Our private driveway can accommodate at least 6 standard size vehicles. The community offers many hiking and ATV trails, as well as a small fishing pond.

The Cabin is positioned Mountain side, among the trees, with beautiful scenic views from the covered deck. We highly recommend picking up or bringing any food/essentials that you will need for (at least) the first night with you, as it is a bit of a drive to get to a large grocery store or restaurant. The closest store for essentials is Dollar General (8.4 miles away, about 16 minutes), the closest gas station is Wyke's Food Mart (9.9 miles away, about 17 minutes), the closest restaurant is Fast Lane (12 miles away, about 19 minutes), and the closest grocery stores are Lowes Food (15 miles away, about 23 minutes) or Food Lion (16 miles away, about 24 minutes). The cabin is located on top of a mountain so the road is steep. It's paved almost the entire way to the cabin (last 1/4 mile is relatively flat and gravel) and is well maintained year round. AWD is recommended for winter months. The downstairs has driveway access but the rest of the cabin will require the use of stairs. The loft bedroom has a narrow spiral staircase. Cell phone reception on the mountain is sporadic. However, major cell phone provider service is great at the cabin. No smoking Bear in mind that the entire area experiences seasonal bug activity (especially the summer). Despite our regular pest control service, you may encounter moths, stink bugs, ladybugs, etc.
