I am very pleased with our stay! All the instructions were straight forward and easy to follow. The cabin itself was so cozy and the view was beautiful! Note to others who stay: take the scenic route on the way out in! It was amazing!

Thank you so much for the review David! We are glad that you enjoyed your time at the cabin. We hope you return again soon!
We had a great time at the cabin, we were too busy to get into the hot tub sadly. The steps to the basement level were too steep for 70 plus ladies to go down but found the upstairs to be adequate. Loved love, love sitting on the back porch, enjoying the view.

Glad to hear that you had a great time! Thank you for the review!
Cabin was tidy and clean. We cooked every breakfast and dinner and found the supplies in the kitchen to be sufficient to be able to do so. We were pleased there was a regular coffee maker, as we prefer that over a Kureg - which was also available. We brought firewood from home to build a fire and roast marshmallows one night. Host checked on us one day to ask if we needed anything. We were thrilled that the majority of the approach to the cabin was a 2-lane road. Overall great experience. We would definitely consider staying here again.

Glad to hear you utilized the fully stocked kitchen! Thank you for the wonderful review!
The cabin was nice and very clean. It had all the amenities that we needed. We enjoyed using the hot tub to relax our muscles after a long day of hiking several beautiful trails in the area and we had ping pong tournaments with the kids at night. It was very relaxing to sit out on the back porch and just listen to nature while watching the beautiful view of the mountains. I would highly recommend this cabin to anyone wanting to stay in the Blue Ridge area.

We went up for Valentines weekend. House was very clean and had an amazing view off the deck. The weather was not good but we had a wonderful time because the house felt like we were at home and very comfortable. Definitely recommend this place when staying in Blue Ridge.

We are glad that you enjoyed the cabin with your family! Thank you for the wonderful review!
We visit the N Ga mountains frequently and have stayed in many cabins. This one, by far, was one of the best! The view from the back porch was breath taking. The hot tub is very roomy and nice and clean. We hiked a couple times and in the rainy times, we enjoyed playing scrabble and just sitting on the porch swing. Our favorite evening routine was the fire and s’mores. Book the stay! You won’t regret!

I'm glad you both enjoyed the cabin! I agree with you about the view, the hot tub and the fire pit! Thank you for the wonderful review!
Overall excellent rental experience for a short getaway with wife. Very clean and organized place. Loved the hot tub on the deck looking at the mountains. Spent most of our time out of the cabin, but it was very comfortable to come back to.
