It was clean and had a beautiful view! The road up was a little tricky but if you want to be in the mountains then that's what it takes! I would recommend it!

Loved our stay

We loved our stay. The only drawback is the drive to the house. Lots of lower income properties affected by hurricane, so a lot of dirt and not so great views. Once at the house, the story is different, beautiful views. The house was clean. Beds were hard but okay to sleep on. Good appliances. Overall great stay

Fantastic!

Felt cozy as soon as we arrived and walked in the door. Everything was clean and welcoming. No fuss entry. We had everything we needed and a few extras...like a tea box! Can't beat the view. It's quiet and private but not all alone on the mountain. We'd go again in a minute!

Mini Getaway

We really enjoyed our stay in North Carolina. We are from Michigan and wanted a break from the cold weather and a change in scenery. While we were visiting we disc golfed and golfed. The home was perfect for what we needed. We were a bit confused because the listing says whole house but you either get the top floor or bottom floor. It's two rentals in one. We had no issues though, the other renters were quiet and the neighborhood was peaceful. For those thinking of staying here, I would highly recommend, just know that the drive up the mountain is a bit scary if you are not used to the incline. The home was perfect!

Winter Getaway

Property was exactly as described! Perfect weekend getaway. The road up to the cabin was still well intact after the storm. The surrounding devastation was very apparent but every business we stopped by was so thankful to have customers(tourists) coming back. The cabin itself has a great deck for long range views and the indoor fireplace was perfect for the cold winter nights! Would stay again 10/10

Didn’t get to actually stay

Booked the cabin in advance. Drove 10 hours from IL to NC with my son. Got to the cabin, LONG way up to the cabin, got right in but noticed right away there was no heat or electricity. Long story short, owner called me back said we couldn’t stay, she had emailed me(but I had been driving 10 hours and hadn’t checked my email), a tree had fallen and knocked the electrical box off the house.She said VRBO was to find me another ndic

Home base for hurricane relief

My mom and I traveled to WNC to bring supplies and volunteer with Samaritan's purse. The location of this cabin was perfect - very close to Asheville, Black Mountain, and Old Fort.

Wilderness calls!

Beautifully quiet, dark starry magical skies, birds bring the woods to life at dawn and wildness abounds all around, but weirdly the cabin is just 13 mins from ingles and Starbucks!

Great Place with Awesome View

This place is a gem. If you’re looking to be off to yourself in nature but with amenities of home this is perfect. So convenient to the Blue Ridge Pkwy, Catawba Falls, Black Mountain, and Asheville. The place was clean and tastefully decorated with an amazing view off the back deck. We’d definitely come back!

Peaceful Anniversary Getaway

This is such a lovely space, perfect for a short anniversary getaway for me and my husband. Well appointed and comfortable, with amazing views. Secluded but close enough to great shopping, dining, and hiking for short excursions or a nice dinner. Would 100% stay again.

Very relaxing stay

This mountain cabin was so nice. Check in was easy and the place was pretty comfortable and well stocked. There's a wood burning stove and a balcony overlooking the mountains. The interior was well designed and up to date. Mattresses were a little firm but that's just personal preference.

Perfect spot for our family

This was such a nice escape up the mountain—the views, the peace and quiet—all while still being close enough to explore the surrounding sites. It was the perfect size for our family of four (two young children). We loved this well appointed space—a lovely cabin tucked into a beautiful setting.

Misleading

The cabin itself was great and was just what we were looking for. However, we arrived to see another vehicle parked at the cabin only to realize that the lower level of the cabin is also a rental. I booked a cabin in the woods for privacy. Thankfully the couple downstairs was out most of the day, but when they were down there we had to walk quietly and avoid the balcony since we were awkwardly right above their balcony. The lower half being a rental should have been made known to us. There is no mention of it in the description. We may have decided to stay somewhere else, which may be why they don’t want to disclose it in the first place.
