The cabin was clean and quiet, which is exactly what I needed. It did get really hot at night for some reason, though. However, they had roku tvs they had a pool table, they had board games, although I was alone, laundry in the yard. The floor entering into the kitchen should probably be inspected though. The location is on a narrowish winding mountain road. I watched quite a few cyclists braving the inclines and blind curves so I highly recommend going slow.

We went up for Thanksgiving and had a wonderful time at this charming cabin. We actually saw live turkeys on Thanksgiving day, which was a lot of fun and lots of deer. It was very peaceful and cozy.

Mike was amazing with all the details and communication prior to and during our vacation! The location was perfect to ski resorts and hiking. Views very pretty, well appointed with all we needed for a great stay, and our teens enjoyed the bonus pool table and BT speakers in basement. :) Would stay again.

Perfect mountain getaway

We spent three nights in this comfy, cozy cabin. We had everything we needed! The snow is what we were after, so the beautiful views and surrounding neighborhood provided even more than we hoped for on the easy drive up and down the mountain.

Cozy Cabin

We had a lovely stay at the cabin. It is a great location and close to everything. We enjoyed the alpine coaster and hiking and driving around all the cool mountain cities. Beds were comfortable, kitchen had everything we needed and I appreciate all the smart TV's. The downstairs was great for a game of pool. Thank you for a great weekend gettaway!

Great location and pet friendly!

This home is in an ideal location, convenient to Banner Elk, Newland, Sugar Mountain and much more. We enjoyed several hikes and when it rained we napped on the comfy couches with our dogs nearby. One plus for us was the gas grill. Thanks so much for the hospitality. We hope to return!

Amazing Cabin Getaway

We had a blast here for a labor day weekend getaway. The cabin is well taken care of and very clean. The check in process was super easy. My family and I enjoyed the peacefulness of the property and the close proximity to Banner Elk. The pool table was a lot of fun and my son really enjoyed that. The cabin offer plenty of space for us and the ability to be able to bring our dogs was a huge plus. We would absolutely stay here again!

Nice place

Nice house, quiet area. Owner was very responsive to questions and easy to communicate with. The only thing i would suggest is doing something with the driveway, it is a little tricky parking and getting out especially in a larger vehicle

2nd time staying & would stay again

Comfortably met needs both times; Used kitchen more 2nd time and had what we needed! Minor recommendations to freshen bakingware & replace the blind downstairs twin-beds in one bedroom would offer more flexibility bike sleeping arrangements for siblings or non family guests

Perfect spot for quick get-a-way

This is fantastic place to stay for a family and spend some quality time together. Nicely located just outside of town, close to many attractions and restaurants. Kitchen items were sufficient and clean, bedrooms and linen were clean. Game room offers pool table, which kept our kid engaged, when we were not outside. The host is super responsive to all the questions. I will highly recommend this property and will definitely visit again.
