We really enjoyed staying here. The property was so clean and the owners were very kind. We could take the kids down to a little beach to splash around or let them burn off energy playing outside. We really enjoyed our stay.

Perfect getaway for 2.

Perfect getaway for a couple. I think it’s perfect for 4 people but any more it would be tight. Loved having the golf cart to get down to the water to sit on the dock.

Just what we needed!

We had a very relaxing weekend, exactly what we needed! The property was so nice from the BEAUTIFULLY decorated cabin to the groomed yard(s) and all the amenities to enjoy indoor and outdoor. We enjoyed the sunsets and sunrises immensely! Doug and Kim were so hospitable!

Great Little Hideaway

Enjoyed our stay in the cabin. Douglas & Kim were great. They offer such a nice little piece of peacefulness. We enjoyed the dock at the river, the fire pit was a hit with our teenage son - s’mores every night. And the bathroom is just gorgeous. Everything we needed for the week. And close enough that we travelled to Nags Head to enjoy the beach as well. Thanks for letting us use your cabin.

Charming little cabin

Mountain vibes in eastern NC. This cabin was immaculately decorated and clean. It was quite small, but the outdoor areas were so beautiful, we preferred to be outside anyhow. The beach access was just a short walk, but the golf cart was a nice convenience. Pontoon boat, bait, kayak, fishing pier, firepit with firewood provided, hammock, porch swings, basketball goal all available. We enjoyed the neighbors, they were really nice and welcoming. We enjoyed nightly visits from the neighborhood dogs and cats, all were very friendly and just wanted pets. Will recommend!

The cabin is much better than pics. Its not right on water. But behind a house thats right on water. Place is really cool, and felt safe, and even tho you are behind someone's house, it still seemed very private! The host let us extend our check out time, and answered to all questions appropriately. We had such a great time! Did not want to leave!

Little cabin on the mountainside

We couldn't have asked for a better place to spend the weekend! Everything was exactly as Doug and Kim advertised, and then some. We enjoyed being able to grill out and cook our own food in the well equipped kitchen. We loved using the fire pit and being able to relax in a beautiful surrounding. Everything was super clean and comfortable. Being able to take a few tours on the golf course was so fun as well! The views at the beach are something to be seen. I just can't say enough about this place and the owners! If you have a chance to stay at the cabin, we highly recommend it! (Please don't book it so much that we can't get back there!)

Perfect Getaway

My husband and I were just looking to get away, not too far from home but far enough with no kids and no worries. We found this gem just on a whim. When I tell you it was perfect I mean it was perfect. It had everything we could ask for. We were in heaven the entire time. There wasn't a single thing we would have changed. I was so impressed by everything, not a single spec of dirt on the floor, and I'm the type to notice everything but the only thing I noticed was this was going to be a place that we are visiting every single year because we had such a great time. There was plenty to do, places nearby to eat and to get things that we needed. I enjoyed the hammock here more than I did in Puerto Rico if that says anything. Loved the golf cart. Next time I'm bringing my crabbing gear so we can go crabbing. Loved it! We told all of our friends but refused to tell them exactly where, we don't want this place getting snatched out from under us but if they find it on here I guess we can't stop them lol.

Wonderfully built cabin

My family and I were in search of a property that would allow us privacy and the feeling of a cabin in the woods. We were delighted with the build quality of the cabin and the responsiveness of the property managers. The explanations and details given in the listing matched our expectations when we arrived. We visited the town of Edenton exploring a rich history of early America.

Cute but not easily accessible for older travelers

Lots of steps and stairs. Bedroom is a steep stairway and would be challenging to get to the bathroom on the first floor during the night. We are in our 70's and reasonable fit. Owner was very kind and informed us that the sofa is a queen sleeper but we had already returned home. He even offered to extend our time. Water is also about a block away. Otherwise, cozy and quaint!

Great Small Cabin

Great cabin, everything was clean and orderly. We did have a hard time finding it, as there were no address numbers on the cabin. That’s the only reason for 4 stars on the check-in process. Other than that, it was great. Thank you!

Lovely log cabin near Edenton

We were visiting our kids and were lucky enough to stay here at this gorgeous log cabin. Everything was clean and felt new and fresh. There is a golf cart and pier to enjoy but the cabin was the best. Host responded quickly when we texted. Morning coffee on the back porch was our favorite. If you're in the area, check out this log cabin.

Nice getaway

Spent a weekend at the cabin for a last minute get out of town trip. Cabin was very clean, comfortable beds, and kitchen had all we needed for a short stay. Nice quiet location, short walk or golf cart ride to the river. Kids really enjoyed poking around the wooded areas and the water.

Beautiful property, fun weekend.

Beautiful property, cozy little cabin. Perfect for a little weekend away. There was a little snafu that happened when we got there and the hosts handled it immediately. They really care about their guests and we had a great time. I only mention this because often the quality of service is best judged when there is a mishap. We got A+ service and resolution.

About the host

Hosted by Douglas and Kimberly Liverman

Host profile image
My name is Doug Liverman. I live in Ahoskie NC. Ahoskie is about 25 minutes away from the cabin. The cabin was built basically to have more room when we (Kim and I ) would have all the family down for holiday weekends. It started out as just a square box shape and turned into what it is today. It is about 800 square feet sitting on a hillside just off the Chowan River in Bertie County N.C. It is pattern after a one hundred year old cabin that Kim, my girlfriend, found in a Sportsman magazine at a dentist office. Kim got me phone numbers and I called until I found the people who own the original one which is over a hunderd years old and much more rustic. We added a kitchen and a few other features to ours to make it what it is. A nice little cozy cabin on a hillside where it fits perfect over looking a pond in a quiet little area on the river. You can walk from the cabin to the pier on the river and never touch the ground.It is great for exercise if you are looking for that. As for myself I own a small business in Ahoskie and Kim is a nurse at the local hospital.There is a larger log home on the property which I try to spend as much time in as I possibly can. If you come and visit you will understand why.

Why they chose this property

Mainly for the view. When I was sixteen my buddy and I would go down to this place and hang out, at that time it belonged to his grandparents. I would watch him and a friend of ours jump off a cliff that used to be in front of the main house. The crazy things we will do when we are young . I never knew that someday I would actually have a house on the same lot. The view is beautiful and breathtaking especially on a moon lite night or an early morning sunrise.

What makes this property unique

The view and location is great and it is very quaint and peaceful. If you are looking for a quiet week or weekend it's worth the trip. You can see deer running around, you can feed the ducks in the nearby pond, watch the rabbits run by, or maybe if you are lucky you may see a bald eagle fly. There are nice restaurants in the area that you can visit by land or river. Just one problem if you go by river you will need a boat, so if you have one you might want to bring it unless you luck up and Kim and I are around and hungry. There is some shopping a few miles away, a movie theater, and some historical viewing if you like things like that. It is small town shopping no W-marts. The nearest one is about 25 minutes away.The cabin does have a deck on the back with a fire pit, gas grill, and a screened in porch. There is a front porch with old timer rockers and a small table for early morning coffee. It has a microwave, also a coffee maker for the coffee lovers.The bathroom has a walk in shower but no tub, in the kitchen there is an oven,stove, and fridge.Jets skies and fishing boats are not available but there will be a paddle boat,small john boat with trolling motor for someone who may want to fish. Canoe or kayak and fishing reels will be available for daily rental. If there is a special occasion please let us know we will be more than willing to help. Check in time is at 3:00 PM, check out is at 11:00 AM.
