We're leaving tomorrow and that's a shame, because I would stay here another week. This location,…read morethis setting and this cabin is the best. All the conveniences of modern living (Wi-Fi, satellite TV, fully equipped kitchen and washer/dryer) provide a welcoming sanctuary in the midst of such rampant outdoor beauty it makes your head spin. Just minutes from the entrance of Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area, this is the perfect remedy to civilization, too much work and not enough fun. What an incredible, comforting respite. We will be back.

Just finished a week at Laurel Fork Rustic Retreat with our horses. The trails at Big South For…read moreare wonderful! It was our first time and we met good people on the trails. The cabin was nice (Laurel Cove) and cozy, and well equipped. But the screen door was broken, the hot tub water was cloudy/dirty and many of the jets didn't work, and the horse stalls while cleaned out, smelled of urine. There is no grass available for grazing in the paddocks or in hand. Some grass near the house and on the road but the rules restricted allowing the horses to graze there. Everything is very wooded. No one came to welcome us or stopped by during the week. The written guidance in the cabin was stern, not welcoming. Finally, on our last day. someone came with a tractor to remove our manure pile, before checkout, and disrupted our packing and dealing with the horses. We waved and tried to say hi and they ignored us. Ride out from the cabins was not great. We trailered out to other trail heads all week. So while the cabin was nicely appointed, for the overall experience three stars is generous. If we return to Big South Fork we will try one of the campgrounds with turnout and a more welcoming and interactive management, and a better access to the trails.

My family and I have stayed here several times and we loved each and every time. Barry the owner…read moreand his family are the best people you will ever meet they go above and beyond to make sure your stay is enjoyable. The cabins have everything you need and the price is affordable. The only thing I always bring extra is pillows because I'm a pillow nut, love this place.

We got a free upgrade to the next cabin up from the one we asked for. It fit the 4 of us perfectly. It was so nice there and the cottages all looked lovely. The prices for their cottages and boat rentals are perfectly reasonable. It is defiantly a place I will go again. In fact, the four of use are planning to go there this time next year.

The ceiling was falling down, there was dust caked on everything, dead bugs everywhere, animal hair in the bedding and on all the towels ect, dirty dishes in the cabinets, and an awful mold smell. I will never go back again. When I messaged the person about the cabin I got no response. I am very upset I paid for a weekend in this cabin and could barely spend an entire nignt there.

The good first. We stayed in cabin 6…read more The mattress is some kind of memory foam mattress and wonderful. The people that own/run these cabin are super responsive. I had to work and the Internet was good. Nice trees around and waking up to birds is super relaxing. The bad. This cabin plus the bathroom is just too small. There is no good place to lay out and open your luggage or hang anything up. No place to really lay out bathroom items or take clothes in when you are showering. The bathroom needs better ventilation. It smaller super mildewy. No mildew any where but the mildew musky small was strong. I wish the sheets had been softer and thicker. If you think "I am camping" the cabin is a perk. If you are wanting hotel style room, this is just not roomy enough.

we had stayed here for years and always loved them this trip we had some issue. when we got there…read morethey were on 4 towels & 2 wash cloths we used and put outside on the bench and they never picked up. I wound up contacting them and asking for towel and they only gave us 4 towels and 1 wash cloth for 4 people. then they said we wiped our feet or something on some towels and God is our witness we would never do that at home or anywhere else. I've worked in a motel for 14 years so definitely not something we would do. they laid on wooden slab bench for close to 36 hours I can't say if it had something on it or not but it poured the rain that night. we started researching to find a air BNB for our next trip.
