Getting into the property was a bit long. Takes a while to get from the gate to the cabin. Almost 10 mins. So make sure you get all your groceries beforehand so you don’t have to be going in and out of the property. Once we made it into the cabin, we looked around to make sure all was good and all was good at first glance. We noticed a half cigarette on the pool table.. the pool table itself was tilted so any hopes of a game were shot. Ping pong table was great except we had to place it on top of the oool table. Anyway the title of this review is the flying squirrel. Wasn’t a huge deal but freaked everyone out specially having a small dog. We thought it was a rat at initial glance so that was unsettling. We eventually got it out through the downstairs door after it ran around the second floor. The smoke pit is communal which wasn’t the best. And there are two other cabins in close proximity about 50-70 yards from the cabin. Overall we had fun. Didn’t use the jacuzzi nor the fire pit. We made our memories. Went to the falls and main st and ingles. Which by the way there is a small ingles and two better ingles. Go to the better ones….

Beautiful setting, plenty of room for 12 family members. Well furnished although couldn’t really say there was a pool table with uneven surfaces, missing one ball and only one cue. Overall we had a great time and loved the location!

Our extended family loved the layout of the cabin, the paved road up to the cabin, and everything else about our stay! We are already making plans to go back next summer if we can book Cabin #1 again! All the guys loved the pool table and hot tub. There was plenty of room for everyone to have their own space, the location was fantastic and there was no traffic in the gated community. We'll be back next August if all goes well and we'd love to stay longer next time!!
Large house with a fantastic view. We had lots of fun playing ping pong and pool although the pool table is on it’s last leg. Kitchen is well stocked and we had a fantastic time.
