Cabin with a view

The host was great to work with. She gave us many ideas of places to visit and they were all great. The cabin was beautiful and was perfect for what we were looking for- a quiet getaway. The kitchen was well equipped and the porches front and back had spectacular views. We would love to return at another time!

Sunrises and Sunsets

We enjoyed our stay and the views were beautiful. Sitting on the wrap around porch allowed for amazing sunrises and sunsets The unit has everything for you and even some things you would not have thought of. This is a place to escape to and get away from the hustle and bustle and spend quality time with your family or even on your own.

Anniversary Trip

My husband and I made a quick get-a-way to the mountains for the weekend to celebrate our 20th anniversary. The cabin/house was amazing. We had everything we needed there. The views are even better than the pictures. We sat on the porch both nights and watched the sunset together. Everything about this place is 5 stars including the host.

Excellent Cabin

Excellent cabin with outstanding views. The cabin was attractively decorated, very comfortably furnished and impeccably clean. The kitchen contained anything you could need. The cabin felt like someone’s home rather than a rental. The wrap around deck provided miles of mountain vistas with sunrise and sunsets. The owner was immediately responsive, friendly and helpful.

Great views, quiet and relaxing....

with multiple outdoor seating options from front porch or back porch! And thank goodness for 2 ceiling fans on each of the porches for the July heat. We enjoyed exploring Buck Mountains and hikes and the waterfalls in this private community! We went out every other day - One Day to Grandfather Mountain one day Mount Jefferson. We were quite comfortable in this cabin for our little getaway!

Simply wonderful

This was the first vacation my family and I took since my mom passed two years ago and it was absolutely wonderful. The cabin was pristinely clean, warm and welcoming. We felt very at home and great communication with the owner. She is lovely and the views are spectacular. We loved the privacy and quietness of the beautiful cabin. Highly recommend a stay.

Spectacular mountain views

Fantastic family memories at this well-appointed, immaculate cabin with majestic views of God's country. The property owner is very accommodating and easy to communicate with. We stayed 2 nights and wished we had planned a longer stay because we enjoyed it so much. The cabin has a unique feature where you can take in the sunrise in the morning AND reflect on your relaxing day with a sunset view from the wrap-around porch, wine is optional.

Great mountain retreat!

We spent 2 weeks at this homey and comfortably mountain home! Our host Cathy provided everything we needed to make our stay the refreshing, cool-air reprieve we were looking for. We have come to the NC mountains for a number of years, and my son and his wife said this was the place they've liked the best. The views were o/standing. Our communications with Cathy made it clear that she wanted us to enjoy her place. I would recommend her cabin to anyone.
