Exceeded our expectations
My wife and I had been working remotely without a break for over a year, and since we weren’t due for a break any time soon, desired a change of environment. We wanted a peaceful, beautiful location with fast internet—a tough combination. Marie’s place was all that and more. She provides everything you might need for a peaceful getaway while including every amenity, including the fastest internet available, with download speeds approaching a gigabit. More importantly, her cabin is a slice of heaven. We were greeted by the smells of fresh mountain air as soon as we got out of the car, along with gentle and beguiling sounds of birds and cicadas. The furnishing and decor were all of very good quality, but more importantly, they reflected the sensibilities and soul of generations of lives that have vacationed here for many years. In other words, this was no generic vacation rental. Marie opens her world to you, and being in her cabin has all the warmth and comfort of coming home. The house is full of many precious mementos and charming decor. She has musical instruments available (of which my son made good use), games and jigsaw puzzles, a glider on the porch, and a hammock hanging in front. Inside the log cabin was a quiet as a church, and on the warm September days we stayed there, always much cooler than outdoors. The peacefulness is profound: hardly a single vehicle of any kind passes by for hours at a time. While my wife and I worked, my son lay in the hammock out front, noodling on the guitar. This is a place to come to if your nerves are frayed and you need spiritual R & R, and we were very glad we did. We hope to come again.
