Dream Cabin
Such a nice place, even better than the pics. Love the cabin theme decor, beautifully decorated. Lots of room inside and out for a family to spread out. Thanks for keeping the kitchen well-stocked and leaving condiments/spices and kitchen supplies; we enjoyed cooking and preparing multiple meals. We were lucky to have perfect weather and spent most of our time outdoors enjoying the mountain views and fire pit. We weren't expecting such nice weather; I wish we had brought cornhole/outdoor games. Great location, close to stores and the little downtown area with restaurants and bars. We explored some falls and easy hikes in the area and along the Blue Ridge Pkwy, and spent a day in Asheville and Biltmore (about 40mins drive). The driveway was intimidating our first couple times up and down, but we got used to it, and it is definitely worth it to get to those great mountain views! We highly recommend this home!

Amazing view
Our family had a great time at the cabin! So cute and quaint and the view is the best part. Most sightseeing we did was about a 30 min drive but we were able to explore so many really cool areas. Highly recommend!

Mountain Getaway With A View
My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay! We loved spending time outside on the deck or at the fire pit taking in the views. The cabin is so nice and very well kept. We did a lot of cooking, and the kitchen was very well stocked with everything we needed. The grocery store is super close so that was a plus too. We also took day trips to Asheville, the Biltmore, and a couple hiking locations. The host was very accommodating and communicative. We are so grateful to have stayed at this unforgettable location!

Best Views Imaginable!
Best house in the mountains I have ever rented in NC and I typically rent a home twice a year. Especially spacious for us as we only had 2 couples spending the long weekend together. We really didn't use the downstairs. Beds were comfortable and the home met all our needs.The views of the mountains were simply stunning. The high quality outdoor furniture made staying outside so enjoyable. We did all of our cooking except for one lunch out and went to the Countryside BBQ in Marion. Amazing country cooking. This house will NOT dissappoint!

Magical Mountain Retreat
This cabin is exactly like the pictures. The views are magnificent! It was a bit chilly but being from Michigan that is our weather in December. The owner was very easy to work with and everything was either labeled or had directions on how to use it.

Another relaxing stay
We have had the chance to stay at this home a few times now. It’s larger than we need. We never even go upstairs or down, the main level is all we ever hang out on! Well and outside in the great chairs and by the fire pit for s'mores and books. We bring all we need and then some because we always cook all our meals there. Kitchen has what you need to get the job done and the grill is nice to use too. A big plus…at Christmas time there is a tree (more than one) and other decorations which is a must for me.
