I’ve been to the property before and it didn’t disappoint on this return trip!This property is extremely well managed. There was an issue with the AC but upon arrival the manager informed me that service was on the way. The repair was handled within an hour of our arrival. Thanks so much for a second wonderful visit!

Family get-away

What a great stay we had! We were looking for Covid privacy and distancing and that's what we got! It was great! The cabin was clean, functional for our needs, and relaxing with the comforts of home. We really enjoyed the close hiking at Hanging Rock and cooking in, playing games and relaxing. Thanks for sharing your lovely space with us!

Retirement Celebration Trip

Poor weather prevented us from enjoying the deck and fire pit, but we thoroughly enjoyed cocooning in the cabin. Only problem was lighting the gas fireplace. Recommend that the hostess light the pilot, so all that is left is turning the fire on.

Family time

We stayed here to be close to my family. It was quiet and safe. We were a bit disappointed that the surrounding property wasn’t necessarily a great place for our kids to run around and explore, but they did eventually make a path into the woods close by. The cabin itself was well-stocked with cooking utensils, very clean and a great place to stay! Our family fit comfortably and it was very child friendly. We enjoyed our stay. Would recommend!

Relaxing weekend with Family

Our trip to Danbury, North Carolina, to visit Hanging Rock State Park, was wonderful. The house is beautiful ... just as advertised in the VRBO listing. The house is comfortable -- large living room, well-stocked kitchen, huge primary bedroom, large deck overlooking the mountains, and a very private setting (with only one other house in the neighborhood ... however, it was right across the street from the VRBO house). The town of Danbury is very small, however there was a nice little coffee shop, and a few local restaurants. The house is only a few minutes drive to the entrance to Hanging Rock State Park. The house is also close to multiple companies that rent tubes to drift down the Dan River.All-in-all, my family had a wonderful three night stay in the house. I would recommend this house for a quiet relaxing stay.

About the host

Hosted by Tom and Mercedes Martinez

Host profile image
Hi there, my name is Tom, and along with my wife Mercedes, we're excited to welcome you to our family cabin. We truly love the Triad area, especially the charming town of Danbury, which has embraced us as our own family and where we have built our second home. When we first came to Danbury, we fell in love with its natural surroundings, its friendly folks, and the overwhelming feeling of community and wholesomeness reminiscent of a bygone era.

Why they chose this property

We bought this property because we fell in love with the area, its unspoiled beauty, and its proximity to the Hanging Rock State Park, the Dan River, and Pilot Mountain State Park.

What makes this property unique

The cabin sits nestled within a 43-acre private wooded area. On the property itself, you will enjoy making home-cooked meals, toasting s'mores in the fire pit, watching the star-studded nights, and waking to dew-kissed mornings. Hiking the property through its own trails, creeks, and crossing over to the Dan River is a calming and healthy exercise.
