We needed a place about halfway between Minnesota to meet my hubby’s mother and his sister. I had no idea what a treat we were in for, because this was a very last-minute trip. It wasn’t until the night before we left that my husband learned this area was “The Gaitlinburg of Indiana”…we love mountains and Tennessee so we’re even more excited.
I loved the cabin! Well equipped kitchen. Everything is comfy and cozy. Hot Tub is amazing...steady hummingbird show on the deck I loved the location. I loved the seclusion, yet close to everything. I never wanted to leave the back deck.....and that swing! We loved being so close to the park and hiked around there (as much as we could with an 80 year old). That little town is everything....so cute.
Toured Hard Truth Distillery....you must eat there and they are adding a brewery on. The wineries are also a must visit.
Overall a Fabulous experience, but in my excitement I missed the little detail that there is not a potty on the main floor. This place has 3 stories ....wasn’t a problem for us, but posed an unexpected problem for everyone with my 80 year old mother in law with bad knees (and eyes) and my 60 year old sister in law (also not in the best health) who had so been looking forward to having that room in the basement, but had to give to his mom so she could be close to a bathroom at night; otherwise she would have happily made a nest on the couch.
It def put a little damper on the week, but now we know what to look for next time.
Also, there’s a very large, but super friendly white dog on the front deck from time to time. His name is Carl. He’s a big teddy bear with excellent people manners. I’m a big dog lover and so is my husband, but weren’t sure how he would behave to us walking up to the deck the first day we arrived or around cooked food, because he’s very old and appears hungry. We never had any problems with him......ever.
