Great Getaway
was a great place to escape for a few days during the busy holidays! Loved the views and feel of being on the side of the mountain! Went to Rock City, which was close by but besides there stayed, cooked and hung out at this awesome little place.

Beautiful but..
Super cool Japanese style cottage with beautiful views. Two issues prevented 5 star rating. First it is a bit of a hike down a steep dirt and rock path to the cabin from the parking, not for the mobility impaired for sure. Second, the mattress in the bedroom left much to be desired.

Cozy stay
We fell in love the themed deco from the listing. Once we arrived and saw it in person we cancelled all plans of hiking in the area and we locked ourselves in for the weekend. We had the best time.

Views are breathtaking. Property is secluded and surrounded by nature. It’s especially beautiful in the evening with the string lights on the pathway, like something out of a fairytale

Sweet hideaway
Love the simple clean design, the views-there is a perfect sunset over the mountains, and is just an overall great place to put away phones and relax
