Everything you need to relax and get away. The direct TV is excellent and the hot plate allows for cooking indoors. Will be staying again.

Fun
Great location for what we wanted. Cabins could have more privacy between them but still good, clean property and great view from the back porch and all surroundings
My husband and me came to celebrate our anniversary. It is a lovely cabin, clean, the place is serene. We loved the jacuzzi. We will definitely come back!
Everything was perfect. Very peaceful. Hot tub very clean and hot. Next morning saw cleaning drop off new linens and blankets to each cabin to begin cleaning. Will be back!

Owl’s tale
Very clean, very nice cozy comfy stay, was missing the grill top when we got their so we had to intrude on someone else’s time to use their grill other than that it was wonderful.
very impressed with the quality of service we have received on our weekend getaway! our cabin was spotless, provided dishes, dish soap, plenty of towels, our only complaint was the window in the kitchen did not have curtains which seemed a little odd considering the entire room was basically a bedroom, but the rest of the cabin made up for it for sure!
There are multiple cabins on the property all lined up. Cabin was clean. Bring your own coffee and filters for the coffee maker. Make sure you have 4 wheel drive for the back dirt roads. Overall it was very cozy
We enjoyed a short stay at Owl's Tale cabin and thoroughly appreciated the clean and quiet time away. Close enough to the beautiful parks that the area has to offer. Very clean and stocked with the necessities needed for basic cooking and cleaning.
The cabins are very close to one another but they are set up so the back decks and hot tubs are fairly private.
I booked this for a small weekend get away and it was the perfect little cabin! Everything was very clean upon arrival, and I was pleasantly surprised to see a little toaster oven as this wasn’t pictured in the photos! The hot tub was also a super cute touch. Overall, our stay was great! The only downside were the roads to get back to the cabin but once we found it and we were parked, the rest of the experience was smooth.
Overall, the stay was very nice! Everything was as represented in listing. The string lights didn’t work and the host never responded to any of our questions, but other than that, it was clean and nice. Would recommend.
The cabin itself was wonderful. We didn't have neighbors and it truly felt very private and serene. The hot tub was clean. The stain on the couch kind of grossed me out. I messaged the property host twice and never received a response. The check in/check out process was never explained, but the door was open when we got there.
Cabin exactly as advertised. Cozy clean and quiet. Bring our own coffee and toiletries. Some delay in getting entry code. Requested early due to lack of phone service in area but did not receive code until 4:15pm. Would still return if in the area again!
All in all, this property was great. It was my partner and I and our dog staying for the weekend. The lights outside didn’t work, and the charcoal grill was rusted and completely detached. We brought things to grill and was unable to. Other than that, we had a great time. The hot tub worked beautifully and the property wasn’t hard to get to in my suv.
I planned to go with a friend but they canceled on me so I ended up going by myself. I still had a wonderful stay even though it wasn’t what I had planned. It was peaceful and cozy! I had issues with the WiFi when I first arrived but the host got back to me very quickly and it was fixed. The hot tub was nice and the lights outside worked! Side note to anyone looking to stay here: You need to drive down a very long gravel road to get to the cabin which my maps did not show. It’s so long that you might start to second guess if you took a wrong turn and want to turn around lol. Just keep driving and you’ll eventually see the sign to turn in to get to the little neighborhood of cabins! Overall my stay was wonderful and I would definitely book again!
This little cabin was adorable. It was cozy and the perfect little girls getaway for me and my daughter. To check in I just messaged on the listing and got a response pretty quickly because the email did not give the code to get in. We got to visit a waterfall while staying at the property that was only about 17 miles away. The hot tub was perfect for chilly nights in the woods. We didn’t use the fireplace but the smell from the ashes in it from before was a little overwhelming. The bathroom was nice and clean. We could not get the string lights to work outside when it got dark and we were out in the hot tub but the hot tub had lights so it wasn’t that big of a deal. Overall it was a great little getaway. We will have to go back in the warmer months and stay so we can do more hiking around the area!

Nice little getaway.
Overall, I enjoyed this stay. The cabin and its setup is really nice. It has modern amenities and is quiet.
Beware - I messaged for an entire week trying to get check in instructions. The property owner never replied to my multiple messages over multiple days (including a number of messages the day before/day of check in!) I also called the host numerous times the day of check in, straight to voicemail. Multiple voicemails, still no reply!
Still didn’t receive check in instructions until I called the host 7 consecutive times, after not receiving check in instructions after 4:00 PM.
You are about 20 minutes from town. There is minimal to no cell service. And you drive on a gravel road seemingly to nowhere until you reach this place. Be prepared as you book your stay.
Overall, a great place to stay accommodation wise. But don’t expect any luck communicating with anyone affiliated with the property management.
