  • This beautiful cabin is the perfect place to get away from it all! It provides an isolated, quiet place for R&R, while at the same time being close to many outdoor activities. Gene and Diane were wonderful hosts and graciously helped us anytime we asked. They have done an outstanding job constructing and decorating the cabin - you will love it!

  • Not to be redundant, but I also would highly recommend Diane's and Gene's worry free, relaxing retreat for all the reasons already listed, but for me, as an artist, it's also topped off with the variety of inspiring Smokey Mountian views and quaint vignettes for endless plein air painting opportunities. Oh, how I wish I had had more time there! Thank you Diane and Gene for your wonderful hospitality!

  • What a wonderful place! We just left and already can't wait to go back. If you're looking for somewhere to relax, this is the place you want to stay. Gene and Diane were very accomodating. The cottage was awesome. It was very cozy and really made you feel at home. The scenery around the cottage is breath-taking. Happy (Gene and Diane's dog), the sheep and the chickens were fun. We had the opportunity to feed the sheep and chickens. Now that we are back home in Illinois, we find ourselves missing North Carolina and our daily routine at the cottage. We would most definitely recommend this cabin. We are so happy that this is the place we chose to stay.

  • The cabin is wonderful - every detail was intended to help us to "decompress" - which we did! Diane and Gene were so accommodating and willing to do whatever it took to make us comfortable. The sheep were a welcome addition to an already amazing pastoral setting. The mountain view was breath-taking - morning, noon and night. The flowers outside the cabin were like a French garden. It was great to be able to leave windows open for the fresh mountain air, even though the air conditioning was more than ample. The washer and dryer ended up being needed after my fall in the river by Highlands - a must see trip down NC 28. Plenty of good restaurants in the area, and bluegrass pickin' on the square every Saturday night in the summertime. We have found our "home away form home" until we can make North Carolina our permanent home! I can't wait to return in October - thanks for everything!

  • I had the pleasure of staying in this beautiful cabin in February 2007. What a quaint and comfortable little place this is, wonderful eat in kitchen, welcoming living room, and very comfy bedroom not to mention a wonderful porch with an amazing view of the mountain. The owners are very accommodating. Can't wait to have an opportunity to go back.
