PERFECT Cozy Getaway
We absolutely loved our stay at Mammy's Cabin!!! This was such a great place to relax, unplug and enjoy the nature surrounding us. The adventure starts with the road up to the cabin, which was so fun to drive in our Jeep! If you're looking for the perfect "cabin in the woods" vibe, THIS IS IT.

was absolutely beautiful. I wanted to be secluded and away from the world and that’s exactly what this place gave me. It has a beautiful history and the place is absolutely breathtaking the mountains are gorgeous and the hot tub was perfect. The drive up is a little scary in a car (I was in a Nissan Sentra) and had no issues though but going down is a lot easier lol. It’s a beautiful place I loved it hope to stay again.

Wonderful stay in a delightful cabin!
Mammy’s Cabin was perfect for a long weekend away from the city. The cabin is rich in history and bursting with charm! We loved reading the story of how Mammy’s Cabin came to be- and finding our own connections along the way! The kitchen is well stocked, bed is comfy, and the views are spectacular! The hot tub was perfect after a day of hiking. We enjoyed cooking, local restaurants, and nearby hikes! It was a great weekend and we hope to be back!

Love this cabin!!
I cannot say enough about this little cabin! It is so peaceful and cozy. You have everything you need and even little notes to explain things you might not know. The cabin is small but just enough room. This history is very interesting as well. There is much to see in the area. I love waterfalls so this was the perfect place to find them. So many in the vicinity to see. Highlands is a nice little town not too far. Take the advice of the other reviews and arrive before dark. The road up to the cabin is not that bad but I wouldn't want to do it at night, at least the first time. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. I love Mammy's and look forward to a time where I will go back!

Mountain Top Refresh
Cabin was just what we craved. Quiet, nature, fireplace, proximity to hiking trails and…well who doesn’t love an outdoor hot tub! Glad we got there first time before dark and having 4-wheel drive while not completely necessary sure made the drives up & down more fun.

A most wonderful getaway!
Nestled on the very top of the mountain- this truly is a rustic gem. If you are looking for tvs and an easy in and out- this is not the place. However, if you are interested in unplugging, spending time in the hot tup soaking in the view and playing board games by the fire- this is the place. We had a wonderful time.

We had a wonderful time sitting on the ridge of our mountain sometimes completely obscured in the clouds. We enjoyed a cozy fire every day. The hot tub was a great way to get each day started. Can’t wait to go back to Mammy’s Cabin!

The best cabin I have ever stayed at
This cabin is the perfect place to escape to. It was freezing cold out but warm and comfortable inside. Sleeping in the loft listening to the rain on the metal roof put me to sleep in a second. The view was incredible. It's a bit of a hike up the mountain but worth the drive. I believe the elevation is about 4000 feet. As long as you use a low gear and go slow it's a beautiful drive up. Thank you for sharing.

Old timey small cabin at the top of the mountain. As the instructions tell you, it's better to get there the first time during daylight hours.

Quiet, relaxing weekend
We enjoyed the weekend so much! Such a beautiful cabin tucked into the woods up on the mountain with a gorgeous view. We could sit out on the porch and enjoy the quiet. Loved the hot tub on the deck! I would sit out in the morning with coffee and a hummingbird would come to visit. We visited The Pines Recreational area at Lake Glenville one day and hiked to High Falls, only about 30 min away. We had dinner one evening in Highlands at the Rainforest Bar and Grill which had great Mexican food and drinks. I definitely want to come back!

Log cabin at 4K feet of the Highlands
We stayed a week and loved it. A few things to note. Its a log cabin at the end of a winding road 4K feet up in the highlands. Yeah we had garbage piling up a bit towards the end and had a dead mouse one day. IT DOES NOT MATTER. Its a cabin at 4K feet with a hot tub and views off the back as well as walking distance in the other direction. I'd buy it if I could.

Perfect True Cabin Experience
My husband and I celebrated our 2nd wedding anniversary here. It was quite possibly the cutest little cabin at the top of the mountain. It was a little slow getting up there, probably more than I accounted for to get up and down the mountain to go to town but it was worth it. One day we had bad weather and just cooked everything there and spent the day in our PJs enjoying the fireplace and watching movies and putting puzzles together. We explored the area the next day and the waterfalls were breathtaking and beautiful. We would love to come back to this little comfy cabin. It was mostly clean, with only a few suggestions, such as a clean sponge for each new guest because there is no dishwasher and the sponge left was kinda gross already. Really, besides that we had most of what we needed!

Mountain getaway
The cabin is very cozy and accurately described in listing. It was cozy for two adults but got a little crowded when another couple visited. This is an older log cabin and could benefit from a deep cleaning of the interior structure - logs attract dust and cobwebs. We like to stay put once the car is parked and Mammy’s provided games, puzzles, dvds, and a good selection of books. The hot tub was nice (spa guy serviced it the day we arrived), plenty of firewood and the ridge line views in every direction were awesome! Our only recommendation is to add a good set of cookware, wine glasses and coffee mugs! As I said, we brought food and drink prepared to stay in and had to make do with pans that easily scorched and the odd assortment of mismatched mugs and glasses. Overall though- very relaxing and awesome location.
