Bob and Peggy (FL) came back, and we're glad Peggy remembered her camera!

Emma chatted with Peggy as she clicked away; Kali thought Peggy might like to catch her with a ball and left to find one....

From Our Cabineers...

 

We came here for our honeymoon and had a wonderful trip. We woke up in the mornings to deer, rabbits, squirrels and other animals eating in the back yard. This was an amazing trip and we hope to be back very soon. Being here made this a perfect honeymoon! Amanda & Aaron

After calling another place to arrange a weekend stay and having waited too long (typical!), they recommended that I call Helen. What a blessing! I don't think anywhere could have been better, and we are glad to have found this place. Birds chirping, crickets, cicadas, and the wind in the trees - so hard to go back to the real world, as we must. The ponds are beautiful, the scenery amazing. Watched the sun set from on the hill last night... Clouds from the coastal storms drifting over the mountains and the changing colors made it a very special time and place. This cabin is way cool... I want one! Last night was crisp and cooler than the last few days, so we opened the windows & enjoyed it. By morning the crows (and the fresh air) woke us to another beautiful NC mountain day. We are grateful for this time away from our normal lives, and we are envious that you get to enjoy it always. Be well, be safe, be happy - William and Dana

Helen & Randy, thank you again for a perfect stay at Angel Mtn. We will be back next year. The weather has been perfect, and we have enjoyed our short stay. It will be hard to return to work on Monday! Karen & Ronnie

Thank you, Helen & Randy, for once again welcoming us to stay at your cabin. We had a very short stay (unfortunately) but enjoyed every minute. The weather was beautiful, and we really got to enjoy the outdoors. This cabin has always been a place that has such great memories for us, and it is a place we will come to again & again. We could not ask for more. Barry & Teresa

This is one of my favorite places on earth, so I have it coded into my cell phone. As I looked down to call Helen at my arrival, I saw that my cell phone screen clearly displays the following: 'HELEN BALDWIN ANGEL' (the 'MOUNTAIN' doesn't display until later). I think that says it all! I love you guys so much. Libby

Birthday weekend getaway surprise. Thanks to my wife for that. She could not have picked a better place - we really enjoyed our stay. It was as peaceful as it could possibly be. Canoe trip, sightseeing, shopping, sleeping, eating, relaxing, and most of all, enjoying time with the love of my life! Helen, thanks so much for the warm welcome and great hospitality. I also want to thank you for the inspirational reading of The Jeffrey Journey (my reading, your writing). What an amazing story of triumph. I know Jeffrey is so proud of his family! Thanks for my birthday presents. May God continue to bless you and your family. Royce & Angie

Our sweet Jeffrey, the inspiration behind Angel Mountain
(The Jeffrey Journey available in paperback, Kindle, and Nook editions)

This morning, early, I went to the beautiful backyard, a place of sacred serenity. There I found a squirrel, 3 birds, a chipmunk stretching up on his hind legs, & a lovely still rabbit. What a blessed space Angel Mountain Cabin is! And what luxurious hospitality Helen provides. Two years ago, this was a special moment of healing for me as I struggled with medical treatments. Now, healthy & strong, I rejoice in the beauty & adventure of the cabin & Ashe County! Thank you! Barbara

This was a wonderful vacation!! This is our first time visiting in June. We usually come in the colder months like October and always have to deal with traffic and tourists visiting for the Valle Crucis Faire or Appalachian homecoming. We went to all the places we have wanted to go for so many years.... We finally got to see the Moses Cone Craft Center. What an awesome treat.... We walked the hiking trail to the Cone family grave site and were speechless at the beauty and the fabulous view. It was a steady incline and I told Eddie they needed to prepare an extra grave because I would die before we got there, but I made it eventually. It is too bad they are dead and can't enjoy the beautiful view.... We had enough time this trip to really feel the mountains and its culture. We will come back in October and fight the crowds, but it has given us a new perspective of the other seasons. This cabin is such a wonderful sanctuary! Thank you!! Leslie and Eddie

