We are always looking for ways to improve our cabin. In two weeks we are changing out the queen-size bed and mattress for a new firm beauty rest king. I think our guests will love that.

About the host

Hosted by Ena Fuste De Armas

Host profile image
We were both born in Cuba. Came to the US at a young age. Both grew up in Miami and met here in beautiful NC.
We live in the small bedroom community of Kernersville NC.

Why they chose this property

Since I can remember, I have longed to be by a river. I know that when I am near the feel and sound of a river, there is something so healing and calming that words cannot describe. So when the opportunity presented itself, we felt like this place was a God send. We cherish every moment we spend at the cabin and would one day retire here. This is truly a little piece of Heaven.

What makes this property unique

I love the front porch swing, and how it feels to just sit there. Every season bring with it a different feel. The river is spectacular with its ever changing flow. There are large mature trees overlooking the river on the mountain side. Sometimes the wind flows in such a way that you can hear nature talking to you. Wildlife is abundant. I love the decorations on the front porch.
