"We had a family event in AL and decided to stay at this small, cute cabin to break up the drive. During our stay, we saw a couple of deer, and a couple of meteors and milky way on the first night. SE, above, and partial W view of the sky. NE view from entrance of driveway. Trees on horizon, We visited Desota falls, a canyon, and a restaurant nearby. Space to back up to turn around to get out of driveway."

"Everything about this property is as described. We enjoyed the privacy and peacefulness. Listening to the crickets and owls at night was extremely relaxing and enjoyable. The cabin itself is absolutely gorgeous and has everything that you need for a short getaway from home. It also has the best hot tub that we have ever been in. The owner, Matt, is very helpful and kind. He is also extremely quick to respond to any questions that you may have during your stay. My husband and I will definitely return. We give the cabin and it's owner a perfect 10 out of 10 rating!"
