A little piece of Heaven

We stayed for three nights and totally loved it. The cabin was awesome with fantastic views of the mountain. Thank you so much for the little touches such as candles and matches to light them. We really enjoyed having our morning coffee on the deck and watching the birds and squirrel play in the bird feeder. The atmosphere was very cozy and quiet which was really appreciated during our precious little down time. I love the Blue Ridge area and all of the attractions that are so close. We enjoyed a wine tasting at Cartecay Vineyards, site seeing in Helen, Georgia and Amacicola Falls. The Jacuzzi was a welcome oasis after walking down all those steps at the Falls ? We definitely will and have recommend your cabin for a great place to stay. Thank you so much for sharing it with us. Greg & Lori

Florida Teachers Visit the Mountains

Staying at this cabin was one of my most exciting moments in time. This cabin is well equipped with all you could ever need. The awesome mountain views and the hot tub created a tranquil relaxing atmosphere. The abundance of wild life surrounded us in all directions. There is nothing more captivating than seeing a doe deer stroll by in the front yard at 5:00 a.m. in the morning. Many colorful birds and a couple fat squirrels visited us daily. It was truly nature at its best. When our time was up, we didn't want to leave. But work called us home. We can't live in a dream world forever. I recommend this cabin to everyone. It was truely a worthwhile vacation.

What could one say about the most wonderful accomodations anyone could ask or think of. The photos do not do justice to the actual cabin. The quality of the cabin plus the most Godly view as it unfolds before your very eyes. If this weekend experience had been any better I do not know if we could have disembarked and returned home. Everything about this experience from contact with the owner to the completion of our stay was most enjoyable. I would highly recommend this cabin for anyone who is looking for a quite, peaceful time away. God Bless we enjoyed!

The pictures don't do it justice. The house is HUGE and a true high-end log cabin. The main floor area is very roomy with beautiful windows and an open layout. The master suite on the main level is fantastic- the bed is unbelievably comfortable. The bedroom suite upstairs rivals the master, it has its own personal deck with a fireplace that is very romantic and cozy. The basement has darts and fuse ball once you come in from the hot tub. This cabin has it all!!!! Even the towels are luxurious! We enjoyed our weekend stay so much we want to come back longer.

Could not have been more pleased with the cabin and the views. The cabin was beautiful and well stocked with everything u might need for all your creature comforts. Loved the fireplace with the propane log starter which made life simple. Would highly recommend this property to everyone, a 5 STAR rating.

Beautiful view

Date of Stay: 10/16/10 Review Submitted: 11/01/10

We've stayed in the area for 3 years as visitors. This cabin has by far the best view. It was very clean, not too far out, and offered great creature comforts. We cooked on the grill, made dinner a few nights and had hot chocolate on the deck. The bird feeder is nice on the main floor deck, you can sit and watch several different species, as well as squirrels come to eat. Waking up to see the sunrise is incredible through the glass doors in the Master bedroom, and the same is true for the sunset you can see in the living room. We really enjoyed our stay, and would reccomend it to everyone.

Owner response:Thank you Joyce, We hope to have you back soon. Tell all your friends!

Your cabin is absolutely wonderful! I was extremely pleased to find the cabin exactly how it was represented in VRBO. We have rented vacation homes in Florida and Georgia they are not always as nice as they seem in the ad. Your cabin is NOT one of those. It is spacious, beautifully decorated, and exceptionally clean (even outside)! We plan on many return visits!

Owner response:You are both very welcome. I know you booked early and that's great. I'm glad I was up to your expectations, Sincerely, Steve Bavone

I stayed in the house at the end of March and it was like staying in a friend's home, it was that comfortable. The house was so clean, the views were awesome, the decor was nicer than your typical mountain house. The street is a great place for an evening walk for exercise. The upstairs fireplace outdoors next to the loveseat was my favorite place. Great TV with LOTS of channells in case the weather is rainy. Very comfy bed. Did not get a chance to try the hot tub. I was by myself and can't wait to bring the family next time! Steve was very helpful and pleasant to deal with. Overall, a great stay.

Owner response:Thank you Angela, You and your family are always welcome to stay at our sanctuary.

Peter and I have stayed at this cabin twice and are always eager to make our way back! It is incredibly beautiful, serene and quiet. There are nearby trails and the sunsets/sunrises are just perfect. I've never slept better (the beds are uber cozy), and the upstairs bedroom complete with balcony fire-place makes for a great private room.

Owner response:Excellent guests!! I wish all of my guests were as thaughtful as these. They are welcome always!
