Thank you so much for staying with us! I am glad you enjoyed your stay. I hope you'll stay with us again next year!
This was a great little place to stay while visiting several areas of the NC mountains. We visited Marion, Asheville, Lake James, Lake Lure, Chimney Rock, Linville Caverns and several other places while there. The beds were super comfortable and we enjoyed the lunar eclipse from the fire pit area on Thursday night. I will definitely keep this on my favorites list for anytime I need to visit this area again.
We thoroughly enjoyed staying here. The cabin was super clean and nicely decorated. The host was super responsive and goes above and beyond to make sure your stay is great.
The home is a beautiful, fun, and family friendly space. We enjoyed the outdoor spaces and made s’mores! This is overall a wonderful place to stay!! Thank you for the hospitality.

Thank you for your kind comments!! We would love to have you back anytime!
We had an excellent stay at Cecilia's! Home had everything we needed! From the comfortable bed, pool table, and super cute covered outside patio. Absolutely loved the outdoor seating area with the firepit! Would definitely recommend staying here for checking out Marion, Old Fort, Morganton and the surrounding areas!
Our son’s baseball tournament brought us to Marion and we couldn’t be happier with our time at the cozy cottage. From the pool table, to the darts, to the snack basket my kids were so happy. I appreciated decor, extra space and attention to detail. Definitely recommend!

I travel regularly and this rental is by far one of the best ones I have stayed in. Decorated so cute and cozy! Every detail has been thought of! Will definitely be renting again!
The house is updated and very cozy. Had everything we needed for our stay. Appreciated the basket full of snacks. The host was very accessible and was able to answer all my questions before our stay. Check-in was very simple. Hope we get a chance to stay here again in the future.
This the second time staying at Tristan’s house. Cecilia ensured that the house was perfect and makes the check in and out process easy. My wife was amazed by the decor which makes this home very inviting and cozy. This will be our go to home for sure whenever we are visiting the Marion area. Thank you Cecilia for the amazing stay!
