We had a wonderful time in the cabin and especially enjoyed our fires at night. The unexpected snow was gorgeous. The cabin was very clean and cozy and exactly what we needed from our hectic jobs. The drive to the Parkway was fabulous from 151 and enjoyed the Blue Ridge Parkway numerous times during our stay. Thanks again for opening your home to us. Dwayne and Joanne Wiggins

Hi Liz and Bill, I just wanted to thank you for helping us have a WONDERFUL weekend! The cabin was amazing and so well equipped! We ate breakfast on the screened in porch and just enjoyed the quiet mountain air. It was a perfect weekend! My friends and I do this trip every year and have decided to try to stay at your cabin every October. I will definitely keep you I mind for anyone wanting a relaxing weekend away. I look forward to staying at the Carolina Wren next year!

The O'Kellys are warm and gracious. Their cabin is clean, quiet, and fully equipped right down to having a fire laid in the fireplace, ready to welcome you. For a real WNC experience, follow the Blue Ridge Parkway out of Asheville to #151, then down the mountain to the cabin. WOW what a ride!

Quiet, Peaceful, Relaxing... You should be required to have a medical license because this is just what the doctor ordered! We've enjoyed our weekend so much and the majority of it was spent right here on your screened porch!

Bill and Liz, What do I start with? The cabin is enchanting! We have had a wonderful stay in your beautiful cabin. I felt so comfortable and relaxed! It was just what we needed for a restful retreat! It has all the comforts of home and you have thought of everything for your guests. You were so right when you said all we would need is food and clothes! I will recommend it and hope to be back.

The cabin is great. So quiet and serene. We all loved the setting and coziness of the cabin. Thank you for the hospitality and the effort you put into the place. We enjoyed the mountains and the city of Asheville. I'm sure someday we'll return.
