This road is not ideal for exotic, luxury, low-clearance vehicles like Corvettes, Ferraris, or vehicles with Body Kits. Motorcycle travel depends on rider's skill level & comfort on gravel. We do have parking for trailers upon request. 

The PROPERTY: 
Enjoy the miles of private stream with an abundance of water falls and hand hewed bridges. Be sure to bring a fly rod and your favorite fishing gear to see what you can catch.
If it's a hike you're looking for, we invite you to explore the property's five miles of private hiking trails with ample room for discovery. Pack a lunch and snacks for a full day of adventure and be sure to bring along your camera to snap a shot of the abundant wildlife, waterfalls, streams, and various mountain views. The region, located in the Appalachian biosphere, is home to the world's densest population of salamanders. Be sure not to touch them though, this protected species is known for the unique characteristic of breathing through its skin.

Beautiful cabin in a great location
My family & I had a great time. This is the 1st cabin I've been to that had such a well stocked kitchen where I had to put away everything I brought up there. The location & property were beautiful. You can do some serious hiking on the land around the cabins. The cabin was clean & everything we expected it to be. Kali the property mgr is so helpful & sweet. We'd definitely come back again.

Wasn’t quite what I was expecting
Driveway was rocky and hard to navigate on bikes. Basement smelled of mold and mildew so wasn’t able to use bedroom due to intense odor. Shower water pressure was inconsistent and made showering not easy. Also doesn’t drain well leaving you standing in water. Wall unit hvac in main bedroom didn’t work.

Peaceful retreat
Our group of 5 adults stayed for one week with our dogs. The cabin was plenty big, the beds were comfortable, and we had all the kitchen equipment we needed for preparing our meals. We especially appreciated the opportunities to hike on property, near beautiful streams, with the dogs. We would definitely consider returning to Huffman Creek Retreat.

Fantastic stay on a beautiful property.
The directions to the property were spot on. The house was spotless and very nice. The only thing that might give someone caution with rent this house is that you have to go back a gravel road to get to it. If you're an inexperienced rider you may have a problem. We did not have any issues with bringing in our trailer or riding in and out. A group of Harleys didn't seem to have a problem either. I just think that you should know. We are looking forward to booking this property again. We had a great time and loved the house.

Short comings
Great place to get away from it all. However, floors and rugs were very dirty, only two trays of ice in freezer for family of nine, and showed pictures of gas logs, but were not usable.

It was an awesome home! Thank you for sharing it with us. I am 62 and hiked up to the plane crash! It was a rough climb but was well worth it. We had the best time of our lives! The house was plenty big enough. So many trails and waterfalls.

5 of us stayed there for 7 nights. And I can truly say that we had a great time. We saw a lot of different sights that were absolutely beautiful. Even if I give the grill a rating of a 1. I still give the cabin a 5 star rating. I would recommend replacing the grill with a better char coal grill with a lid. So you can cook your food better. I can truly say that who ever stays there I hope that they have as good a time as we did. Thank You
