spring wild flowers, cool breezes throughout the summer and a cozy

If you want to feel totally private and isolated just stay on the
large deck surrounded by the woods or in the great room with it's
lofted ceiling and wall of glass.
The cabin offers two bedrooms with full beds, a full bath, laundry,
and large great room with fireplace and fully equipped kitchen all
on the main floor. We also offer a landline with free long distance
as well as DirectTV on our 54in. Samsung Smart TV in the great room.

Home away from home

Another perfect stay... this place is perfect to unplug from electronics, feel cozy and enjoy the mnts.. we have rented this cabin at least 5 times now , that should speak volumes... the owners have become second family.. i wish i lived closer ,bc id truly just love to live close to this spot in the woods.. our puppers also love this house. The owners are fine us bringing 2 large trained dogs ,they are our people.. I've already rented another 10 day stay, and will have a few more throughout the yr.. only complaint i have , is I HATE TO LEAVE!!,

Quiet and secluded

We only needed a place to relax in the evenings and get a good night's rest after the days' activities, and this place delivered. I am a light sleeper that lives where everyone has 10's of acres and I felt at home here. There were only 2.5 of us, but this place can sleep 6 very comfortably. The 4th bed is only conducive for a kid or 2. The cabin was well stocked. The cabinets/shelves were filled with dishware, glasses, coffee maker, crockpot, etc. The table seats 4, but there are TV trays and side tables in the den. This is an older cabin with older cabin quirks. It isn't as refined as a lot of options, but it is also priced accordingly. It is a nice proximity to skiing, Linville Caverns, Pisgah Forest, etc. There is a local trail head, a large deck & lots of chairs around the fire pit - plenty of outside activities right out the back door.

Great mountain location, needs additional management

It was a great location, with a lot of space. The linens did not seem fresh, towels were not in any restrooms (we had to search and find them in the laundry room). It was a great space, just needs to be cleaned/managed better to justify cost.
