10/10 Excellent
"The property itself was modern and well cared-for despite the Old West vibe of the exterior. The only problem was a balky TV remote which probably needed new batteries."

"We had an excellent couple of nights at Hiker’s Hideaway! The cabin was extremely clean, the kitchen was well appointed, and the property was super quiet, especially at night. The porches and fire pit were perfect for spending time outside. It was also a great location for hiking Hazard Cave/Natural Bridge at Pickett and the Twin Arches Loop at BSF."

10/10 Excellent
"We really enjoyed our stay here. It was a very comfortable stay with many thoughtful amenities available to use. The interior was very clean and well appointed with everything you would for a comfortable stay. The outside space in back was perfect with a hot tub, fire pit and grill. Don’t forget some fire wood. The location in Wartburg is very convenient and close to many parks for outdoor activities. Oak Ridge is a short drive away, and offers more opportunities for activity. Adam our host was very responsive and answered all questions we had in a timely manner. We own recreational property in the area and it was super convenient for us to get to.We would definitely stay again when we visit the area again."
