We recently stayed at Chimney Lake Cabin for a mini pre-Thanksgiving/birthday vacation. I had been searching for weeks to find the perfect place, not necessarily in this area but just a place where we could go that my husband and family agreed upon. I was almost giving up when this house popped up available. It was an immediate yes and I reserved it that night. From the first message, Kathleen and Jeff were very responsive to all my questions from the internet capabilities to what to eat in the area. They provided every detail we needed about the house. Even the treat of wine and smores when we arrived was the sweetest thing and the smores were a hit with my daughter. I, of course, loved the wine. 😊 The house is awesome, stocked with everything you need to relax both inside and out. I spent most of the time outside on the desk with the fire pit. There is plenty of room to spread out with 3 floors, 2 and then the loft area. My daughter loved the fact that she could hide in the basement and have her own floor to herself. The hot tub and foosball table was a big hit for our relaxing day in.
The only downside I can see to this house, and no fault of Kathleen or Jeff is the very steep and windy drive to get to the cabin. I highly recommend getting there during daylight, it is a bit nerve-wracking at night. Thankfully my husband drove so I only had mild anxiety getting to the top as we got there when it was dark. There are speed bumps at the lower part of the drive when you first come up the hill, so go slow and careful but after it's not terrible just steep, and when you think you passed it, go just a little further, you’re almost there.
The views are amazing and the sound of the river is calming. My husband who is harder to please with stays than I am was impressed and happy with this stay. He may even be planning another trip back when it’s a bit warmer. Thanks to Kathleen and Jeff for making this stay so perfect for us.
