Me and my family had a wonderful vacation, one of the best we have ever had, I loved that the cabin had no wifi and no television, it was great to escape and enjoy my grandchildren, we swam everyday in the beautiful lake, we took our kayaks out every morning and evening, we fished, hiked, made smores, played corn hole, played cards, it was amazing, the staff at the lake were awesome, I highly recommend this to everyone, it's great for children and parents to escape technology for a while.

Stephanie and her husband are always so helpful and we truly appreciate them and FindOutdoors for the work they do. This was our 5th stay at the cabin at Lake Winfield Scott and I’m not sure how many times we have hiked to Anna Ruby Falls but it never gets old.
It’s our hope that soon the cabin at Lake Winfield Scott may be available year round. If it were we would certainly come more often. Some wish it had heat but we love the wood stove. Now if they want us mid summer then at least window unit A/C is a must. Overall our only complaint really is the gravel driveway… forget it if you don’t have 4x4. We do have it so no big deal for us.
Find Outdoors we sure hope to hear that the cabin will soon be open year round but until then we will certainly plan to book as early as we can in the spring hoping for a cold enough weekend for the wood stove.

I had a great time at the cabin at Lake Winfield Scott. The cabin is big, with a huge upstairs open bedroom with about 4 beds lined on both walls (about 8 beds in total). With a washer and dryer upstairs. The downstairs has a huge open kitchen, dinning, living room, with a wood burning space heater that looks great when lit and produces enough heat. Downstairs there is also a tub/shower with toilet and vanity bathroom. The bathroom looks like it was remodeled recently. Clean and open. The limestone driveway that leads off the main asphalt road is pretty steep so you may want to make sure you have good grip tires. If you don't want to park your vehicle on the steep driveway you can do what I did and park your vehicle across the driveway where there is just a slab that must be where the other cabin must have been, because it is close enough and flat. The lake is nice, the staff are friendly. Just be warned to NOT bring your own wood you have to buy it locally there at $5 a bundle which is a fair price. I would recommend cabin or even the RV/tent spots here.

Initially booked two nights in the only cabin at the location. No cell phone coverage. The cabin itself was fine, except the beds were horrid. Like they were leftovers from an army supply hut in 1970. Board-like Hard. Lumpy. Squeaks with any movement. I chose one and tried to fall asleep yet could not. So, in the middle of the first night I packed up my belongings and headed back to Atlanta. A two hour drive; much of it a windy mountain rural two lane backroad.
I tried all seven beds and they are all the same.... I challenge anyone weighing over 100 pounds to get a decent night's sleep. So I left and lost two night rent @ 125 per night = $250. Please refund my money. Otherwise, the lake and grounds were fine.

Cabin is awesome for a family or group that is cool with sharing one large open room to sleep. If you need privacy it’s not for you. If you are looking for an experience to bring the family/group together this is for you. The driveway is very difficult and you might need 4x4. We hope they fix that sooner than later. The new campground managers are awesome and bend over backwards to help. The wood stove is fantastic but gets the cabin very warm so take it easy start small and build the fire if needed. Open windows if you get hot the breeze is great. The kitchen has a decent fridge/freezer, stove is ok but needs replaced, microwave is old but works, sink is ok (water sprays weird but the sprayer is great), the kitchen table is a big old school farm table we loved. The porch is fantastic and has a fire pit close by. There’s a washer/dryer upstairs.

Lake Winfield Scott is a gorgeous location with access to hiking on AT. Our experience both at the campground and cabin was fantastic.