We were very excited for a 1st cabin stay.... Upon entering the cabin and finding all the special homey touches, I instantly felt welcomed, relaxed, and pampered. Biscuit (our lab) and I hiked up to the cemetery on top of Angel Mountain, and the quiet, serene area felt welcoming and calming. David, Biscuit, and I rode to the State Park and hiked the nature trails there.... The (next) morning started off rainy, so I curled up with a book (The Jeffrey Journey), and David a movie. It's been a long time since we had such a relaxing morning listening to the Dreams for Jeffrey CD.... David & Craig (son) canoed the New River while Biscuit & I hiked. Biscuit swam in the catfish pond & tried to catch one, but (thank goodness) the fish were too quick for him. Biscuit and I saw a deer, and I'm not sure who was more frightened, Biscuit or the deer! This cabin and the surrounding area has such a calming effect on me; I know I'm going to miss it when we leave.... I hope everyone that stays at the cabin enjoys it as much as we have. Cynthia

Sweet dreams for our little guy, written by 'Nana' (Helen's mother) and available here

Thank you for sharing your wonderful cabin. We had been planning our trip for several weeks to camp and canoe with our 5-yr old German shorthair pointer. But on Friday before we left Raleigh, we realized camping was not in the cards with all the rain. While searching the internet for an alternate solution, we came upon Angel Mountain Cabin. What a wonderful surprise when we arrived! The cabin was perfect! The rain held off on Saturday and allowed us to go canoeing with Ellie. She had a great time. We visited the Cheese Factory and rode around the mountain and enjoyed the beautiful views. We have 10 acres about 30 minutes up the mountain outside of Jefferson. We hope to build a cabin as quiet and peaceful as Angel Mountain one day. Sincerely, Sherwood & Dawn (PS - Ellie loved the blanket!)

Thank you so much for allowing us to enjoy this little piece of Heaven. I came here with my husband & 3 boys, we all fell in love. We were all in need of some relaxation & peace and quiet and we found it here. This mini vacation is by far the best thing I have ever won (through Jonah's Auction)!!! I hope to return in the fall, for my anniversary :) The story, or should I say history, that belongs to Angel Mountain is tragic, yet I found myself thankful for the opportunity of learning of it. Thank you for sharing Jeffrey's journey with us. Sincerely, Jess, Horacio, Horacio, Jr., Sebastian, & Julian (PS - Best Mother's Day Ever!!! Thank you for the CDs - the music is beautiful! Thank you for the candy, too - it was gone day 1!)

What a wonderful way for Steve and I to finish our perfect day in your neck of the woods! We so enjoyed our personalized tour and dinner. The walk to the top of "Angel Mountain" was very special. After 18 years all the memories and stories have just come tumbling out and was so much fun. I could have yakked another day or two. The sun filtering through the trees and the wonderful wildlife that greeted us this morning - deer & squirrels - no wonder you came here & never left. Such absolute peace. Hopefully we can reciprocate with a different experience on the left coast one day. Love you bunches, Karen & Steve (Note: Karen and Helen were best friends in junior high and high school in Texas; they hadn't seen each other in 18 years!)

Such a beautiful and peaceful time here. Thanks for all the little things you do to show you care, and thanks for sharing your stories of happiness and struggles and hopes. It's so neat to have connected with you through Jonah's story, and thank you for your help, love, and prayers in that regard, too. Look forward to seeing you and talking to you more in the years to come. Love, Peyton, Amy, Asher, & Ainsley

Thank you for sharing your charming cabin. We appreciate and enjoyed your special touches andn treats. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and feel very blessed to have this time in NC. Our love, Jim & Andrea

We have come to the mountains of NC many times. This trip, however, will stand out as a new beginning. We are at a crossroads in our lives and this quaint, charming cabin has brought much peace and clarity. Thank you, Helen and Randy, for sharing Angel Cabin. It is a part of your soul and is now a part of ours. Thank you so much for allowing this magical place to be the landmark on the road to a whole new life for us. Much love.... LaDean & Terry

What a perfect place to step away from everyday life and relax. So peaceful and quiet here - loved sitting on the deck listening to the sound of nothing but what Mother Nature had to offer. Can't say enough about this cozy little cabin amazingly stocked with everything! Hiked in New River State Park and were very pleasantly surprised when a dozen wild turkeys sauntered across the trail about 75 yds. from where we were standing. Hiked to the top of Angel Mountain and, once again, found ourselves in a beautiful, peaceful, serene setting.... Angel Mountain Cabin - such a special little gem in Ashe County. Hope to return soon. Gail & Junie

