Starlink internet available for wifi and the Smart tv in the living room. Roku tvs are in both bedrooms for streaming.
The downstairs bedroom features a king sized bed with a hallway bathroom. The downstairs bedroom, bathroom and hallway are divided from the main living area with sliding/privacy doors so it feels like a master suite area.

The drive to the cabin is a one lane road with a somewhat steep incline into the driveway. Four-wheel-drive is not required, but is advised. Experienced motorcyclists only.
Guests looking to store a boat or motorcycle trailer are welcome to use a community parking area that is marked just as you enter "The Pines" community but before you start up the hill to the cabin.

There is a sweet spot for cell service in an emergency at the Teaberry Campground located at the bottom of the hill by the entrance to 'The Pines' community.

Had a great time, small amounts of animal hair found on furniture but thats expected in a pet friendly place!
Enjoyed the pool table and the hot tub! Also dod some vreat hiking!
Great cabin! Little hard to find and the driveway needs some maintenance but once we got there we didn’t want to leave. Super clean and exactly as described. The fire was easy to set up with the dry wood they provided and we enjoyed watching it from the hot tub. The stars were amazing. Had a big thunderstorm roll through while we were there and it was great! We will definitely be back

Great Cabin just needs to be cleaned better.
The sheets in the master bedroom were not clean. The upstairs murphy bed didn't have sheets or covers at all. The up stairs pool table area flood was sticky. And the whole cabin smelled like weed!! Other than the cleanliness of the cabin, we enjiyed our stay.
Overall the cabin was nice. We loved the location. We do have some observations.
1. The hot tub was very dirty. When we turned the jets on, it foamed up very badly. The jet would not turn off so we had to turn the breaker off.
2. While most surfaces and furniture were clean, there was a lot of dust and dirt on ceiling fans, curtails, blinds etc….
3. The shower curtain in the main bath does not fit. It was so large it was hard not to step on it.
This cabin had a great view and was located in a nice, quiet neighborhood. It came with anything we could need and we really enjoyed our stay here. Secluded and comfortable. Would def book again!
Cabin was nice and in a private location. The hot tub was our favorite part, but everything was great. The bed was so comfy! The best sleep I’ve ever gotten.
I'm a teacher in an elementary school and wanted to get away for a few days over spring break. This little cabin was the perfect quiet escape that I needed to relax. The inside was cozy and comfortable, and the outside offered some privacy due to its location, though you could see some of the other cabins, it still had that remote feeling. I'd be willing to bet that if I had gone in late spring or summer while the leaves were on the trees, I would have felt totally secluded. I had some trouble getting the hot tub to operate correctly, but when I called, the staff was able to walk me through the process of getting it reset and everything was fine after that. I brought my dog with me on my trip and we were just a short drive away from several locations that had walking trails. I would stay here again, and enjoy more of what the area has to offer.

Motorcycle Getaway
Cute little house just as the pictures showed, however I would not say this was motorcycle friendly property. Very steep incline up the driveway that was very rough with half rocks and half concrete. If you are traveling with four wheel drive then this is the place for you. Very peaceful and a quiet getaway.
