffee and creamer out of date. AC difficult to operate and no cell service making communication with owner difficult. If attending a wedding no place to hang nice clothes and no iron. Perfect for alittle get away
