If you can stomach driving up and down the side of a mountain to get to this gorgeous relaxing resort. I would say the owners and host are very nice. If you like to get away from society, this is the place for you. Definitely a place i wish we could have spent days at

CALl IT WHAT IT IS If you are an AT hiker looking for a place to sleep close to the trail, in the dry, this is a good option. The bed was clean, had a refrigerator and ceiling fan, but no coffee pot. The bathroom and shower are communal so be aware there is not a bathroom in each “cabin,” nor can you lock your door from the inside. Thus “resort” is misleading. I am not sure why they chose to include “resort” in naming this place. It is very clearly a nice rustic campground with four hostel structures and group fire pit.

This is a delightfully rustic area with really cute cabins if that is what you are looking for. There is a shared firepit and great community atmosphere. The Wi-fi did not work in our cabin, but you could get sporadic service if you sat outside. The bathrooms/shower house seem to be under renovation, but were nicer than outhouses. Because of the word "resort" in the title, I had higher expectations. Had it been advertised a little more accurately, I would have given it 4-5 stars.
