It was a beautiful cabin nestled in the woods. Clean and lots of options for sitting and enjoying coffee or a cocktail.The only thing would have been to know where extra paper towels and toilet paper were without searching and feeling like we were invading privacy! Highly recommend!

This was our first family vacation and this spot was perfect for our young family. Our dog enjoyed playing in the yard and going for walks in the area. The hot tub was a great space to unwind at the end of the day. We were very pleased with the space.

Pando Cabin was very comfortable, quiet, and well stocked. We didn’t do much cooking but the kitchen seemed to have anything we would have needed. Living on an island on the coast of South Carolina where the elevation goes from sea level to 20’ above sea level the drive to Murphy and up to the cabin was both fun (for me) and terrifying (for my wife) 🤣

Not enough wash cloths accommodations were excellent but better toilet paper and paper towels the lights in bathroom were dim
