Enjoyed our stay very much. Cabin was outfitted well to cook in and we enjoyed the porches and tabletop fire. Furniture was comfortable and cleaning crew left it picture perfect as we opened the door. Hopefully, we can return soon!
My family of 4 loved every minute of our stay in this cabin from the fully equipped kitchen to the comfortable beds. From the hot tub under the stars to the nice roads to walk and the pond nearby. We enjoyed being able to travel 2 hours into Chattanooga TN for a day and then 1 hour to Georgia wildlife park another day. Also there are many awesome hiking trails to take not more than 20 -30 minutes from the cabin which have fabulous views. The owners were welcoming and excellent with communication. The cabin was everything as explained on the website and more beautiful and comfy than the pics. I highly recommend this place for families.

From Owner: Hello Gina, We want to thank you so very much for the lovely review of your stay at Golden's Retreat! We are so happy that you enjoyed the time there and felt it was more beautiful than the pictures! We hope to once again have the opportunity to host you and your family! Have a great summer :) Janie & Rick
Our stay was very nice. The cabin was wonderful. Clean, pet friendly, nicely laid out with big wrap around porch, partly enclosed, partly covered, and partly open. Also had gate on one end, so we were able to lick the dog on the porch. The only negative was the poor Wi-Fi connection during the rain. I had to work on Friday and it rained all day. The Wi-Fi was so slow, it took forever to download files and the tv froze often. It was definitely a 5 star place, even with the slow Wi-Fi. Hot tub, fire table outside, board games inside and close to many trails at the end of the street. Hope to come back when it is not the rainy season.

Owner's Response: "Hello Cindy, We want to thank you so much for your kind review of our cabin! We are so sorry about the WiFi. Unfortunately, our WiFi comes via satellite and not a direct line. This can cause occasional service issues. The local providers cannot get us a direct connection fast enough. We are waiting with anticipation for the providers to get us a better connection. In reference to TV, we have two options, Streaming and Direct TV. That was the reason we chose to have both. We certainly understand the slowness, we work as well when we are there and I joke sometimes about how long it takes for things to download, but being in the mountains, we have to get what they offer and supply us with. Hopefully, this will change in the future. Again, however, I want to thank you so very much for the lovely review, and hope that we have the opportunity to host you again! Have a lovely summer :)"
This cabin is perfect! It’s extremely clean! Has everything you need. The owners did a beautiful job decorating. My family and I really enjoyed our stay. We will definitely be back! Thanks again for sharing your cabin with us!
