We loved this cozy cabin and it was perfectly located between Brevard and Cashiers; and it was close to many beautiful hikes! The cabin was well stocked and even had fire wood ready to go in the fire pit. The bedding was clean and comfortable. I slept very well and enjoyed the surrounding beauty! The hosts were wonderful and very responsive. I would definitely recommend!

The property was very clean and cozy, perfect for a weekend getaway. Although small, it was more than adequate and had all the amenities you could need. The area was close to many food venues and not hard to reach at all. Would definitely return!

Great place! Secluded enough that you are able to enjoy nature but just a quick drive to downtown. Love all the personal touches that made it easy to feel right at home. The host is also super responsive and had the lights on for us since we were arriving after dark.

Cozy spot for a short stay

The cabin was cozy and well stocked with basic necessities. Communication with owner is 5 star. Information with how to get to the cabin and access the cabin were provided in details. The guide book in the cabin was very helpful. We had an amazing time exploring beautiful places and having a cozy cabin to go back to after a long day of hiking and exploring. Very thankful to the host for sharing their home.

Great cabin!

This was a great location. The cabin was conveniently located to many areas for exploring but secluded enough to allow you to wind down at the end of the day. No problems at all and would highly recommend it.

Clean, Updated Cabin

Stayed for the weekend to enjoy some time with our daughter going to college nearby. It is a small cabin, but the living areas felt roomy and the amenities were modern and updated. The bedrooms were just the right size and the beds were comfortable.

Daughter moving nightmare

My daughter moved to Balsam Grove and the move was a total shit show. We wound up staying for 15 days instead of 7 and they were very accommodating for sure.

Thank you, Debbie! We are so glad we were able to provide accommodations while you helped with your daughter's move, though we hated to hear that she encountered so many roadblocks with the process. Thank you for being a wonderful extended guest!
