This cabin was perfect for our annual Thanksgiving trip to North Carolina. The cabin was very cozy, clean, easy to get to and located in a very quiet area. We spent every night in front of the fireplace while watching tv or playing games. It also felt centrally located to all the major towns such as Boone and Blowing Rock. The management company was excellent and very quick to respond to any inquiries we had. They definitely make sure you have every piece of information you need before you arrive. We would definitely choose to stay in this cabin again.

Just as advertised

My family really enjoyed our stay. We loved the peaceful seclusion provided by this location, but still the close proximity to Boone and Blowing Rock for shopping and entertainment. We would very much consider returning to this cabin for future vacations.

Just what the doctor ordered

Perfect quiet getaway. Just far enough away from town to be perfect. When we were ready to see the sights just a short drive away. We took my parents for a getaway that has been very much needed.

It was a perfect woodsy feel cabin. A fully quipped cabin, including hiking back packs and extras.

We really enjoyed our stay! It’s a fully equipped cabin with all the extras- pack packs, skewers, soft blankets, good pillows. A perfect woodsy feel. But we bought our own laundry soap, and paper towels.

Excellent secluded cabin

Went for my wife’s 40th birthday weekend. Cabin size was perfect for us with 2 small children ages 10 and 6. Plenty of games to keep busy as well as a game system upstairs for them to stay up there to give mom and dad some separate time. Well stocked kitchen. Only complaint was the internet kept going out and had to restart router several times. Would not be such a big deal except that the cabin was so secluded, which we loved, except there was no cell signal for our phones and the only way to communicate was via Internet wifi due to the phone not working in the cabin. It was a minor inconvenience at best because we spent a lot of time towards Boone so no real worries. Would definitely recommend and would like to come back again.
