Cozy Lake Toxaway Escape w/ Deck, Fire Pit & Grill

Reviews

• Rustic, remote, wonderful.

  5/5

  Moose Lodge was everything we hoped for when we planned a weekend getaway from hot, steamy Florida. We spent most of our time outside by the fire pit at night or reading a book out on the deck, which was beautiful. The sound of birds chirping and a stream out in the distance was calming and relaxing. It’s a beautiful cabin in the woods that offers a perfect respite from the everyday grind.

  Perfect little getaway for my husband and I while attending a wedding over memorial weekend. A short drive from everything, but the property felt like you were all alone in the woods.

  3/5

  We were allowed to check in at 12:30 instead of 4PM because of my wife's issue which was a nice gesture. We were promised lots of firewood for our 3 night, 4 day stay. The 24th was also our 25th (silver) anniversary. A fire pit didn't interest us.

  When we checked in, the cabin was 53 deg. so I raised the it to 70 looking forward to a nice fire. There were only 8 nice pieces of 18" cord wood stored outside. I had requested plenty of wood because my wife had just finished 16 rounds of chemo for breast cancer. I'm glad I brought my own fire lighter because the one there was out of fuel. We had a nice fire and informed our contact the next day who kindly ordered 4 bundles that were delivered that day. We requested the Ace driver to call & request more. The driver said he called, but we never had another delivery. They were very bundles of small kindling wood from McNeely Ace Hardware ($6.99 ea). I burnt thru this wood because it was NOT cord wood. I couldn't get cell service so all calls had to be made when we went towards Brevard for meals. I found some wood during our trips that I could burn, also bought a bow saw & cut wood from around the cabin.

  The place was quiet and relaxing with only noise from a truck or 2 at the main road & 2 cases of dogs barking. The ice maker made a lot of noise & never made ice so I bought 2 bags & put in the freezer. 1 mattress needs to be replaced. More of the review on Evolve. Great place after some maintenance and good cleaning.

  Manager's Response:

  Shared from the owner:
  
  "Thank you for your review and for acknowledging the early check-in we accommodated for you. I appreciate your feedback and am pleased to hear you found the cabin quiet and relaxing overall.
  
  I understand your concerns regarding the firewood. As noted in our listing, we provide a fireplace, but we do not specifically include firewood. The firewood we provided was a gesture of goodwill, considering your wife's health situation. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee unlimited firewood supplies, as most guests either purchase additional wood from a local store or gather it from the surrounding area.
  
  Regarding the ice maker, I want to clarify that our listing does not include this amenity. Your mention of the noise and lack of ice production will be noted, but please be assured that this is not a feature we advertise.
  
  We value all guest feedback as it helps us improve our offerings. Thank you for bringing these points to our attention, and I hope we can welcome you back in the future with an even better experience."

  We loved the cabin. It was clean, cozy and quiet. It was exactly as expected.

  Really enjoyed staying here! The home was cozy and I loved the wintertime view of the ridge from the big glass doors. We also enjoyed how remote the cabin is - it's not very close to anything but hiking, which made it a true getaway.
