So glad you came back, Kasi, and that the porch and fireplace made your evenings special again! Your ★★★★★ means a lot to us. We hope to see you for a third stay!
Mahjong in the Mountains! What a wonderful visit to the mountains! The cabin as just as described. We took advantage of the movie room and hot tub but the real star was the porch and view! We even saw faint northern lights on our first night! Food, fun and fellowship in the cool air mixed well with competitive mahjong! A quick trip to Mercier Orchard for baked goods, wine slushies, and fruit - completed our trip.The cabin had all we needed for a wonderful stay. The host was very quick to respond to any questions we had and also checked in mid-trip. We walked right on and had no issues at all!Highly recommend this cabin!Thanks for the memories!

The cabin is very updated in most things and boasts a great open floor plan. The big wrap-around covered deck was lovely and there were fireplaces galore! We also enjoyed the fire pit. We booked this home to have a relaxing, stay in and watch college football weekend and this place delivered!

We absolutely loved this property. We enjoyed all the amenities; hot tub, electronic game table, and pool table great for date night. It was a great location to downtown blue ridge where we did the scenic railway ride and then the casino where we went to Gordan Ramsay restaurant. We enjoyed our time at this property nice quiet and clean with spacious rooms closets and showers.

I appreciate the ★★★★★ review! We're thrilled you enjoyed the amenities and had a memorable getaway from game nights to exploring downtown Blue Ridge. We’ll see you again soon!
We really enjoyed our stay! The house was clean, well-equipped, and comfortable, with plenty of space for everyone to relax. The teenagers especially loved the game room, which was a big hit. The host was excellent—quick to respond, helpful, and very accommodating. The location was convenient for exploring the area, though it’s worth noting that the home sits within a small neighborhood rather than a mountain setting, so it feels more residential than rustic. Overall, a great stay with an attentive host and a clean, functional home.

This house was absolutely perfect in every way! Having 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms was a must and each of these rooms was cozy, clean and fully appointed. The kitchen was stocked with all that our group needed for 5 days of food preparation and serving. The host communicated clearly about all aspects of the processes from signing up, paying, and checking in, to the exiting requirements. There were plenty of activities in the nearby areas, all within short drives. We highly recommend this home and location!

We went for a family vacation and the cabin was ideal. There was plenty of room and a great place to stay. The kitchen had everything we needed. It was easy to get to but also was private. It was easy to check-in and good communication with the owners. Will stay again.

We had four generations of girls staying at this rental and we couldn’t have had a better time. Everything from the amenities, cleanliness, views and unlimited amount of fun activities made our trip exceptional. We enjoyed a walk in the neighborhood, the fire pit, cornhole on the porch and many games of cards! The host of the property was extremely attentive. We will definitely stay here again!!
