Hi Joe! Thank you for your review. Glad you enjoyed the views and the hiking and maybe you can visit in the winter and snuggle up to the outdoor fireplace! We had a new firewood storage box built. We call it the "Log Mahal!"

Beautiful and spacious home in NC mountains provided a quiet and picturesque location for my adult family members to meet and reunite. Plenty of comfortable seating around the fireplace in the living room while two large decks and outdoor seating offered wonderful views of the surrounding mountains and valley below.

This cabin is amazing and the view is jaw-dropping. The owner appears to have thought of everything. We were so happy at all the little touches like easily accessible ports for chargers, comfortable and clean throw blankets, and foaming hand soap in every bathroom. Lots of handy notes all around the cabin helped us every day.They also provided fantastic guides to local hikes and we did the private access hike to Carlton falls (a 30 minute DRIVE from the cabin but only a 45 minute hike from the cabin). The owner was very quick to respond to messages and gave great detailed responses. Note that Google Maps struggles a bit with getting to the cabin. Shortly after the GPS navigation stops there is a road that has a sign noting a private property trail. Turning up that road will lead to the road the cabin’s driveway is on. While there are some restaurants in Cashier’s, the road to and from the cabin is narrow and winding. With the kitchen so well-equipped, we preferred to stay in the cabin and cook for ourselves to minimize trips down the mountain. Getting to town is definitely doable, but I much prefer this cabin as a stay-in vacation.

Wilstone Lodge is truly a gem—offering a peaceful setting with some of the most spectacular views!The location is perfect for lots of outdoor activities, hiking adventures or simply spending the day at the house relaxing, playing a game, and then taking in the spectacular sunset from the deck. The house was clean, cozy and equipped with everything you could possibly need for your stay.Jamie is an excellent host and really has put so much thought into making your time at Wilstone as comfortable as possible. From the detailed email sent prior to our arrival, to the great welcome guide provided at the house, with helpful tips, hiking and restaurant suggestions and lots of info about the entire area. She has created a home away from home for her guests.We had a fantastic stay and highly recommend the Wilstone Lodge! We will definitely be back.

Amazing getaway

We have stayed in the area for several years straight. Overall this was the best house we have stayed in. Great views and trails close to the house and close to our favorite places slab town and the fix for when we are hungry and want to go out. However it could be a house we didn’t leave for a week to go out.
