Secluded gateaway

What an amazing place to spend time with the family and friends away from technologies and reconnect with nature. The moment we arrived the kids were gone exploring the near by area, the creek and the trail were a bit difficult to get to but the kid had no issues. The house was cleaned, with enough towels and with plenty of kitchen must have! the beds were very comfortable. We loved finishing the day around the fire pit and cook some smore, make sure to bring fire starter!!! As I read before in other reviews, the driveway in front of the cabin is pretty steep but we backed in all the time and had no issues getting out of it! We loved to be away from the crowd and this cabin checked every box, make sure to get from the local grocery everything you need before heading home as it is pretty far away from the town. Overall I would love to go back, we had a wonderful time!

Perfect Mountain House!

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at this home. Everything was perfect! Well equipped, plenty of room, and great deck and yard! The creek and trail in the back was a nice bonus. Very cozy with enough room for everyone to spread out. Will definitely be back! Thank you for allowing our family to stay at your home.

Overall beautiful, clean spacious cabin and rental process

Had a great snowy weekend in this cabin! Everything inside was clean and spacious, very new and mountain vibes. Beds were very comfortable, even the twin beds. Hot tub was very well maintained, and perfect location under the upper deck for some protection from the elements without sacrificing the view. We arrived just ahead of a small snowstorm, and ended up being snowed in The driveway is very steep, and while the top was plowed down to the gravel, the bottom was not well plowed. I briefly got stuck with my AWD SUV with agressive tired, so we decided to park both cars at the top of the driveway. With the additional snow we got over the weekend, pretty sure chains would be required to get out from the bottom of the driveway near the house, or like we ended up doing, parking at the top and walking down to the house (short steep walk). Just FYI. Also, this cabin is about 30 mins from Beech Mtn, 12 miles, not the 2.6 listed in the description. Again, FYI. Overall, would definitely stay here again!
