Happy ones

We were extremely pleased with everything. We loved the cabin. It was perfect. The owner/host, Greg was such a great guy. He was a joy to talk to and listen to his stories of life. Very accommodating. Would love to visit again.

The perfect stress free getaway!

Simple, clean and budget friendly. If you want to be able to enjoy nature, relax to the sounds of the birds and babbling creek, or test your fishing skills, this is your place! The owner was a first rate host, and went the extra mile to help me enjoy my stay. A wonderful place to visit!

Quiet simplicity

Traveling for Wilderness first responder training and wanted a quiet place to end my day. Greg, my host, was very welcoming and provided a peaceful little oasis. Super clean and quiet. Perfect for 1 or two people

Quiet and pleasant stay

The cabin was a very peaceful place to stay! I loved the location--the sound of the creek right behind the cabin was especially relaxing. The cabin itself was quiet, clean, and comfortable. I was there for a slightly longer stretch after moving, and there was plenty of storage space. Greg was a friendly and welcoming host, and was happy to help and answer any questions I had. I enjoyed staying here and would definitely recommend!

Week to Unplug

This was a great place to stay during a week when I wanted to unplug and recharge. Close to town, so you can easily reach restaurants, but far enough away to feel private. The cabin is small, but there's plenty of room to store things, so it never felt cluttered. I had no plans and brought stuff to do a number of things. There's a creek behind the cabin that was a constant relaxing sound and helped sleep. And Greg was a great host - communicating when he would be around the property working/making noise, but also making sure any needs are met. Would definitely stay here again.

Good place, good host

Good affordable way to explore the area. Nice new platform with chairs on the bank of the beautiful creek, a great feature. Friendly host provided coat hangers on request. Cabin could use small chest of drawers or set of shelves as place to unpack clothes into. Whole place is clean, with newish feel to it. Important note: shower/sink/toilet room is separate from cabin, 15-20 feet away. It was exclusively ours, but having to emerge from our cabin to use it was something I would have preferred to know explicitly beforehand. Good place overall which my girlfriend enjoyed, which is the most important thing, with good kind honest host.

Just what I needed

It was just myself on this trip. The cabin was perfect for what I needed. Close to the blue ridge parkway. Close to a lot of hiking. The cabin itself was clean and well maintained. It was about 3 or 4 miles to Sylva with restaurants and any supplies I needed. Greg was friendly and made the process very easy. I left 4 days early because of the storm Helene. Wish I could have stayed.

Great spot for much needed down time

Very laid back and relaxing. Greg was great and very flexible. His cabin was next door, and he was always available and very friendly.
