We loved our week at this beautiful cabin nestled on a wooded mountain. Very comfortable and relaxing with plenty of room to spread out, or to spend time together. While close to many trails and cute mountain towns, we really just wanted to sit and enjoy our time. Had everything we needed. Would definitely stay again!

Wonderful, comfortable, well equipped and a great easy to use gas fireplace. We wanted a relaxing getaway time to relax and get rested after practicing for months to sing for Christmas programs. Our host was so responsive when I had questions and I appreciate that. The main word is PERFECT for the cabin and whole experience.

Our stay was incredible! Everything was clean and comfortable. The first thing we did when we got in was to play some of the board games available and sit at the fire table on the patio. We ordered in from a local BBQ place (Haywood's) and that was delicious. Thank you to hosts for providing such a great cabin, we definitely will be back!

The host was very nice and explained the check-in/out procedures and responded in a timely manner. (I should have written the instructions down because I didn't have cell service there and couldn't access my account, but I could on another member of our parties phone.) Everything was clean and the house had everything you needed. Very comfortable living room and the beds were comfortable. Loved the location.