Wow - we arrived to such wonderful hospitality! Our first journey after feeding the huge catfish was to drive to the state park, just down the road. We went swimming in the river & the boys found treasures in the water. Then we took a hike on the trail. The boys weren't looking forward to it, but we forced them. We took the pamphlet that is offered for various stops along the hike. The boys got so into it with all the interesting tidbits that they began to run to each #. My seven year old even said, "This is way better than ds."... The next morning after breakfast we took a hike up to the top of Angel Mountain. Wow, how beautiful a place.... I have to say the boys were not happy when we declared the weekend "electronic free," but in the end we had an awesome weekend. Thanks for everything - Rob, Penny, Sean, Nick, and Matt

From the chipmunks in the backyard, the deer in the driveway one early morn, and to all the special 'little' things that you have done to make our first stay in the cabin special, we thank you. We have been amazed at the well-stocked movies, books, and all the other things that one may need while here. Ronnie wanted to fish in the pond but after becoming friends with the catfish, he just couldn't. I will keep in touch and maybe again next year we can come back. Thank you, Karen & Ronnie

The charm and friendliness of Angel Mountain and of Helen far outweigh a few days of off-and-on showers. In the windows of sunshine, we were able to take some super pictures (see above!). And no visit to Ashe County is complete for us without a visit to Shatley Springs. It's our third stay at the cabin, and we'll be back in the Spring to one of the most beautiful and relaxing areas I've ever seen. Bob and Peggy

If you need to relax, you have found the perfect "Godsend Place." We brought our cat (Miss Kitty) and dog (Rusty K.C.); that was a great feeling to be able to have our pet family with us. Rusty loved the pond, didn't know what to think of the BIG catfish.... You have to walk to the top of the mountain: so peaceful, and the apples are delicious.... The hummingbirds were busy in the morning and late in the evening.... We spent most of our time just resting, talking, reading while sitting on the porch, for that was what we were searching for, and we found that special place here. Thanks for a very relaxing place to come to! God's Blessings - Tim & Andrea

When we got here, I was very tense and stressed; it's been a rough 2 or 3 years in our family. This was the perfect place for me and Mike.... I was in 'heaven.' The silence, watching nature, meditating, and the beautiful scenery all combined to relax me. I reconnected with the truly beautiful side of life. Nature, in all its glory, the earth in her many gifts, and animals (seen and unseen) made me realize how truly small and unimportant most of the problems that had stressed me out were (actually, all of them). Helen and Randy are so thoughtful and nice. All the love and homey touches made us feel as if we were truly home, but better, and I would love to stay another week or two.... Sadly, this is our last morning, and I don't want to leave. But real life beckons. I return home more relaxed and with our 'problems' in perspective, and hopefully I will hold on to this feeling, and the memory of it will sustain me until we can come back. What? Oh my yes! We will be back! This is absolutely an Angel Cabin... a piece of 'Heaven' on earth. I hope whoever comes after us will have as wonderful experience as we did and takes home as much peace. God Bless Randy & Helen - Diana & Mike

This is our 3rd visit and certainly plan to come again and again. The location, hospitality and surroundings make it a wonderful get-away. Plus being able to have our kids (dogs) with us makes it even better. Thank you, Randy and Helen, for offering such an enjoyable place - Jim, Vicki, Katie, and Isabel

One of the great things to see... right here at the cabin... is the night sky! I brought my telescope and set up right between the two ponds. As far as I could tell, the sky was about as dark and clear as anywhere in NC, except perhaps on or right near the outer banks! The Milky Way when it rose was rich in stars; Saturn was magnificent (steady skies helped); I could even see some fairly faint galaxies and nebulae in my small refractor (M81 & M82... the Owl Nebula & M106). Definitely worth seeing... and if you don't have a telescope bring binoculars or just sit down at the pond at night with the frogs and watch the fireflies!!! Very magical! Robert

Had beautiful weather and scenery! The cabin is perfect for a small family like ours. Beautiful view from the back hill!... In all, great mini-vacation, it was for our 1-year anniversary! We will be back soon! Melissa, Chris, Ozzy, & Daisy

This is our second trip up here, and we love it! I can say without a doubt, if you are looking for a place to get away from the hustle and bustle of the world, this is the place! We have always found Helen & Randy to be the most welcoming people we have ever met. They truly want your stay here to be relaxing and inviting. You will be amazed at how quiet and beautiful this town is; from the Christmas trees to the mountains, every scene is breathtaking. When you arrive at the cacbin, the little personal touches from flannel sheets to little treats make you feel like this is the place you want to be and never leave.... You will find that after your stay here at Angel Mountain Cabin, nothing else will ever measure up! Thank You, Helen & Randy! The Malcolms!

