A unique and breathtaking getaway awaits when you book this fantastic vacation rental in the mountains of North Carolina. You'll truly feel away from it all with the scenic views of Beach Mountain and Seven Devils Mountain, wildlife, and expansive deck to relax on. Outdoor enthusiasts will love the possibilities that await, from hiking, biking, skiing, kayaking, horseback riding, and ATVing through the countryside. Tour the area and discover delightful attractions like skiing at Sugar Mountain Resort, golfing at Grandfather Golf & Country Club, Kidd Brewer Stadium, and Mile High Swinging Bridge, all within a 14-mile radius. Grand Father Vineyard at the bottom of the mountain has wine tasting and live music for a memorable time.

Upon entry, you'll be met with a bright interior and a cozy atmosphere throughout the well-appointed living space. Relax and make yourself at home by resting on the plush furniture, streaming your favorite movies on the large TV, or indulging in a game of foosball with your loved ones. Marvel at the rustic yet modern decor that brings a homey touch to the place. A kitchenette is provided to make hiking snacks, with a microwave, mini-fridge, and coffee maker, but you can grill up plenty of barbecue on the grill outside. Get a comfortable night's sleep in the main bedroom or on the sofa bed in the living area, washing off in the morning with an oversized-walk in shower in the bathroom.

The main highlight of this beautiful cabin are the decks, with three of them to choose from to relax on and enjoy the view. Play frisbee golf, watch the sunset together, a favorite drink in hand, or stargaze out into the crystal-clear sky. Make memories that'll last a lifetime at this breathtaking North Carolina cabin.

Lacking

The view is the best thing I can say about my stay...plastic utensils, only tiny fridge, a microwave and coffee pot, only water access was bathroom sink, furniture was worn, outside furniture was dirty, inside could have been cleaner, no access to a/c unit or a fan and it got warm during the day so sweated trying to sleep at night. View was nice.

A little disappointed

We were disappointed to discover that our rental was only for the bottom floor. It was my fault that I misunderstood the listing, but the pictures of the outside of the cabin and references to the porches and decks and other outside amenities lead me to believe we had rented the entire cabin. The listing also referred to a kitchenette, which I didn’t realize meant a coffee maker, small microwave, and micro-mini fridge. The inside pictures of the listing are exactly as offered—one bedroom, a small den, and bath with walk-in shower. The “plush” sofa is the main source of seating and is less than comfortable. The rental was small and adequate for two people, but I was expecting more, especially for the cost.
