Enjoyed the atmosphere
Super close to Big South Fork and about 30-40 minutes to Cumberland Falls. Nice place to come back to after long days of hiking.

Cozy & clean!
We were looking for somewhere that was centrally located to local hiking & attractions, this cabin was within 20 mins to a bunch of hiking spots. I was worried that we'd have trouble with a our baby's pack n play but the primary bedroom had a giant closet attached that worked perfectly as a nursery. The cottage itself was very clean & adorably decorated. The only bummer was the horses weren't there but we did get some deer visitors!

Cute, comfortable and quiet!
This was a cozy little spot for a getaway with my husband. The place was nicely decorated and had everything we needed. The sofas and bed were very comfortable. The host was super responsive and nice. Lights were in for us when we arrived which was great because it was late. The lawn was freshly mowed but could have used some weed eating- this did not bother us. It was also clean, with the exception of some cobwebs on the kitchen counter. I see this being easily overlooked and it wasn’t a big deal.

Clean & comfy
We hiked the surrounding Daniel Boone National Forest and Big South Fork. This location is very close to many great hikes and nature sights to see. The house was very clean and everything was very nice. It has a front porch and back patio for some outside time. You can see alot of stars at night due to less light pollution. Comfortable bed. Cute decor. Will give this house an A. The only thing stopping it from being A+ is the bathroom shower is clawfoot tub with surrounding shower curtain so was difficult and the a/c was not working for our visit for which the owner provided portable a/c unit that cooled enough but was very loud. Would recommend! Overall was a great place to stay!!

Beautiful cottage. Very clean and nicely decorate!!! Just as described in listing. We loved the front porch and rear seating areas. It was bigger than we expected too. Easy check in and check out. Host very responsive.
