The cabin was more beautiful than anticipated. The owners went above & beyond for us and even provided sweet treats for my son’s birthday. Everything was thought of for us before we arrived and we were able to unplug and relax.

This little log cabin is lovely. It feels (and is!) historic but with all the modern updates and furnishings you expect. Dawn, the host, goes out of her way to give you a pleasant welcome and make it comfortable. Weaverville is a great home base to the Asheville and Blue Ridge Mtn areas.

We really enjoyed our stay at this cabin. What makes it unique and special is the perfect mix of rustic log cabin charm with modern amenities. The beds were very comfortable, the water pressure was excellent, and the host was available for anything we needed and extremely accommodating. It’s always a joy when a place exceeds your expectations. We will definitely be back.

I honestly can’t say enough good things about this little cabin! It was absolutely perfect for our girls’ trip. From the moment we walked in, we could tell how much thought and care had been put into the space. It was spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated, and so cozy and welcoming. Every little detail seemed to have been thought of.But what really made our stay stand out were the hosts. They were absolutely wonderful and went above and beyond anything I have experienced before when renting a place. They were so attentive to us and incredibly easy to communicate with. They gave us great suggestions for things to do in the area and places to eat, which was so helpful during our trip.When we arrived, they had even left goodies for us in the refrigerator! It was such a thoughtful and unexpected touch and made us feel welcomed from the minute we got there.You can truly tell that these hosts care about their guests and want them to have a wonderful experience. Between the beautiful, immaculate cabin and their incredible hospitality, I really can’t brag on this place enough.We had such a wonderful girls’ weekend and made some great memories here. I would recommend this cabin without hesitation, and if we are ever back in the area, we would absolutely stay here again!I would also like to mention there is an awesome story behind how this little gem came to be. Be sure to ask about it
