The property manager was very helpful with any issues we had and quick to respond, even when the issue was something we just overlooked. We enjoyed the house and the outdoor deck is amazing. We also love the amazing walk-in bathroom. If you are looking for a great and spacious place to stay near Taccoa Falls College then I highly recommend staying herw.

The property was lovely. Lots of good space in the home and good exterior space as well. Our kids 6, 4 and 1 had a absolute ball in the upstairs loft and in the backyard with the creek.

Great Memories Made

We enjoyed spending time with our adult children and grand child in your rustic and historical but very well updated cabin. We loved all the extra touches (Christmas decor, laundry, toiletries, blankets, and kitchen supplies). It was nice to slow down and have some good old fashioned fun playing games and doing puzzles.

2nd Family get together here

The farmhouse has welcoming indoor and outdoor spaces for a small family reunion. So nice to have a huge deck, a furnished kitchen, a washer/dryer, 2 bathrooms. The king size master bed was super comfortable. We used all the ac units and fans. We did not run out of hot water. Having a full size fridge beats the hotel suites. Thanks so much!

Lovely and Quaint

The pictures are nice but the property looks better in person. We loved the house with the exception of the draftiness in the living room area. I think if there was a to close it off from the hallway, that it would stay warmer. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would stay there again.

Beautiful and Cozy Historic Cabin

The cabin was so charming and cozy. The beds were comfortable. Just loved how everything was updated, especially the master and both bathrooms. We didn’t end up needing the upstairs single beds. It would be perfect for children but definitely need space heaters up there during the winter. Thanks for sharing your cabin with us!!!
