5 STar reviews!
Fantastic and comfy cabin, worth the money. Hot water is instant and lovely after a long hike outside. Dogs are welcome and stress free. Only feedback would be, need a few extras in the cabin, cutting board, cooking oil, coffee cups, coffee, glass ware.
The area is quite remote, but 1 minute drive to the main town high street, Coffee and Drugs restaurant is fantastic with a wonderful chef! Local food shops are very expense, bring food/booze with you.
The cabin was perfect for a weekend getaway! Host stopped by upon arrival and introduced themselves and made sure everything was good. I did ask for an extra towel and was promptly provided one. I would suggest stocking paper goods such as napkins or paper towels. Overall the cabin was fantastic. Can’t wait for the other cabins to be completed and my extended family can book multiple!
Rhett suite was beautiful loved the kitchen and peaceful scenery. The grill area was very relaxing the grill was perfect for dinner. Enjoy getting to experience the morning run the chicken coup for fresh eggs!! They were very attentive and easily available after we accidentally locked ourselves out. Definitely going to visit again for a weekend stay.

Safety
Except during the brief total phase of a total solar eclipse, when the Moon completely blocks the Sun’s bright face, it is not safe to look directly at the Sun without specialized eye protection for solar viewing. Viewing any part of the bright Sun through a camera lens, binoculars, or a telescope without a special-purpose solar filter secured over the front of the optics will instantly cause severe eye injury.
When watching the partial phases of the solar eclipse directly with your eyes, which happens before and after totality, you must look through safe solar viewing glasses (“eclipse glasses”) or a safe handheld solar viewer at all times. You can also use an indirect viewing method, such as a pinhole projector.
What to Expect
The April 8, 2024, eclipse will be a total solar eclipse. It will be the last total solar eclipse visible from the contiguous United States until 2044.
A total solar eclipse happens when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, completely blocking the face of the Sun. People viewing the eclipse from locations where the Moon’s shadow completely covers the Sun – known as the path of totality – will experience a total solar eclipse. The sky will darken, as if it were dawn or dusk. Weather permitting, people along the path of totality will see the Sun’s corona, or outer atmosphere, which is usually obscured by the bright face of the Sun.
Where & When
The April 8, 2024, total solar eclipse will begin over the South Pacific Ocean and will cross North America, passing over Mexico, United States, and Canada. Weather permitting, the first location in continental North America that will experience totality is Mexico’s Pacific coast at around 11:07 a.m. PDT.
The path of the eclipse continues from Mexico, entering the United States in Texas, and traveling through Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine. The eclipse will enter Canada in Southern Ontario, and continue through Quebec, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, and Nova Scotia. The eclipse will exit continental North America on the Atlantic coast of Newfoundland, Canada, at 5:16 p.m. NDT.
A FEW QUICK FACTS FROM NASA
1.
After the total solar eclipse on April 8, 2024, the next total solar eclipse that can be seen from the contiguous United States will be on Aug. 23, 2044.
2.
We can’t normally see the corona – the Sun’s outer atmosphere – because the Sun’s surface below it is so much brighter. But during a total solar eclipse, the corona becomes visible, offering unique opportunities to study it.3.
When the Moon completely blocks the visible surface of the Sun during a total solar eclipse, viewers can remove their eclipse glasses. A total solar eclipse is the only type of solar eclipse where eclipse glasses can be momentarily removed.
4.
When a solar eclipse reaches totality, nocturnal wildlife sometimes wakes up, thinking that it’s nighttime, and non-nocturnal wildlife might think it’s time to head to sleep!ECLIPSE GLASSES WILL BE AVAILABLE TO PURCHASE ON SITE DURING THE EVENT.
Protective Eyewear
Invest in certified solar viewing glasses to protect your eyes during the eclipse. Ensure they comply with ISO 12312-2 safety standards to avoid damage to your eyes.
