If you've ever seen the Netflix series Virgin River or read the books, this place reminds me of Mel's cabin. My husband & I stayed here for our anniversary weekend.
Amazing views! If you enjoy photography, you'll be in Heaven! There are MANY interesting photo ops around the lake, including some abandoned cabins.The lake was down at least 6-10 feet, but the description told us that up front.
The description also said if you're looking for a 4-5 star hotel, this isn't for you-again 100% accurate. The place is old, the floors creek, there's dust & cobwebs in several places (just like in your home from time to time). Otherwise, it was clean & we felt safe.
The description also said to follow the directions in the listing instead of using GPS. We ended up on the wrong end of Newsome Gap Rd & traveled about 4 miles on a narrow dirt & gravel path. Don't do what we did!
We're big college football fans, so we attempted a digital antenna to watch the AL vs TN game with no luck, & our phones would only stream outside the cabin. We found a fabulous sports bar/restaurant in Trenton called Jefferson's if you find yourself in a similar situation.
As the previous review stated, there was a dog that (from the blanket on the porch it used as a bed, opened dog food cans inside the grill, & it's attempts to come inside every time we opened the door) clearly lives out on the porch. It barked ALL night at deer. It looks like it needs a trip to the vet & DEFINITELY needs a bath.