We had a great time in this beautiful area. From driving on the Blue Ridge to the West Jefferson Gallery Crawl, this weekend was a fantastic getaway. It was fantastic to have such a cozy place to come back to when we just wanted to stay in and relax. Thanks for the great vacation! Matthew and Ashley

This was such a wonderful escape! We really needed to get away for a few days and were so excited to be the winning bid at the Wake Teen auction in Raleigh. It is so peaceful here - we love the quaint cabin. Our animals were so happy to be here ,too; we appreciate being able to bring them along! Thank you, Helen & Randy, for all of the special touches. We will take our memories of this trip home with us and be energized until our next trip back to the mountains! We hope to be back soon! Thank you! Elizabeth, Ted, Rosie, Buddie, Gads (THREE cats!), and Diesel (sweet dog with cancer who earned her wings not long after their trip here).

As one who has come to beloved Ashe County for 19 years (one long weekend a year), I can say without qualification: Angel Mountain Cabin is THE nicest, cleanest, most welcoming & spacious single cabin you will ever find. Add to that the beautiful and amazing Helen Baldwin AKA 'Mountain Billy Mama,' mother of Jeffrey and author of The Jeffrey Journey.... a stunning, unforgettable page-turner, and you have an environment basically as perfect as this earth can provide :) To sum it up, I'd say, when all you hear is crickets & wind whistling in the trees, you know you're in the right place! God embraced Ashe County long ago, and He hasn't let go yet! Truly, heaven on earth.... Libby

Absolute, total, complete relaxation - reached! What a delightful place to spend time. From the earth we walked on to the heavens we watched. Gary and Beth

 

 

Helen, can I stay here forever? What would be the rate for that? Of course, I'm sure I would miss my dog and my husband... oops, I mean my husband and my dog! Libby

Dear Helen and Randy, Thank you for sharing this magical spot of serenity and beauty. We have loved it. We hope to be back before long.... Ed & Becky

Here is a close up of one of your pond children. They are some of the biggest beefiest koi I have ever photo referenced. They are koibillies! Leslie

We had a great time...Yesterday we went to the New River and did the nature walk with the dogs before heading home. I will definitely come back, it was very cozy and I've told my daughters about it as well so perhaps they will visit. Thanks for the cider, that was sweet. I loved the blanket on the bed.... Again, thanks for your hospitality - it was just what I needed. Nancy

Thanks - we enjoyed it! Marley loved the squirrels. Patty and Ernie

We wanted to thank you again for letting us share in the special tranquility and hospitality that 'The Cabin' has to offer. In spite of the rain we did enjoy ourselves and hope to come back to enjoy more of the trails and pond. We admire your family story and hope you find peace in knowing you are truly an inspiration in your ability to make other people's lives so relaxing when so much has been taken from you. Take care - Jim & Vickie

Thanks so much! We had a great time. Beautiful place - we will call you again soon. Alan & Jan. PS - Our 'babes' love it too! They don't see snow like this at home.

Many thanks from 2 ladies and their furballs! Rachel & Maxine

What a peaceful, cozy, comfort-filled cabin Angel Mountain Cabin is. We have loved every minute of our time here. The geese, the hummingbird and fish, plus many birds have welcomed us - as you have! Thank you so much for mountain oasis experience. We will be back and will tell others - just the dearest ones - of Angel Mountain Cabin! May the fall season bring many wanted guests your way. Peace to you and yours. With warm regards, Anita and Barbara. PS - As you can see, we loved the chocolates!!

 

Thanks again for providing a wonderful stay at your cabin. We enjoyed it so much and wish we could have stayed longer. Maybe next time... :-) Daniela and Dwain

Joe and I really enjoyed Angel Mtn. Cabin. It is so pretty and peaceful there. We had a very nice weekend. As you can tell, we got into the chocolate candy :) The coffees, popcorn, and hot chocolate are a nice homey touch. We both enjoyed the notebook you put together.... It was even nice hearing the sound of the rain on the metal roof.... Thanks for sharing your beautiful place with us.... Debbie

I am leaving this little angel for the cabin. A dear friend gave her to me for this retreat and it seemed fitting that she stay behind to bless all of the angels who live here - your family, your guests, all who find peace, rest and healing on Angel Mountain. I am most grateful for your kindness and the beautiful refuge you have created. Accept my thanks and blessings for peace and love in your lives. Linda

