Tv is streaming only. I think our cabin must have been built first because the shower plumbing was ancient.
We loved the cabin we stayed in at Holy Smoke. The woman who checked us in was very knowledgeable and was always reachable by phone. Everything was clean and accommodating. I liked that they would trade out your linens every morning when you needed them to and the location was close to Historic Keystone. It was nice and quiet as well.
Place was clean and well organized - only complaint was that the address on the website did not match the address for the actual location and we ended up parking at someone else’s resort, it was fine and they redirected us and said it happens all the time.
My favorite places to stay in the Southern/Central Hills. The cabins are cozy, quiet, and always clean. This time I brought my side by side, and parked my trailer down below. Never worried about its safety.
