Loved the whole stay! Beautiful cabin, location and view is perfect. Hot tub is amazing in the evening with a glass of wine. Super comfortable, clean and beautifully kept. Amazing for a birthday weekend get away!

I’m so glad you all had a great time! You are welcome back anytime!
Our family really enjoyed our stay at the cabin. It was very clean, stocked above expectations and comfortable. The previous renters left a bad smell in the cabin that DJ promptly came out to investigate and help remediate as best she could. We would love to stay here again. Just a warning that the road up the mountain is best to navigate in daylight your first time there.
Family getaway. All adults.
Plenary of room for us. Cabin was very clean and stocked with what we needed. The hot tub was so relaxing. The cabin was excellent. Close to town if need to go.
Will book again!
Wonderful cabin with priceless view of sunset hues coloring the mountain lines. Hours can go by sitting on the porch and immerse in the nature. We had a blast playing table tennis too! Thank you for the great experience.

You are so welcome! I’m glad you enjoyed your time at the cabin. Thank you for being such great guests!
Everything for our stay was perfect! Everything was clean and ready for us when we got there and we were able to get a little bit later checkout which was amazing!
The beds are comfy and the cabin is very cozy!
The stairs are not something i would suggest for the elderly, but you can walk around and down stairs outside if the stairs are a concern to you.
The kitchen was mostly fully stocked!
I highly recommend staying here, it is very close to all the fun things in blue ridge and is a GREAT value. We loved our stay!
I would highly recommend this cabin to anyone who wants to get away for a private, quiet and relaxing weekend; couple or family. The cabin was exceptional. The inside was spotless and it has all the amenities you would like. Our stay was short but we will definitely enjoy every moment and we will be definitely going back. The people in the Town are very friendly and the food is impactable. I recommend trying Southern Charm Café they have the best brunch ever.

I’m so glad you enjoyed yourselves and thank you for being great guests! You are welcome back anytime! And Southern Charm is one of my faves:)
Property same as in the pictures. Well mantained. Beautiful views of the mountains
Drive way needs more gravel.
Wifi/internet not available all the time.
We enjoyed it and would stay there again.
Host responded to inquiries quickly.
The PERFECT PLACE for a getaway! I went with my fiancé and our 2 best friends for our birthdays and it was amazing!!! I love how you can relax in the hot tub and then go straight into the game room to have fun! It was very clean, and the host was amazing! I highly recommend this spot for a fun, relaxing, getaway. Will definitely be back! :)
We enjoyed our stay at Mel’s cabin. It was very cozy even though we had a couple issues with the heat the gas logs kept us warm. The cabin was well stocked and had a beautiful view. Our boys especially enjoyed the ping pong table and hot tub. Would advise caution when you get the cabin as getting up the mountain and pulling into and out of the driveway when you leave can be a bit tricky. Would overall recommend!
The cabin was great!! Nice and peaceful! The downstairs bed was comfortable the hot tub was already heated and ready for us when we arrived! The only tip I’d give is to back into the driveway if you are able to it makes getting out a lot easier!! 10/10 do again!!!
Cabin was nice. It lacked some convenient amenities, such as a dishwasher & Keurig, but overall, it was just as shown in the profile. Parking is limited and the driveway is difficult to get out of.
