Charming Lakeside Cabin on Lookout mountain, by Little River Canyon!

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed the cabin. The property is beautiful and the inside was very clean. Would highly recommend it. I do have a suggestion. The bedroom with the tall wooden bed would be much easier to get into if you got rid of the box spring. You have a 10 to 12 inch mattress. All you need. Im 5'5" and had to use a chair to get in it."
