Perfect cabin escape !
Our family met here for Thanksgiving and it was an amazing place to unwind and re-connect. Especially loved the cozy fireplace, the well-stocked kitchen, and the pool table downstairs. Everything was like clockwork, and so thankful to our gracious hosts. Hope to come back some day - maybe when we can tube in that beautiful river.

About the host

Hosted by Dawn Worobel

Host profile image
We love the gorgeous mountain views and the escape from the heat and our hectic lifestyles. We enjoy going to the cabin to relax or to have fun with friends and family. Our kids love the gem mining, tubing, train rides, and whitewater rafting.

Why they chose this property

We chose this location because we kept coming to this area and fell in love with the natural setting, the ease of access to our property, and the proximity to lots of fun places in Western North Carolina. We also love to relax and watch the beautiful sunsets and the wildlife go by as we sit on the deck overlooking the mountains and our 4 acre property.

What makes this property unique

We have four bedrooms with lots of space for you and your family and friends to relax. We have a fully stocked kitchen with a gas grill and outside picnic table. We also have two wrap around decks, one with gates at the end to help contain pets when they want to enjoy the beautiful North Carolina weather. We have a pool table, corn hole board, ring toss, dvds, games, and many books for you to enjoy during your stay.
