Perfect setting
We are 3 sisters who grew up in Bristol. Two of us have moved away. This cabin was a great way for us to meet up and talk all night and not have to drive. The accommodations are spectacular. The views of the hillside drive here were fantastic. Couldn’t have asked for a better place.

Great location
We visited for a week and loved the location. The cabin is spacious and has a great deck. I would stay again. The main issue was that the grill was unusable. It is missing the handle, and is full of char. We tried to use it, but the char caught fire and smoke was everywhere. We were outside monitoring the grill, so we were able to turn it off immediately.

Totally worth it
The location was rural which was what we were wanting. Our last cabin rental was right downtown so this was perfect. There were three bedrooms and two baths. There was a TV in every bedroom which was awesome cause my husband and I like to unwind watching a little TV before we go to sleep and a large TV in the living room, there was a gas grill available outside that we used, an amazing front porch with lots of seating, 2 coffee makers, a Keurig and a regular coffee maker, microwave, stove, and refrigerator. It was very nicely decorated and very comfortable. We loved our stay and if we travel to that area next year we plan on trying to rent again.

Mountain Getaway
This cabin is very nice and was clean. The large front porch was perfect for hanging out on a rainy day. It is located in a beautiful area on a large hillside lot. However, there was an obvious lack for detail. There is no place in any of the 3 bedrooms to place your luggage which was awkward, the grill was missing the handle so we didn't use it, there was a towel rack in the main bathroom that was about to fall off the wall and the grass was a foot tall. There was 4 coffee pods with the coffee maker and the house was rented to 5 people for two nights. Overall this is a great house and I will definitely consider renting it again.

Great stay!
This is one of the cleanest and best maintained rental properties we’ve stayed in. It was quiet and comfortable, and had all the extras that we usually have to buy like laundry and dishwasher pods, even some coffee. We enjoyed the gas grill, the porch, and all the deer that came and went. Would highly recommend!
It was a beautiful property. It felt like home away from home.
