  We just returned from a week at Southern Charm cabin in the town of Todd, NC. We arrived later in the day and ate at nearby Mellow Mushroom pizza in Boone, which was delicious. Our next day we woke to a beautiful snowfall which lasted for three days! My husband and kids had never seen snow before - so this was a great surprise! The cabin was beautiful, very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The listing description is very accurate and the pictures shown are exact. The one with snow even looks like it did when we were there. Our oldest child loved the loft area where he could play air hockey and watch tv at night. We had a great wood fire every night (firewood was plentifully provided), and made popcorn several times in the provided popcorn maker. We even used the crock pot for hot apple cider a few times, made with spices bought at the Mast General Store in nearby Valle Crucis. The cabin had everything we needed for the week, and we were very comfortable, being able to wash clothes and cook with what was provided in the kitchen appliances (everything as described in the listing). The weather was a frigid low 20s at night, but we remained very cozy and comfortable in the cabin. My only piece of advice for anyone traveling in the winter months: have 4-wheel drive! We did not, and we managed, but we also thought we would be safe the end of March! The weather put a damper on our plans for the area (Grandfather Mountain, Blue Ridge Parkway, The Blowing Rock, Grandfather Trout Fishing, etc) but it was worth it to have such beautiful snow while we were there! Being from Florida - this was a great treat for us. We did enjoy some local shopping though. We will definitely visit again to the area and would love to stay in this cabin again! Thanks Angie for providing all the comforts of home in your beautiful cabin!

  Owner response: Thanks for the nice words about our cabin. We are happy to share it with your family. It is always a treat to get snow while in the mountains and you are right, very unexpected for the end of March. Let me know when your family can return. I am happy you and your family had a wonderful time. Angie

  Just got back from a week at Southern Charm. What a great place to relax, unwind and reunite with our two children; our daughter home from college and our Marine son who came home from California for Christmas. Everything was clean and well maintained and we felt right at home.The Christmas tree and stockings by the fireplace added a nice touch. We spent every evening in the private hot tub. What a great comfort after several hours of snow skiing! We kept almost a continuous fire in the fireplace and there was plenty of firewood provided by the owner.The deck and outside area was very dog friendly. It was nice to be able to just open the door and let our dog out. The owner was very responsive in all of our communications. We've stayed in other VRBO properties and this was by far the best one yet. Thanks Angie for allowing us to share your mountain paradise.

  My husband and I (in our 60s) and our two dogs stayed at Southern Charm from 10/8 to 10/13/2012. It was a perfect spot for us to explore the area around Todd and then come home to a comfortable, clean and homey resting place. We particularly enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub after our hike to the top of Elk Knob mountain. Every morning, the dogs and I would take our walk to the crest of the road and watch the sun come up over the mountain, which made us very happy. My husband was happy with the comfy couch and flat screen TV where he could veg out and watch his baseball. We enjoyed going into Todd and listening to the story teller at the Todd General Store. It was too cold to go kayaking on the New River, but I imagine in the summer this would be a great activity. Angie gave us clear directions and was responsive to all questions. All in all, a great fall vacation!

  Owner response: Hi, Thanks for choosing our cabin for your mountain trip this October. You picked a time with the turning of the leaves that was the best time to go to the mountains. It is great to know that you really enjoyed yourselves and the time at our cabin. Please let me know when you can return. Thanks, Angie

  My husband & I just spent 4 nights at Southern Charm... and it was better than we expected... and exactly what we needed to de-stress! It's like living in a treehouse! The cabin is beautiful and so homey! Our dog loved running around the deck & outside area - and it was great not worrying about him getting out! We are definitely going back again - and stay longer. Everything we needed was there - local information, maps, wireless access, and great TV channels! And we had cell phone access. We are definitely fans of Southern Charm! Angie, thanks for sharing your beautiful cabin with us!

