Really enjoyed the Cabin, it was just what we were looking for, a chance to get away from everything. The cabin was nice, rustic, but had all the modern needs, ie Internet, TV if wanted, full stove and cookware. We were looking for solitude and silence, plenty of both. Read some and cooked some meals. Took some walks along the creek and sat on the porch and watched nature. Not hearing the traffic was a grand part of the stay, not since our childhoods have we enjoyed such silence. Maybe too silent!The cabin is close enough to West Jefferson, Boone and Blowing Rock NC to enjoy short trips and do some shopping dining, or have a drink at one of the local breweries, Coffee breweries included. The drive is steep and terrain a little touch, so be prepared, heavy rains can cause driving issues without 4WD. The Decor of the cabin was over the top with Bigfoot and all the little Knick-Knack things in and around the cabin were a treat. It is not a 5 star hotel, it is a "cabin in the wood." It is rustic and quaint. If bugs bother you, mostly outside, this is not your place. The beautiful Cardinal that would land on the railing on the porch was treat to watch. Deer were abundant on the property. Saw no bear, or bigfoot, but know they are around.It is a great place to get back to nature, with a state park across the road from the property and many other mountainous sites in the area. All said, the place is showing its age, but was just what we were looking for!
