Highly recommend and will definitely be back!

Nice, newer property

This place was perfect for us, just a few miles from my cousins place tucked back in the woods but very close to town and the Parkway. Beds were firm but comfy.Kitchen was very nicely appointed with dinnerware, cookware, etc.. We’ll definitely stay here again next year.

Incredible Property

This cabin and location was perfect for our brief visit. The cabin appears to be brand new and all aspects of this stay were outstanding. After a long day of hiking, we decided to cook at home. The kitchen is very well equipped and everything was easy to locate. The entire cabin was spotless and there were very easy and clear checkout instructions. While this was a very brief trip(less than 24 hours) I would not hesitate to revisit for future stays.

Forest Chalet

We stayed June 24 - July 2. This chalet is newly built with every amenity. Check in and check out was easy. The location is private and hidden in a forest near the Blue Ridge Parkway. We learned not to rely on Google GPS since it was inaccurate. Beautiful views!

Wonderful Cabin in the Woods

Tucked away in the woods, this cabin has just what you need for some rest and relaxation. Conveniently located between Spruce Pine and Little Switzerland, visitors will have many options for exploration and food. The cabin is well built with high quality furnishings throughout. My family and I first stayed in this cabin in May of '23. We had such a great experience that we opted to stay here again in '24. If you're looking for a well maintained cabin with modern finishes in the mountains of NC, I highly recommend staying at this one.

Clean cabin getaway

Clean, quaint, and close to downtown Spruce Pine, this cabin proved to be exactly as billed. The hosts are responsive and understanding. All of the amenities from shampoo to kids utensils are available in this cabin (good quality items, no less). If you’re looking for a relaxing getaway in the mountains this is a good fit. My family (wife and three kids - five years old and under) had a great experience and would stay here again in the future.

Beautiful Home

Stayed the weekend to ride the local mountain roads. Home is in a quite location, well appointed and exceptionally clean. Communication with the owner was excellent, beds were comfortable, kitchen had everything we needed and relaxing by the fire pit in the evening was perfect (Owners even provided the firewood). For those on motorcycles, respect the speed limit on the way to/from the main road (2.5 mi), as you're passing through a residential neighborhood. The driveway is gravel, but is totally doable on a bike, just need to be cautious. Remember to bring your streaming passwords for the TVs and something for your kickstand to rest on.

This cabin was the perfect getaway! We had planned to see a lot of tourist activities while there, but we actually dedicated quite a bit of time towards just enjoying the cabin itself because it was so peaceful and comfortable! The place was so well stocked with anything you might have forgotten, along with plenty of toilet paper, blankets, and towels. You can tell that the hosts are very considerate! It was also EXTREMELY clean!!! We were about an hour or less from tons of things to do! Emerald Village, the Orchard at Alta Pass, Tom Creek Falls, Grandfather Mountain/Mile High Swinging Bridge, Mystery Hill, and Linville Caverns! Also only 10 min from Walmart! We loved how gorgeous the cabin and its surroundings were! Even a Pizza Hut delivery driver who brought our pizzas one night was in awe of how beautiful the home was! We spent multiple nights enjoying the fire pit, roasting marshmallows. We also utilized the charcoal grill to grill up some steaks! Also, I forgot my glasses at the cabin and the host let me know right away and is working to get them back to me. I'm so thankful, they truly care about their guests! I've stayed in other rentals where the hosts did not care and the rental was bare, no extras of anything. THIS cabin was the TOTAL opposite!!! Caring hosts, beautiful scenery, gorgeous & comfortable cabin, plenty of nearby tourist attractions- what more could you ask for? Definitely pick this cabin for your rental! You won't regret it!

Great

This cabin is VERY nice. Nicer than pictures. It’s super comfortable, nicely furnished, quiet and pretty peaceful (couple of times there was someone with a dirt bike down the road making some noise but not a huge deal). The owners have the kitchen super well stocked, the firepit is great with lots of wood and plenty of places to sit and enjoy the mountain air. Water pressure and showers are excellent and beds are comfortable. We would definitely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Will and Shamon Gharst

Host profile image
We're a family of 4 with two small children. We love to get outside and explore all our state of NC has to offer. We love the NC coast, but we especially love Western North Carolina and enjoying all of the Hiking, restaurants, and creativity it has to offer.

Why they chose this property

Almost every weekend in the Fall and Spring, our family takes a hike through the woods.
It's not always a long hike with having young kids, but it gives us a moment to reset, and lets our kids explore. From this, we decided to find a house in the mountains to give us more time to enjoy the views and have a place to bring the extended family.

The views of the mountains while driving up, the proximity to hiking and the Blue Ridge Parkway, as well as the quiet that surrounds the house, made us fall in love instantly.

What makes this property unique

You will be amazed just how quiet it can be sitting in the back of the house. Hearing a mountain stream in the background, it's a great place to reset from the normal day to day.
