The cabin was lovely with lots of room and comfortable beds. Getting up the switchbacks was a bit difficult but thankfully the SUV we were in made it up. No tv available during our stay as it wouldn’t connect to the internet but luckily we all had some sort of e device. Overall lovely place and very clean,
Wonderful stay. Driveway was STEEP and a little treacherous but that was expected in the mountains. Just be aware if booking in winter. Had everything we needed and not a terrible drive into town. Would definitely stay again.
We booked this cabin for a quick ski getaway. The cabin was conveniently located, and easy drive to Appalachian Ski Mountain, Blueridge Parkway, Grandfather Mountain, and Blowing Rock downtown area. The cabin itself was perfect. We had everything we needed and more. Fantastic stay!

The house is beautiful. The driveway is a little tricky. We took the grandkids (age 9 & 10) to Tweetsie Railroad. They had a blast. One of the grandkids has Cerebral Palsy. The child is able to walk but gives out faster than other kids. We left Tweetsie and went back to the cabin. We ate and headed out to the hot tub. When we lifted one side of hot tub, we saw an empty tub that was dirty and 1 part that looked like it was missing. Needless to say, we were very disappointed. Especially the child with Cerebral Palsy who just wanted to soak her legs in the hot tub. If we would have known the hot tub wasn’t working, we would have chosen somewhere else. We were not told the hot tub wasn’t working.
