There was 10 of us and we enjoyed every bit of our 2 night stay. We had plenty of room. We enjoyed the hot tub, mini golf course and the game room. Would definitely stay here again!
It's a beautiful space, and while it wasn't huge, it was easily big enough for our group of 8. The area is beautiful and secluded, but not isolated, and all the features and little details in the cabin (hot tub, cute mini-golf, etc.) appealed to all the different ages in our family.
I couldn't think of a better spot for a bachelor weekend for a bunch of guys approaching middle age. We had every meal out at the big table on the covered porch, and spent endless hours on the rocking chairs. I would definitely host another weekend for 10 people in the same spot.
Great cabin with lots of entertainment for a family
The cabin had everything we needed and provided lots of entertainment for our kids while we were there. The host responded quickly to questions. There was actually one more bed than I realized from the listing. There is a queen bed in the loft area with its own bathroom. So we had plenty of room to spread out!
6 stars! This place was fantastic, and we loved every minute of it. The vibe was super chill and peaceful, but there was also a ton to do. I spent some time working on my putting with the mini-golf and then relaxed in the hot tub. The Pac-Man arcade was a fun challenge—I kept trying to beat the high score but never quite made it, haha! The gravel driveway was a bit bumpy, but it wasn’t bad at all. We can’t wait to visit again!
Excellent! I will say I believe the listing does not do it justice. It’s actually 3 levels and 4 bedrooms.. 3 with queens I believe and 3 bathrooms and a bedroom with 6 bunks downstairs with the playroom.. the game room was awesome all the games actually had the pieces! The arcade game was awesome! There’s also a big outdoor connect 4 game where the golf course is… Everything is covered on the porch except the hot tub so we didn’t bake in July playing outside.. 10/10 will stay again!!!!
This cabin in the GA mountains was an excellent choice for anyone with young-to-teen age kids. Options for the kids included a miniature golf course around the awesome decks, cornhole on the decks, a hot tub, an arcade-style game in the "game room" lower level, lots of other games available, and really comfortable bunk beds (total of 3 sets of bunks.) The main level was roomy enough for our group of 9 folks to eat, relax, and play games at the dining room table. The loft area was a wonderful place for a couple to have some alone time. All of the beds were comfortable and cozy on the cool fall nights in the mountains. The driveway was rather steep but negotiable. Overall, an excellent cabin in the woods for family get togethers.
Hosts were responsive to some of our questions. Cabins is taken care of, mini golf holes are in good shape as are all of the other entertainment options.
It's a great cabin if you want to have a day or two where you literally don't go anywhere. Just unwind and enjoy being in the mountains.
One note: Be careful driving down the road. I had a minivan and bumped the HECK out of it, thankfully no damage but could've hit the oil pan. It's bumpy, so take it very low if you're in a vehicle low to the ground.
Overall, this place had everything we needed for our family Christmas vacation. We were able to cook every meal during our stay with the kitchen items that were available. There were plenty of rooms/beds for our large family of 8. We did feel as if the entire cabin could use a good cleaning. One of the main things I had an issue with is the moldy water reservoir on the Keurig. The location is also not what we are used to when booking a cabin and it is not very high up in the mountains. The road/driveway to get to the cabin driveway was very rough. We enjoyed our stay but will opt for a different cabin next Christmas.
The owners reached out shortly after booking. They provided an online "instruction book" for the house that was very detailed and even had videos. That was a nice touch that I haven't seen before. The house was very clean and accurate to the photos. Actually, I think it was better than the photos. There were many things to do at the house, including fooseball, an arcade game, minerature golf, etc. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you need to cook in. There was also plenty of plates, glasses, and utnsils for a large group. We didn't use the hot tub because the air was pretty cold and windy, but did look and it appeared very clean. The beds were compfortable. We were very happy here and would stay here again.
This property is beautiful and inviting. It is the perfect place for families to get together and spend some quality time. It is easily accessible with a normal car and so close to Blue Ridge downtown/restaurants etc. The hosts are very welcoming and easy to contact if needed for questions. We highly recommend this for your mountain getaway!
We loved spending time at the cabin with my family and my sister’s family. The kids loved their “kids only” bunk room, playing in the hot tub, and making s’mores around the fire pit. Lounging on the huge wrap around deck and grilling burgers was the icing on the cake to a perfect weekend spending quality time with family!
Great and big cabin with small price
Amazing Cabin! Our family had one of our best Blue Ridge vacations of all-time! And that's from many years of renting. The cabin was luxurious, spotless, so well cleaned and the furnishings were wonderful. We had everything we needed. I highly recommend this place to stay!
This cabin is great for a family or multi family get away plenty of space to spread out or come together for meals, games and talk. Fire pit is great for s’mores. Close to down for shopping and dining. We hope to be back next year
So much to do here at the property there was no need to leave.The road to the driveway was steep and washed out by the rain so it was a bit scary. Nothing the owners can do about that though. The driveway was paved.
Super, cozy vibe. Didn’t feel comfortable with video cameras. Felt like being watched. Location was perfect. Cabin was awesome. Wrap around porch and family table were great.
Perfect Gift for Daughter's High School Graduation
Upon my daughter graduating from high school, we were looking for a non-traditional gift for her to enjoy with her friends. When the idea of a cabin retreat came up, I began researching options and this property was perfect for what we had in mind. The girls were able to bond and really enjoy each other before each heads off to college. While the weather wasn't great for doing a lot of exploring in Blue Ridge, the property had enough amenities to keep the girls entertained and comfortable for the duration of their stay. The only left the cabin once during their weekend. That says a lot about how much the property was perfect for their needs.
