We always love staying here! It’s a great place—comfortable, clean, and just what we need. The host is wonderful and so easy to work with. We’ll definitely be back again!
We loved the cabin. Small but perfect for a couple. Fell in love with the view online and the reality did not disappoint. Queen bed was heaven! We hope to return.
This was a simple rustic cabin with everything we needed for a few days to read, write, and muse. We loved the view, slept with open windows to enjoy the fresh air on a comfortable bed, drank coffee on the screened-in porch, and relaxed.My only concern (be it small) was the noise from the nearby highway.
Everything about "The Cabin" is peaceful. From the views of the valley to listening to the wind rustle through the trees. The town of Menlo and Summerville are excellent places to visit.
Beautiful, cozy cabin with an amazing view! It was close to several state parks and cute cities with great places to eat. I hope we can come back again!
Spectacular view, peaceful and so very relaxing. We loved our weekend. Very clean and cozy cabin with everything we needed for a comfortable stay! We will go back!
For how beautiful and quiet the area is, the cabin provided me comfort and ease of access to the region. Check in was extremely easy, and communication was quick with property owners. Highly recommended for anyone who come across this listing.
Just perfect. The cabin is small so it feels really cozy. The bed linens were of nice quality. The TV had plenty of options. The view was great from the living room and the bedroom. Definitely want to return.

Peace on the Ridgetop
As with each previous visit, there is a sense of peace to be found in this place. From the initial drive up to the first glimpse of the view into the Shinbone Valley, everything about this place is peaceful and rejuvenating to the soul. If you enjoy quiet small towns rich in history, you can find that a short drive from the cabin in any direction. Local food options are all fantastic, and so welcoming that you genuinely feel at home.
We will be back again and again.
Cabin is comfortable with all the amenities one would want and a thoughtful and attentive contact. View from the cabin and the bluff beyond is fantastic, with some area to the property to walk and see some lizards skittering over the rocks. The only caveat--you will want to spend time on the cabin grounds, but there's a nearby highway where noise bounces off the ridge back at you, pretty much incessant during the day, and the trucks gearing up and down can be LOUD. Lets off at night. Pack noise cancelling headphones or earplugs just in case.

Relaxing stay
Loved my stay at the Billy Goat cabin !! There is a bit of history with this little cabin, and from what I could see from the gravel road to it, there were other time period structures around as well ! Would love to know more ! The cabin has all basic needs for a comfortable stay. The bed is top notch! Slept soundly! It has two a/c window units and two ceiling fans to keep it nice and cool. It was extremely private, too ! And other than the few trucks on the main road in the distance, it was very quiet ! Main feature is the spectacular view !! Along the bluff edge there is a short trail , but be very careful ! If you're brave enough, you might could ease down a section and explore the woods below. There are even a few blackberry bushes along the top !! It's within 15- 20 minutes to Desoto Fall/ Mentone, and same to Menlo/ Summerville, Ga. Would definitely love to stay again !!
The view was absolutely gorgeous! It is the PERFECT weekend getaway spot to relax and recharge from busy everyday life. We can't wait for our next visit.
