My family and I enjoyed staying here and plan to again but I imagine that people will either love…read moreit or hate it with no where in between. I have stayed in a lot of mountain cabins. The roads to some of them were so poor quality, narrow, and incredibly steep that I decided if I made it to the top I wouldn't drive back down until I left. It is on obviously rural mountain roads but I would feel completely comfortable on them even in the winter. Even though the website does say that bedrooms two and three are the second and third floor lofts it's easily overlooked which had happened to at least one reviewer. There are a couple of reasons that might make you either love it or hate it. If you have AT&T cell phone service, and possibly others, reception ends about half a mile before the cabin. However you can get reception outside of your car or the cabin. There are three porches so you don't have to go far for a signal but if you absolutely can't disconnect from the world then you might not like it. If you have a different carrier you might not have a problem. As for me and my family, we were looking for a place to get away and relax and the only people we would want to be able to reach us were here, so it wasn't a problem. Another thing that you might either love or hate is the Wi-Fi which is listed as an amenity. We'd read the reviews on the website saying it didn't work. I'm a former computer engineer so I thought I might be able to fix it or at least diagnose the problem. I can't prove my diagnosis because I can't gain physical access to the equipment but I believe there are two problems with it. The first is that I believe the Wi-Fi router is located in the cabin next door and not in this one and it has a very weak signal that does cut out at times. The second is that I believe it is only a slow DSL connection. The best speed I was ever able to get was 1 Mbps. That's definitely not enough to watch any streaming video like YouTube or Netflix which I believe some reviewers complained about. I had brought my laptop but never had a need or want to use it. I was able to use my iPad and iPhone to browse websites and use most of my apps without too much trouble. My family had come prepared to not have Internet access. We brought toys, games, fishing equipment, life jackets to use with the canoe they provide (they also provide life jackets but I brought my own to make sure I had the right size for the kids), DVDs and a player, books to read, books to color in, ingredients to make s'mores over a campfire, etc. But if you can't live without reliable high speed internet then this place won't work for you. The only other thing I can think of that you might either love or hate is there is no dishwasher. It did kind of surprise me that there wasn't one in a nice place like this but we just brought paper plates and plastic cups and cutlery. (My family is normally very environmental. I even drive an electric car, but nobody wants to spend their vacation washing dishes which wastes water. Sometimes you have to choose one negative environmental impact or another. This time paper and plastic lost to water.) One thing that is usually the same at every cabin or condo I rent is they advertise a kitchen "perfect for dining" but rarely have enough cooking utensils or they have practically been destroyed by previous guests. I've seen much worse but I was glad that I had brought my own spatula, slotted spoon, and can opener. When looking for a vacation destination my family selected this place because we wanted a somewhat remote cabin that was big enough for our entire family of eight, had fun things we could do there, and fun things to do nearby. DeSoto Falls, part of DeSoto State Park on Lookout Mountain is only about two miles away. Little River Canyon National Preserve (Park) with three other waterfalls and a 23 mile scenic trail is only about 15 miles away. If you have the time and don't mind driving a little further, Russell Cave National Monument (Park) is only about 30 miles away. We had so much fun at the cabin that we only went to DeSoto Falls and Little River Falls for a short time one afternoon.

I originally booked a kayaking trip with them back in May for June. I admit that I booked for the wrong day and that was on me. However, I tried to call them the next day (a month in advance) to get the date changed. I had to email and call in 2-3 times before reaching someone. He said that it was not a problem to get the date changed. I asked for something in writing about the date change and it took reaching out to 2-3 times again to get the date changed. Things happen that was no problem. The day of our kayaking trip we showed up. The gate was locked so we tried to call in for the trip. He then answered and said that he had cancelled our trip for and sorry if "you missed my email". He never emailed me. I asked him to please check our reservation as I looked it up and we never received an email. He just kept telling me that it was my fault and that it was a flood there was nothing he could do. He never apologized and then started cursing at me. I showed him by text that I didn't think I had been issued a refund. I tried to give it a few more days for my bank to process a refund then I received an email stating that our reservation was on for the original date. He has now reverted to sending me pictures of his system and emojis without actually speaking to me. Our bank has not received the refund and I am having to file a dispute with my bank. I completely understand why our trip was cancelled but he has been nothing but rude, uncommunicative and unprofessional. Book somewhere else.

We had a really good experience renting a Lowe SS 210 pontoon boat here until it came time to…read morereturn it and deal with the gas. When we pulled up at the dock at our scheduled return time, a young worker was already filling boats with gas cans (not a pump). He started filling ours, but ran out of gas midway. That immediately raised concerns, since there's no way to know how much was in the can before he started. My husband went into the store and was told the worker would have to go buy more gas, and it would be 30+ minutes before he came back. This was frustrating because they knew our boat was due back at 6 PM, yet chose to use up gas on other boats first instead of being prepared for us. We were told we'd be sent a receipt for the fuel, but we never got one--just a $100 charge. At $5 a gallon and a 24-gallon tank, the numbers don't add up, especially since the gauge showed between half and a quarter tank left when we returned it. Based on the math, I don't believe we actually used the amount of gas they charged us for, likely an extra $20-$30. The day on the water itself was great, but the lack of transparency with the gas, no receipt, and questionable accuracy in what we were charged left a sour note at the end. It's never a good feeling to feel like you have been ripped off. If you rent here, just be aware of how they handle fueling and charges.

I was told I could not pull into my site so I could evacuate quickly in an emergency. I liked the view of the lake out my windshield. There were a lot of cars and trucks pulled into sites.