....thank you again for letting us share in the special tranquility and hospitality that 'The Cabin' has to offer. In spite of the rain we did enjoy ourselves and hope to come back to enjoy more of the trails and pond. We admire your family and hope you find peace in knowing you are truly an inspiration in your ability to make other people's lives so relaxing when so much has been taken from you. Take care - Jim & Vicki

I wanted again to say THANK YOU so much for allowing us to stay in the cabin. It was wonderful. The perfect get away. The hike through the mountain was amazing. Plus I got to see Jeffrey's resting place which was pretty special. I can't wait until we are able to go back. Jack and I both had a great time. We sat in the living room with no noise alot of the time just enjoying the nothing..haha. In the morning I found myself staring out the window because Jack would go out and throw bird feed because I love to watch the birds. I was telling my sister about it and she might be planning a trip if she can talk her husband into it. They were talking about FL but now she wants to try and change his mind..hehe. I loved meeting all the animals as well. I felt like I already knew them just by reading your blog. It was great seeing you again and on our way home we found it only takes us 2 hours to get there. The waterfall we found on our way home was amazing. Very pretty! I better get going - I haven't even unpacked yet..haha. Take care of yourself and it was GREAT to see you again. Love, Christie

Jason & I want to thank you all for a relaxing weekend that was much needed! We had a wonderful time. Thank you for the hospitality. The chocolate & the cider were an excellent touch. We didn't get to do much sightseeing around the cabin area, but we have talked about visiting again sometime in the summer months hopefully. The cabin itself is charming! It's perfect for a couple who needs to just get away. We watched several movies & ate way too much junk - but tomorrow, it's back to the working world.... Anyway, thank you guys for the 'perfect' wedding gift that we finally cashed in after 3 yrs. It truly was the best anniversary we have had! Thanks for everything - Jason and Tabitha

Thank you so much for all the extra, special touches in making our time even better than we could have hoped for! Walking in the first time and seeing the 2 glasses set out and the bottle of chilled, delicious sparkling cider set the tone for a perfect weekend. There wasn't anything we could have wanted for! Bless you! Kitty & Bruce

WOW! First, I would like to thank you for everything! The cabin is absolutely wonderful. Doug and I had a better time than we could have ever imagined. We hiked the trails in the park, to the top of Angel Mountain, and around your lovely ponds. Friday night, we stayed in, ate a delicious steak dinner (Doug was very proud of his perfectly cooked steaks!!), and popped open a bottle of pink champagne on the back deck while watching the sunset. We finished the evening by watching 'Casablanca' (I had always wanted to see it!). Saturday, we slept in to get energy for the hiking adventures at the park. I made us a yummy PB&J lunch to eat on our hike, so we ate at a picnic table while watching (and listening to!) the river. We could not have asked for NICER WEATHER! It was absolutely FANTASTIC! After the hike, we came back, fed the catfish, hiked to the top of Angel Mountain, and then called it a day. Had a great lemon roasted chicken dinner (this time thanks to myself!) and watched movies in bed until we fell asleep. We cannot wait for our next trip to Angel Mountain. Just being here is so relaxing. It is truly beautiful. And we felt like the cabin was our little home :) Again, thank you for everything. Love, Cassie & Doug

Thank you both for making us feel so welcome! Your property is breathtaking, your cabin is gorgeous, your hospitality is generous, and your catfish are 'gi-normous' (as Asher put it). Thank you both again for giving us such a wonderful memory. Sarah, Henry, Raven, and Asher

This place was truly incredible - you guys thought of everything, and I hope to see you again. Thank you for your kindness. Take care - Kelly

Thank you so much for a wonderful weekend! We had a great time. We just love the cabin and hope to come here again. We loved visiting the area, too. It is so beautiful. Thank you for your hospitality and kindness. Sandy

Thanks to you and your husband for sharing your charming cabin and for everything you've provided to make it enjoyable for your guests. Every year we go some place different for our anniversary. This is one of our favorites. (We spent four nights at Angel Mountain Cabin to celebrate our 15th anniversary. We loved the cabin and the area is beautiful. The Baldwins added so many special touches to the cabin to make it feel like home for their guests. We especially loved the fact that we could bring our two Pomeranian furbabies, Keesha and Holly. Sadly, this was Keesha's last vacation, as she passed away three weeks later at age 15 1/2. One of her nicknames was "Earth Angel," so it was very fitting that her last vacation with us was to Angel Mountain Cabin. We definitely want to go back). Carl and Sherrion

