This was such a nice place to stay. And it was right off the Blue Ridge Parkway and so close to the music center.

Great bed, all amenities available, cute ambiance. Recommend arriving in daylight, which we did not, because it’s really dark after sunset! The host was very helpful and kind.

The cabin is a wonderful place to stay. The bed is super comfortable, the towels are soft, the kitchen is equipped, and everything is clean. Check-in was simple, parking was ample, and communication with the host was fantastic. I loved the beautiful fall decorations throughout the rooms. If I am ever in the area again, I would not hesitate to book this property.

This property was so comfortable and homey, and the location was unbeatable if traveling on the Parkway. The host (Shelia) is fabulous at communicating and is very accommodating. She added lovely fall decorations to the place to make it extra special. The bed is very comfortable, as well. We would love to stay here again if back in the area! A+++++

We had a quick but wonderful stay here at this cabin. All the communication was easy and the cabin was perfect when we arrived. It has everything you need. And I appreciate that even the decorations were changed for fall. Out here. You're in the middle of nowhere and at 3:00 a.m. we woke up to check out the stars and saw several meteors. Keep in mind that you are in the middle of nowhere and there's no Wi-Fi. I would time your visit with the Blue ridge music center where there are events all the time and wonderful events from 12:00 to 4:00. I wish I could tell you that I found something that they could do better but honestly the place has it all.

The toilet seat was VERY loose . The back porch and chairs were filthy. The television was not connected and no instructions on how to use. No information for contacting the company anywhere in the facility. Otherwise nice enough.

Gorgeous stars in a dark sky and a beautiful sunset highlight this romantic getaway. Owners were very available to answer questions before we arrived and we had a lovely quiet and enjoyable time. We went in to Galax for Dinner at the Creek Bottom Brewery which had love music on the Saturday night.

My sister and I had a great time at the cabin, as a home base for fall foliage blue ridge parkway touring, and checking out nearby Galax and Mt. Airy. We enjoyed seeing the deer and cows nearby. The cabin had everything you needed- bed was comfy and the gas fireplace was charming. Great find!

As a Anniversary getaway, this cabin was simply amazing. Well hidden, easy accessible and was the most amazing experience. It was gorgeous and very comfortable. Very clean and the owners terrific. As described, it was the best hidden gem. We are sure to return when we come to town to visit family. AAAAA+++++ experience!!! Watson Family

It was definitely a getaway. Quiet. No cellphone service, which wasn’t so bad. Just quality time spent with a loved one. Cabin was cute. Bed was very soft. There were a couple games in there. Stayed for 2 nights. We found a movie theater and a bowling alley. We also rented some bikes and rode 20 miles. I recommend this spot, if you’re looking for a rest stop or just a simply peaceful time.

We just stayed this weekend to celebrate our 10 year anniversary and it was great. Quiet, clean, kitchen was well equiped all you need to do is bring the ingredients, bed was comfortable, couch was too, the towels were so soft and it was all just wonderful. Definitely better than a lot of places we have stayed Just off the Blue Ridge Parkway with beautiful grounds., we enjoyed watching the cows across the way in a pasture. We definitely want to come back with the family.

Cabin was cute and very clean. There is not internet. Television is in a corner where you really could not watch it from the couch if you wanted to watch. But other than these two things this was a great little place for a few nights. We were out and about the whole time so the two above mentioned things were not an issue for us. But my husband did bring those things to my attention that it would have been a problem had he needed to do some business while there or if he wanted to watch a ball game or something. We would stay here again for a stop over for one night.