  Southern Charm is so relaxing & inviting. Angie has provided a "home away from home" ! The house had everything we needed to unwind from our busy lives & enjoy the beautiful mountains. Rain kept us from some of our planned outdoor activities but the hot tub & those great rockers more than made up for them. The house is just perfect-clean,spacious & so comfortable. Its location offers lots of privacy but it is also within a short drive to great restaurants, shopping, & sightseeing. Next time we'll do the canoeing, kayaking, tubing, & hiking (weather permitting) !! Thanks so much for sharing this gem with us. The Youngs

  Owner response: I am glad you enjoyed yourselves at the cabin. I know if you both needed some time away and deserve a break in the mountains. Even though the weather was not perfect, it is good that the cabin offered a place to rest and relax. Let me know when you can come again. Thanks so much, Angie

  We were looking for a cabin close to Boone, NC but within a short drive to the Virginia Creeper Trail. We found both in this cabin. The cabin is only 15 minutes outside of Boone in Todd, NC and about 1:15 minutes to the VCT. The cabin itself is wonderful, private and very clean. It was the perfect size for our 2 sons and dog. But could have easily handled a couple of more adults. The boys loved having their own loft to play in, enjoying the air hockey table and private TV. The hot tube was very nice and fit the 4 of us nicely. Plus it is private overlooking the woods. Although he didn't say it (ha ha) our dog enjoyed the cabin also with plenty of room for him to roam and fenced in run was a extra bonus. Having the satellite/wireless internet was great also. We were able to look up directions, restaurants and things to do. Just one note for other parents, there is no yard at this cabin, which we did not mind since we spent our time out during the day and the cabin itself has plenty of interior space. The owner Angie is very nice and responsive. It makes a real difference when you rent from someone who is so hospitable. This cabin is definitely going on our list of great places to stay while in Boone.

  Owner response: Dear Eric and Selena, Thank you so much for the kind words about your stay at our cabin. It really makes sharing the cabin with guests worth it when they enjoy themselves, find it comfortable, and take their time to write a review. I thank you again and hope you will return to the mountains soon. Angie Poston, owner

  As a highly critical traveler, I have to confess that I was so pleased with the Southern Charm cabin. The cabin itself is tastefully decorated, well maintained, and very clean. The hot tub was the perfect way to unwind after a busy day mining for emeralds! This area of North Carolina is rich with history and offers plenty of outdoor activities...or for someone like me, allowed me to unwind and relax. Vacationers should be aware that this area of NC has very poor to no cell phone reception. Luckily the free wi-fi allowed us to stay connected to the world a bit. We invited our family who lives in town to visit and they fell in love with the cabin and will be recommending it to other visiting guests as well. It is ideally suited for both adults, children, and dogs alike. I highly recommend Southern Charm and will absolutely be staying there again in the future!

  Owner response: Hi Beth and family, I thank you for taking the time to write such a nice review of our cabin. It is peaceful and we love to enjoy the area as well. I will agree with the cell phone coverage not being perfect with some carriers and that is due to the high mountain range blocking some carrier's signal. When your group is ready to return, ust let me know. Thanks, Angie

  LOVED, LOVED the cabin. Angie, thank you so much for helping make this family vacation a wonderful experience. Such a charming place and VERY convenient to Boone and other area attractions! Our kids (9 & 3) were so thrilled to be returning to the cabin each day..some days asked to return when my husband and I wanted to keep going. My son is already planning our return. It was a great place to return to and just relax!!! This was just what our family needed and your cabin made it extra special! Thanks again from our family to yours!!!

  We stayed at the cabin for a short honeymoon and had the best time! It is private and quiet. We loved using the fireplace for romantic evenings. The hot tub is great and the porch is so peaceful. The beds are the most comfortable beds I have ever slept on in any cabin or hotel. The cabin is super clean and tastefully decorated. Angie was very accomodating, kind and helpful. We could not ask for a more perfect cabin or rental experience. We hope to be back very soon! Thanks, Angie, for everything.
