We had a wonderful stay at this cabin in North Carolina. The location was incredibly peaceful, the views were absolutely beautiful and the cabin was fully equipped with everything we could possibly need. The owners were attentive and very quick to respond to any questions, which made the experience even better. We couldn’t have asked for a more relaxing getaway. Highly recommend!

Nice to.get away but boring for kids

The property was nice well maintained. Tv should be updated. The cabin is perfect to disconect but there is nothing to do with kids in a 2 hour radio. Closest market is about 40 min away and community roads are narrow and scary at night. Otherwise its perfect quiet place.

Quite and peaceful

The instructions were pretty straight forward. No cell phone service but typical in many parts of the mountains. Place was clean and as advertised. internet kicked off quite often but figured out that when the televisions were not used it wasn't an issue. Access to a golf cart would be nice but other than that we enjoyed our stay.
