Best stay we’ve had!!!! They truly have everything you could need. It is absolutely beautiful. They have everything from coffee, extra batteries, tea candles, card games etc. But even if you need something, there’s plenty of gas stations and a dollar general close by. Everything was easy to use including the shower and space heater. My car was unable to make it up the gravel (AWD but bad tires..), but the walk up really isn’t bad and the host was helpful and quick to reply. Will definitely be coming back!

One of the best places we have ever chosen. Loved haveing so many comforts while feeling g so connected to the outdoors. We loved sleeping with the garage door opened and the outhouse was way easier to use than I thought it would be. We even showed outdoor in the rain. Unforgettable experience!

We had such a good time here. The place was clean and had all of the amenities that you could possibly need when glamping plus some. Instructions on how to use everything were incredibly clear. You can tell a lot of thought was put into everything that is provided. The property is beautiful and the location is perfect. Already planning our next visit! 10/10 would recommend!

This was one of the most incredible places my husband and I have ever stayed / visited! The property is absolutely gorgeous, exactly as pictured, and has everything you could possibly need for a perfect getaway. The views are breathtaking, and the host was beyond amazing…so welcoming, helpful, and wonderful!One important tip: PLEASE listen to the host when she says you need AWD to get up the driveway! If you don’t have the right vehicle, you can park in the guest spot at the bottom of the mountain and hike up…but be prepared, because it’s a STEEP climb! We had a blast, and it definitely added to the adventure, but it’s something you’ll want to plan for ahead of time.We truly cannot say enough good things about this place. Between the incredible views, beautiful property, and amazing host, it was an unforgettable experience. We’re so grateful we got to stay here and would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful, unique getaway!Thank you for such an amazing stay! We loved every minute of it!

Such a quaint glamping spot to relax and recharge! Close proximity to Biltmore Estate, our favorite brewery (Turgua Brewery), and grocery stores! What we loved most: peaceful setting tucked away in the woods, open air with screened bay door and screened windows, very comfy memory foam Zinus mattress, jackery to keep devices charged, wrap around porch, egg chairs for comfy lounging, and overall ambiance inside and out! Experienced our first outdoor shower and dry flush commode--pretty neat and did their jobs. Appreciate the thought put into all the extras. Plenty of water for drinking/washing, cooking basics for 2, and starter supplies. Loved that there is a dewalt battery-powered fan to help circulate air while sleeping. FYI: 2-3 (2lb) bags of ice fit in the large igloo cooler, depending on how much stuff you need to cool. Bring extra blankets, indoor lighting (lanterns/touch lights), and headlamps for night time trips to bathroom. It's pretty dark at night and hard to read/write without extra lighting. So glad we booked this place!

4/10 Poor

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
The cabin is cute and I can see how it would be great for someone who enjoys glamping. Unfortunately, it wasn’t for me. I take responsibility for not reading the full description carefully enough before booking, and the listing does disclose that it’s off-grid, has no AC/electricity/running water, and requires 4WD/AWD or a steep walk up.That said, the heat, limited battery-powered fan, and biting insects made it very uncomfortable, and I ended up leaving after one night of a three-night stay. I was also disappointed by the host’s response when I let her know I was leaving. I expected a little more effort to understand what went wrong or see if anything could be done to make the stay better.Cute property, but unfortunately a 2/10 experience for me. It may be a great fit for an experienced glamper, but it wasn’t the relaxing getaway I was looking for.

Thank you for leaving an honest review! My concern was you did not read our property description before booking our place with all of the messages I was receiving upon your arrival. However, any questions you had, I responded to immediately even though I had sent you all the pre-arrival instructions. When you reached out the morning after your first night stay letting me know you were checking out due to not having enough batteries for the fan and that our cabin was going to be more "work" than you wanted for your stay, I was a little taken back being that we leave a total of 4 backup batteries there and provide a ton of amenities for a off grid cabin experience. I understand the weather was a little warmer than usual for September but that does not warrant a 2 star review. Unfortunately we couldn't control the weather during your stay or I definitely would have. I also couldn't fix that you felt the cabin was more work than you were wanting for your vacation... So I had no idea how I could have talked you into staying when it seemed your mind was already made up. As you can see in other reviews for our cabin, we always try to provide a 5 star stay for our guests.

Incredible experience. We were a little bit confused about whether or not we found the right driveway upon arrival. We arrived after dark and trudged up the last one leg on foot. Steep but very cool The cabin is wonderfully secluded. As you step around the last bend you see the cabin. And then you notice little nooks located around the property... Two pod swings in one space, a cozy fire pit area, a hammock a little farther, and a little up the hill you'll see an amazing but slightly terrifying swing. There are cute solar lights all around the property but I'd suggest bringing some rechargeable long led lights. The toilet is very cool! Clean and not at all what I expected. Attached to the back of the outhouse is a super cute shower stall. The shower gets hot fast and the water pressure is perfect. Inside the cabin is one space but the hostess obviously put a lot of thought and care into this venture. There are so many details I wouldn't have thought to include... every time I needed something I looked around and it was there! And the bed is SO comfortable. We slept with the glass garage door up and the combination of warm coziness and crisp fresh air had me sleeping way past my normal sleep allotment. You won't regret staying here

Beautiful home, very pleasant! Felt more comfortable than we expected given the off grid aspect. Do note that if you don't have AWD, the hike up the hill to the house is quite steep and intense! However, was well worth it. Host was also very helpful and responsive! Would stay again.

This cabin is incredible! Being able to open it up and be immersed in nature while laying in bed was awesome. This was my first off-grid cabin experience and this cabin made it great and easy. The host was very communicative when I had questions which was very helpful. I highly, highly recommend!
