My 15-year-old son and I wanted to get away to a father-son ATV get away for the Thanksgiving Holiday. I searched several vacation rental properties (thru VRBO), and this particular one caught my eye because there was enough space to park the trailer, and all we had to do was hop on the ATV's and drive to the Windrock Trail System (#26 & #27). No trailering required once at the cabin. The first night, Joe (owner) called to make sure we were settled in and make sure all was going well. Knowing that we were there to ride the Windrock trails, Joe offered to lead us on a tour the next day, and boy did he. While we did download the trail system map on our phones (which was tremendously helpful), Joe took us through trails and sites that we would never have traveled. There is no replacement for local knowledge. His insight of the mountains and trails was a game changer. Being new to the area, it was nice to be able to follow, than to try to figure it ourselves.
So far, my review centers around the excellent proximity to the Windrock Trails and the excellent hospitality provided by the owners. Now let's review property itself.
When approaching this property, you drive down a scenic gravel lane passing through two gates, which lead you to the cabin surrounded by trees, all of which provide you with maximum seclusion while being only minutes from 2 gas stations, a bar and grill that cooks excellent cheeseburgers and fries, and as I mentioned earlier, minutes away from the trails. The property is beautiful through and through, horses in the pasture, a stone fire pit with plenty of comfortable seating, covered front porch, and a sand volleyball area. The inside of the cabin was equally impressive. The kitchen was equipped with all the necessary utensils, stocked with extras such as paper plates, paper towel, zip lock bags, etc. The cabin was clean and ready for our arrival. Bed slept great as well.
It is evident that there is pride in ownership and the owners are only interested in making our/your stay the best experience possible. I speak of staying here because of the Windrock Trails, but the property would perfect regardless of the reason for your stay. We are an active family and have stayed at many VRBO properties throughout the years. I give both the property the entire experience an A+. We felt so comfortable here that we will make this an annual event. Thank you Joe and Joni.
