  We had a wonderful time staying in this cabin. Dan was an excellent host and made everything so easy for us. The cabin is well lit, warm, the beds are exceptional, and the hot tub is hot. There's some nice detail in the home - a well-tiled front bathroom and some vintage appliances in the kitchen. One of our favorite details was access to our own boat to take out on the lake. Boating really made the trip for us, along with quick access to the Blue Ridge Parkway and some really extraordinary hikes. The only thing that caught us off guard was the proximity of the cabin to the road. The cabin sits quite literally on the curve of a road that is well traveled in the daytime by tourists and loggers alike. Had it not been for the boat and hot tub, we may have rated this cabin "good" because of the road. It made for a lot of leashing of the dog and I can imagine it would be unnerving with children. Nonetheless, it was a beautiful trip, and I am considering the location for a fishing trip with my grandfather in the future. The cabin is slightly more suited to fishing than a romantic getaway.

  We live near Nashville, TN and had some family in from Texas and wanted to do a quick getaway to the mountains while they were visiting. The cabin was much nicer than we expected! It is very well renovated and the owner did a nice job keeping the vintage feel. It was very clean and comfortable. The lake is directly across the street and you can sit on the covered porch and enjoy watching the water. It was too cold for us to go out on the lake, but maybe next time. When we were staying, there was a lot of logging trucks or construction trucks using the cabin drive. Also the cabin is pretty close to the road, so keep a close eye on small kids and pets with traffic and running across to the lake. We visited the Biltmore while there (not far at all) and did some hiking. Really nice visit!

  Owner response: Thank you for your review. So glad you were able to get away for a few days with family and enjoy the beauty of Lake Logan and the cabin. Hope you'll come back when it's warm enough to get in the water. The logging trucks are temporary - our neighbor is building a house a good ways up the hill from our cabin and is almost finished clearing his driveway and home site. The road is a two lane scenic byway - the only thing past our cabin is the Blue Ridge Parkway - but we are concerned about safety. Before summer we'll be putting a gate on our side so children and pets who aren't with an adult can't dart across the road. There is also a gate available for the front porch to prevent pets and children from going down the steps and crossing on their own.

  What a dreamy and fabulous cabin in the mountains of Western North Carolina. From the rushing creek that hugs the hot tub, to the endless fish and fishing that Logan offer, to the charming and most comfortable beds and living area and lets' not forget that crazy cool kitchen. The old refrigerator that I enjoyed taking every egg and placing in the egg holder. The old stove that I now covet. The sink that I think we should all have. They kept the old but made it new and fresh and cool. I loved it and I am an avid vrbo client. I love to tell when it's goooooooood and this was ohhhhhhh so gooooooood. Thank for letting us experience Lake Logan. Fabulous! See you in the woods....

  Owner response: Thank you Jim and Jackie for your kind words. A lot of thought and effort went into doing exactly what you described - maintaining the integrity and charm of the cabin (built in 1910) while adding new comforts and conveniences.

  This was my second visit to this amazing cabin. I came in the summer with a group of ladies and enjoyed hiking and swimming in the lake. Sitting on the porch enjoying coffee and conversation was picture perfect with the view of the lake! The weather was beautiful and the water felt great. I returned this December with my 5 and 6 year old and enjoyed the stillness of the lake and nature hikes around the lake. We relaxed in the evening with a great selection of movies while enjoying the warm fire. The cabin takes on the feel of season. The cabin offers all the amenities promised and the decor was inviting and comfortable. Both times I came, as soon as my feet hit the stone steps to the cabin door, I felt that sense of "being away from it all"! This is the best retreat no matter the time of year. I would highly recommend it!

  Loved the cabin – it is easy to feel the care and details of love in the décor. The needlework is delightful! I love the colors and pictures – my favorites are of the old time locals. The hall bathroom sink is delightful. We appreciated the comforts provided to make an enjoyable stay. It was a pleasure working with the owners.

  My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights/ 4 days as our anniversary getaway and we loved it. It was very secluded but yet convenient to Waynesville for excellent food. To be without TV for a few days was interesting and challenging, at times. We would definitely stay here again.

  Owner response: Sheila, So glad you had a good anniversary and enjoyed the peace and quiet of the cabin. Although we do have a DVD player and a library of DVD's, cable service is not available in our area right now. There have been times when I wished we had it, but more often than not I am glad for the opportunity to unplug and (as you experienced) come away satisfied finding fun that doesn't involve screens. We do have an antennea, hot spot and land line for phone service. Also like you, we value the seclusion but appreciate being close to town and having the retreat center (with staff and guests) right across the lake from us.

  This cabin is so beautiful and relaxing. I love the old fashion style! It was very clean and it looks exactly like the pictures online. I came out with a bunch of friends from college and we had a wonderful time. We spent all day on the boats fishing and swimming and at night we grilled, played games and watched movies. We had a blast getting in the hot tub and night swimming as well. The porch is so relaxing and perfect for enjoying a cup of coffee or a beer. One of my friends set up a hammock on the porch and slept outside. We also really enjoyed going to Sunburst, which is right down the road, to hike and swim. I would recommend this cabin to anyone who enjoys nature. It is a great place to get away, and we would all love to come back in the fall.

  This Lake Logan cabin is truly a hidden gem! The cabin is very clean and well stocked. It was a treat to be away from TV, internet (there is a signal booster for some access), and cell phone (ATT has poor reception in this area). The large kitchen was fun to cook in and our boys were curious about the antique refrigerator - it works fine, but can't quite handle being loaded with a week's worth of groceries at once. We had a little spoilage, and now know not to stock it full on arrival. The location is off the beaten path, and the private lake was so peaceful. Most of the time we found ourselves wanting to just stay at the cabin and lake. There's still plenty to do nearby - hiking off the Blue Ridge Parkway and white water rafting were highlights. The owners were very helpful and easy to work with! We will return again!

  We loved this cozy cabin and what you did to it. Loved the beauty and serene water on Lake Logan even thought it was mighty cold for jumping in. Loved reading about Lake Logan and Sunburst and waiting for the full moon to rise and come over onto the lake. Thank you - this place is great - we would love to come back!

  Owner response: Thank you for writing. We're so glad you had a great time at Lake Logan. The lake water is chillier in May and June, when you were there. It is pretty shallow close to the dock, so is very pleasant for swimming July - September.
