Beautiful home set up on the mountain. We would go out exploring other areas in the morning and then back to the house around mid afternoon and relax the rest of the day for our next adventure the next day. The home was very nicely done and beautiful windows to see the mountains. So relaxing. It had everything you needed for a great stay. Very glad we were able to spend our time in the mountains here.

We loved our week at this beautiful cabin nestled on a wooded mountain. Very comfortable and relaxing with plenty of room to spread out, or to spend time together. While close to many trails and cute mountain towns, we really just wanted to sit and enjoy our time. Had everything we needed. Would definitely stay again!

Our stay was incredible! Everything was clean and comfortable. The first thing we did when we got in was to play some of the board games available and sit at the fire table on the patio. We ordered in from a local BBQ place (Haywood's) and that was delicious. Thank you to hosts for providing such a great cabin, we definitely will be back!

Wonderful, comfortable, well equipped and a great easy to use gas fireplace. We wanted a relaxing getaway time to relax and get rested after practicing for months to sing for Christmas programs. Our host was so responsive when I had questions and I appreciate that. The main word is PERFECT for the cabin and whole experience.
