Our Anniversary Get-Away
Alpha's Log Cabin in the woods exceeded our expectations held when we selected this location for our 37th anniversary get-away. The cabin itself is a wonderful lodging place located on a beautiful secluded wooded site where no other dwellings are in view, with a well-kept small yard and attractive flower/shrub beds that all served to give us a nestled-in, very comfortable feeling. The specially themed cabin was very tidy and amenities very well organized; we felt right at home. Dinah even graciously provided us with the added special touch of anniversary best wishes complete with tasty cookies and jam! Adding to an already-superb setting, Alpha's Log Cabin comes complete with a babbling brook that one can view right from the front porch (while relaxing and sipping on hot coffee), front and back yards, and even from the kitchen window! During our stay we thoroughly enjoyed the gurgling sounds of this creek as the water flowed across the rocky streambed. Several different songbirds, including a whip-poor-will with its night song, provided great background music. With all of these experiences in hand, we absolutely loved our anniversary get-away stay at Alpha's Log Cabin!

We had an absolutely amazing time. There were so many thoughtful aspects put into the property from things you may have forgotten to things to do. It was so peaceful and homey. Everything was spotless and clean. We will be back for a summer trip. The snow we got to see was the cherry on top of the trip.

Weekend Heaven
The cabin was beautiful, clean, and just what we were hoping for. The seclusion makes for great star gazing and animal watching, I was fortunate to have my coffee on the porch while watching deer. The wood fireplace was probably my favorite part. We definitely plan on using the cabin more in the future. Dinah was a fantastic host and was easy to contact/communicate with!

Charming Cabin
Wow, Dinah was wonderful about giving accurate directions to her charming cabin. So many thoughtful touches made us feel welcome. We had everything we needed for a delightful two-night stay. We enjoyed a hike at the Dolly Sods (1.5 hr drive) and lunch at the Gateway Family Restaurant. We also enjoyed browsing the flea market in Franklin, but our favorite activity was hanging out at the cabin! Thanks, Dinah!

Everything about the cabin was great! Its beautiful, neat, comfortable and clean. Sitting on the front porch drinking coffee in the morning listening to the creek and we saw a family of deer on several days. Nothing bad to say about our experience here. Will definately be back!

Lovely Cabin
I cannot tell you how sweet and charming this cabin is in words! It sits far back off the main road, at the end of a private gravel side road. In the morning we could hear the moo's of cattle in a neighboring pasture faintly echo off the hillsides. It had a big front porch for drinking coffee on. The host has a little bit of everything you could need while keeping the cabin very organized and nicely decorated. She was thoughtful without being overbearing or having any tedious requests. It was a little distance from Seneca Rocks as you have to navigate around the curvey mountain pass. German Valley is on the way though and it gives you something to stop and admire on your way in and out that direction. I will brag to everyone about the little cabin in the woods!

Really delightful stay!
We were looking for a “little house on the prairie” experience with the children where we could just relax and play with them and it was perfect! We read a few chapters (edited) of Tom Sawyer to the kids, had a picnic in the grassy field, explored around the creek, laid in the hammock, had s’mores over the campfire, and all of our meals at the round table in the kitchen! It was really sweet, slow and just what we were looking for! Thank you for hosting well!!

Beautiful log cabin next to a small stream down a private dirt road. Includes all kitchenware, towels, sheets, candles, matches/lighter, books and crayons, streaming tv, a/c in bedroom, ceiling fans and comfortable furniture. Has a charcoal grill, a fire-pit with grill, a variety of outdoor seating to include a hammock! All amenities in excellent working order, even hot water and water pressure! Multiple personal, homey touches through out, they thought of everything, even foil and plastic wrap! Love the welcome gift of cookies and jam waiting for us! So thoughtful, thank you! Saw two small bucks going across the yard up into the woods the evening we got there! We had a most enjoyable and relaxing weekend, much needed, thank you!

Relax an Unwind
This beautiful log cabin is tucked up against a babbling creek in a private location. The only noises you hear are the ones from nature. Everything you need for a comfortable stress-free stay is included. My husband and I visited this location for a bike race high in the mountains and this cabin was the perfect place to recover. I took advantage of the claw foot tub for a good post-race soak, and we spent many hours on the front porch. The bed was comfortable and you are lulled to sleep at night by the gentle water flowing in the stream and distant hoots of owl. This is the perfect spot to jump into outdoor exploration/recreation.
