Amazing Views

We arrived shortly before sunset and were awe inspired at the long range mountain views from this location. The home was very clean and well kept, but the views from the living room and outside deck were amazing and that is where we spent the majority of our stay. If you want a peaceful escape with exceptional mountain views, this is the place.

We absolutely LOVED our stay! The pictures showed hammocks on the porch which I was really looking forward to laying in but they were gone and hockey table was gone but that didn’t make us not enjoy the cabin. Definitely would come back! The views were stunning!

Family vacation 2023

The home was exactly what we expected. The view was absolutely breathtaking. Be prepared to drive 30-60 minutes for various activities and shopping which we knew and were fine with. Would highly recommend staying there for anyone looking to get away and not have close neighbors. Very quiet gated community.

Short but Sweet

This is one of the few cabins that allowed a 2 day stay. That is smart because that could fill in time the cabin would be empty. We appreciate that accommodation. I will have to say it was one of the most beautiful views we ever had. The deck was spectacular. The kitchen had everything and more to allow us to cook some great meals and had more than you could ask for. The bedrooms were really nice and the beds were super comfortable. This cabin was very clean and that's important as we have had some bad ones. We would definitely come back and rate this a 5+ star experience. We wanted to stay longer Thank you for our great memories as we brought our mothers with us and they had a great time....till the next visit

Fabulous, well appointed, clean , mountain home. View is as described! Great mornings and even better sunsets! Make sure you bring everything you need, supplies and groceries, because there's not much around that's convenient, and you won't want to waste your mountain time doing grocery runs. A wonderful vacation!

View was amazing. When we arrived everyone jumped out of the car saying it’s so beautiful! I’ve never seen so much excitement about any other vacation rental! Sunsets were so lovely and each night looked different. The cabin was extremely clean and comfortable. Each bedroom and bathroom is on its own floor so everyone had tons of privacy when they wanted it, but the common rooms were roomy and very comfortable.
Happiness!

Beautiful cabin with an incredible view

I picked this cabin for the views and it didn’t disappoint. We spent many hours on the decks talking and taking in the vistas and picturesque sunsets. We grilled several meals and truly enjoyed the quiet of nature. The cabin itself was very clean and well stocked. I appreciate having some of the basic supplies provided and enough cookware to cook our meals with ease. The pool table was a fun addition to our stay. It truly is a comfortable cabin in a peaceful quiet area. One note to be aware of is the twin beds are in an open loft. It worked out fine for us as my older children slept there who are generally the last to sleep anyway but I had thought they would have an actual bedroom. There is a nice bathroom in the loft which was good for them to have. I may have missed it in the description.

Didn't want to leave

Our boys play college football and we chose this location so we could enjoy the beauty the SC has to offer as well as be in close proximity to the college we were playing. The home was immaculate and so cozy! The views are everything you see in the pictures and more! The beds and the Livingroom furniture was comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed to be able to cook meals in and just enjoy or stay. Communication was fantastic and the owner did a great job to calm our fears of coming shortly after the hurricane and the stability of the area. When we decided last minute to use the fireplace on the deck they quickly dispatched the caretakers to bring us gas. This home is in our Top 5 of VRBO stays and we have very high standards!! Some of our group has already gone back for a second stay and we plan to return in the next year as well. Thank you!

Spring Trip

Can’t say enough about this cabin and how beautiful it was inside and out. The cabin was extremely clean and very well stocked. It was very quiet and peaceful. The pool table so much fun for the family. It does take sometime to get to different locations including restaurants, trails and falls, but understandable coming from the mountaintop. Would highly recommend this cabin.

Amazing View

The view was amazing. Very peaceful area. So quiet. Was just what our family needed. The listing was just as described. It was too warm for a fire but I did want to say that I feel like charging for the gas fireplace is excessive. I imagine there is a reason for it. But I think given the price of the cabin it should be included. That's not a complaint just an observation and it won't deter me from booking the cabin again.
