My husband and I stayed here 11-15 though 11-17-08. It was the perfect place to celebrate my 60th Birthday. The place is gorgeous with all the authentic wood inside and out and the stone fireplace, WOW. We loved just sitting in front of the fire. It was cold and snowing while we were there and it was very nice since we are from Florida. Most of the rentals only had electric or gas fire places and we wanted a real one. The jaccuzzi is very refreshing and we enjoyed it. The view is awesome from the windows, we even saw some of the changing color still in the leaves.

This mountain trip was a present to me from my boy friend to celebrate my graduation from nursing school and my birthday. Little did I know that he had more planned. On our first full day we had so much fun. We walked down to the falls, had breakfast at Trust Cafe(I love their fresh baked wheat bread), relaxed on th porch and listened to the falls and even watched a little football. As we were grilling ribeyes I was thinking how perfect the day had been. Then, my boyfriend got down on one knee and asked me to marry him! We spent the rest of the week celebrating our engagement! We have cherished our time here at the cabin, relaxing on the porch, soaking in the whirlpool tub, reading books and cooking together. We have thoroughly enjoyed this "snuggly" cabin. It had everything we needed and was the most relaxing place we have ever been. Thanks you, Steve and Cindy, for creating such a wonderful mountain getaway. We look forward to coming back here in the future and re-living our "engagement vacation".

I spent weeks trying to locate a cabin to rent for our honeymoon. It was a bit challenging as I was studying in Thailand at the time. I am extremely finicky about things like this-- even more so than my wife-to-be. After much searching on-line, reading so many reviews, and great deliberation, I settled confidently on Winding Falls Cabin. I had interviewed my fiance' and asked her what characteristics she would want in a honeymoon getaway. She used the following words to describe what she thought would be ideal: cozy; cabin; good kitchen; private; mountains; forested (vs. perched on an overlook); hiking; close to small town (vs. big city); near water would be nice (but not necessary). I wrote down her description.

I was so happy to discover this cabin as it so closely resembled what my wife-to-be thought would be fantastic. I kept the cabin's website and description a surprise, only providing clues to the general location. She was thoroughly surprised and impressed.

It was so wonderful to discover this cabin. Steve and Cindy, the owners, have made this place to be an amazing retreat. It is so marvelously relaxing. The inside is super clean and so well decorated. We enjoyed walks through the snow and along the river, great cooked meals in their beautifully furnished kitchen, relaxation in front of the fire, and so much quiet and peace. What a joy to pull out the notebook with her original description from months before and see how closely it paralleled the qualities within and surrounding Winding Falls Cabin.

On an interesting note, the day we were to arrive there was almost two feet of snow, so we were delayed in getting into the cabin by two days. Steve and Cindy were very open about the situation providing updates, extremely fair in the arrangements, and went out of their way to make our time there very special. It was a memorable place for us to unwind and relax for us "newlyweds" and one we plan to return to in the future.

The cabin and their owners are well respected from what we learned in town and for sure that was our experience. Thank you, Steve and Cindy, for such a wonderful week at Winding Falls.
