Absolutely perfect for a quiet stay in the mountains on a beautiful creek. Start a fire and gaze at the infinite space above while standing next to the creek at night. Wake up in the morning have a cup on the back porch to the creek sounds and rushing waters. Take a drive anywhere and you will be amazed how around every few turns there is something new and delightful to see. Just non-stop untouched earth. You dont even need an itinerary.. trust. Completely grounding if youre coming from the city or a tourist destination like Ft Myers, FL. Unmatched serenity and terrain around every corner. It was so nice to come home to Bessie's after a long day out and relax by the fire and babbling creek... just amazing. There are no pictures I could take that would do this place justice. Just minutes from beautiful vistas, rivers, lakes, mountains and trails and lookoffs. Non-Stop eye candy and wonder. The host was very responsive and kind. We stayed in late November so the weather was 50s-60s during the day and 40's 30s at night. 10 to 20 degrees cooler up in the Smoky's. Dont forget to grab some newspapers and maybe a couple starter logs as the climate was very moist in the evenings and mornings. It will make getting a fire going a bit easier. The fire wood was dry and plentyful. Everything was Perfect! We will be back and thats a promise. Thank You so much, Michael and Joyce.

Quaint and clean. I am originally from this area and knew its location. It was just what i was looking for. Remote and no neighbors within line of sight.

Bessie's place was amazing...the inside was a little quirky but it's an old house. The back porch and private yard with a creek are so relaxing! It rained most of the days we were there but I sat on the back porch and listened to the rain and creek it was great. We will be staying here again!

I have several pictures of bugs, webs, the porch not cleaned. It made it very hard to sit outside at all. I have pictures if you like to see them