Thank you for everything this weekend. We loved our stay in your cabin. We finally got the relaxing weekend we both needed. Your cabin is so cute & CLEAN. You take a lot of pride in it and it shows. Thanks again, Mike & Rebecca

This weekend has been so absolutely perfect. We love this cabin. The location is amazing. This place, after just one visit, already holds so many memories for us (we were engaged yesterday!). We will be long time customers :) You have a wonderful place and a wonderful story. Thank you for letting us share it. Love, Elizabeth & Adam

Thanks so much - we had a great time, and even saw a rainbow over the cabin after the storm ended! We will definitely look forward to coming back again... Karen, Paul, and Henry

Everything was wonderful! perfect! heavenly! Your cabin is comfortable & cozy and we slept like babies. ...our lives have been quite hectic & filled with lots of ups and downs over the last couple of years. This weekend has been just what Tim and I needed for US. Thank you for your hospitality. I was quite overjoyed by all the chocolate! Hope to see you again! Tim & Marie

We had such a great time - this is the cutest cabin! And what a view. Thank you, Greg & Gloria

Taken by cabineer Dwain Snyder/Snyder Photography

Just wanted to express my gratitude for your warm hospitality! The couple days we spent there was absolutely one of the most special experiences I have ever had. The cabin was so cute and quaint, the scenery breathtaking, and the clean air was just what this yankee needed! lol I will surely be raving about Jefferson to anyone who will listen! Take care and hope to see you soon. BTW....Seeing how beautiful the cemetery was... was wonderful and bittersweet and I feel privileged for being able to have that experience. Thank you. Jocelyn

We cannot thank you enough - what a wonderful slice of heaven. John, Kathryn, Kuma, & Chyna

We want to thank you for letting us enjoy Angel Mountain Cabin. We had a wonderful time. It's so peaceful here. The cabin had all we could ever need! Thank you for helping us get that much-needed relax time. Even though we missed the boy, it was all we dreamed of! Can't wait to come back! Stephanie & Allen

I WANNA COME BAAACCCK!!! It is sooooo hot and muggy here....and we gotta cut grass. Thanks again for a wonderful weekend. It was one to remember. Love and prayers, Phyllis

Taken by cabineer Dwain Snyder/Snyder Photography

We love the cabin. It is so cozy and perfect for us and the pups. The backyard is protective and secluded so I don't worry about my dogs. I am so grateful that we have the cabin to come to. Ed & Leslie

Thanks so much. We had a great stay here. There were special touches all over! We felt so welcome! It's so beautiful here. Jerry & Karen

Trey and I absolutely loved our time at Angel Mountain and had such a sense of peace and happiness while staying in your cabin. Thank you so very much for your hospitality, your kind gifts and also for allowing us to share your special retreat! I did make a delicious blackberry cobbler with the berries we collected on the property about two weeks after we returned home and it brought back such fun memories for us both! Beth

What a cute place! Dawn, Brad, & Ashley The 3-hour drive was worth it. Thank you for use of the cabin. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay even though it was only for 1 night. May God bless you and your family and I am positive that we will be back. Kevin & Crystal

Thank you so much for the accommodations at your cabin. It was a beautiful home away from home for the weekend. See you again - Nancy

This past weekend was a GREAT BLESSING - thank you, Helen, so very much! Warmest regards, Libby

Just a follow up note to say what a wonderful time we had and to thank you for your lovely hospitality. The cabin is set up so nicely with so many useful and thoughtful touches. Loved the hot chocolate and coffee especially. Very comfortable and of course very convenient. We'll be back and will tell our friends about it too. Have a great Autumn! Deana

I second Deana's note - we'll definitely be back! Thanks, Rachel

Thank you so much!!! We had an incredible time. I sat on the back porch with my book. I enjoyed the breeze and the view. I really enjoyed the added bonus of getting to pick & eat blackberries :) The cabin was clean, comfortable, and cozy.... The stay was beyond my expectations. The especially nice touches are the videos, books, and games. The basket of tea, popcorn, and little containers of chocolate... very thoughtful. I don't have to tell you, "I'll be back." I'm sure the memory of this 'little piece of heaven' will call me back over & over again. Until next time, God bless - Melissa
