Perfect little rustic cabin feels large inside with an amazing wood stove and toasty loft for sleeping. We made the small fridge and hotplate work for the two of us. Cabin is on the road to other buildings at the resort but was very private for our time there. Happily extended our stay an extra day. Would certainly rent again!

Perfect stay! The cabin was really cozy, clean, and looked just like the pictures. The upstairs loft was actually bigger than I am imagined. I really appreciated that the fireplace was all set-up for me ahead of check-in. All I had to do was light it!

Just as We Hoped

Great, cozy little cabin that is legitimately in the woods yet only 15 minutes from shopping and excellent food in Black Mountain. Cabin was perfect for the two of us (and dog). If we ever go back to Black Mountain or Asheville, we will definitely stay here again if it is available.

This was our second visit to the cabin. A little less peaceful than our first visit, with a father-son weekend happening at the camp next door. All to be expected in a early fall visit to the mountains. We still found plenty of serenity while enjoying our coffee on the porch each morning. It was cool enough to have a fire in the evening. All in all, another great visit. We'll be back again for sure.

Everything you could want and more!

This little cabin was perfect. The hosts thought of everything. The fireplace was fully stocked with wood when we got there. There is a mini fridge/freezer, 2 countertop burners, coffee maker, microwave, toaster oven, crockpot and more. We really enjoyed our stay.

It was absolutely freezing cold which I can’t blame the landlord for. However the cabin was cold. Better directions on p-tak unit would be great. The front door won’t stay shut unless it’s locked. Front door needs some serious weather stripping or adjustments. There was plenty of firewood and the stove kept us warm. Bed in loft is wonderful! The futon could probably use a new mattress. Otherwise, it was quiet and cozy

Thank you for staying with us and for your feedback. It certainly was a chilly weekend for your stay with record low temps! We wish we had known you were having some trouble with the heat settings as the cabin does have a fairly new heat pump system with baseboard heaters as well for extra comfort. We will take a look at the other items you mentioned as well as guest comfort is very important to us.

Perfect ! We loved the seclusion and privacy.

The cabin was so unique. 200 year old appearance with all the modern day amenities. No cell phone service or WiFi but proved to be just what we needed. Would recommend for any couple looking for a romantic getaway.

So glad you enjoyed your stay we hope you will visit us again soon. It is true that certain phone services do not reach our property in the mountains well, specifically AT&T. Verizon tends to work best and is what we use daily as we also live on the same family property. We do have wifi available for guests at the shared office space just a few yards away as well as an emergency guest phone for 24 hour use.

Cabin Fever

Cabin fever was never a problem even though it was winter time in Black Mountain. We enjoyed shopping on a rainy day and enjoyed hiking around the cabin and ponds on the sunny days. We enjoyed some local restaurants and spending time by the wood stove.

Great Cabin

We had a wonderful stay in the cabin. Probably because it was off-season and holiday weekend, it felt like we were the only ones there. The wood burning stove was preset to start a fire and everything we needed was in the kitchenette. We arrived late and missed the entrance, but the owners graciously met us and led us to the correct spot. Highly recommended!!

We did find your handwritten note after your stay letting us know about the fridge. So sorry that is wasn’t working properly and we just wish you had let us know during your stay so we could have resolved the problem. We did immediately replace the unit once we became aware of the problem.
