Cabin was great! Plenty of space. Great property and stream access. Property was also easy to access. No steep driveway or rough roads. I think a car would be fine year round. I was initially skeptical because of the lack of reviews, but it was a great place. We had 4 adults, 3 teens, and 2 kids. Could have slept several more comfortably. Kitchen was good size and had everything you need to cook/grill. **side note: Walmart in Blue Ridge does deliver to this location. We were able to place a delivery shortly before our arrival and have everything delivered so that we did not have to travel with it. I don’t think I could really complain about anything other than the fact I didn’t catch any fish. lol. But had a great time trying. I would 100% recommend this cabin.

4th of July family weekend

We were with three generations of family for the weekend. The place was just the right fit for three couples and some kids in terms of layout. It was a bit more run-down than photos show - but worked just fine for us for the weekend. We loved having the creek on the property and played in it a good bit. We were hoping to catch some fish, but didn’t see many in the stream to be caught. Also, the neighbors are close and they are also rentals, so it was a bit of a bummer to hear loud music and fireworks next door when we were hoping for quiet! But overall pleased with our stay and would recommend.
