Peaceful getaway
5/5 The place was quiet and gorgeous. I'll address some previous review comments and say that they added door locks, though we understand why they didn't before- the place is literally up a mountain with virtually no one around. (One cabin next door but I think it was unoccupied). For anyone who needs door locks, they have a electronic door lock now.
Hosts were communicative about directions up there prior to our arrival, which was very useful as google maps becomes a little inaccurate when you're halfway up Pinnacle Mountain.
Place is rustic, cozy, and clean.
Kitchen is stocked (cookware, utensils etc). We kept the kitchen clean and didn't see or hear any critters indoors despite being in the woods. Would suggest a dish dry rack installed over the sink for efficient space use.
Had some trouble with the propane heater, but the hosts were super communicative and came by to make sure it got lit. In the meantime there were space heaters in the closets that were SO warm (especially in the bedrooms at night).
The natural spring water definitely has some sediment in it but it made my hair so soft and shiny, so go figure.
D&D Gas, Grocery and Diner is 15 mins away and there's an ALDI/ other stores about 25-30 minutes away. Coming from a moderately walkable city that's further than what we're used to but D&D was on the way to where we had to go every day so it worked out.
And finally- hurricane Helene came by the area just a few days after we left. Really hope the hosts are ok!
