This was our 3rd annual stay. Fan is a great host and this is our favorite place to stay for our annual fishing trip. The cottage has everything we need for a comfortable trip.
Beautiful location. We are long haul travelers so we wish we had stayed longer. This was just an overnight stop over for us. But it was very beautifully put together, more than enough space for the whole family.
This was the 3rd time that we have stayed in this awesome home on our way to the OBX. As always, the home was very clean, well taken care of, and very comfortable.If we weren't impressed we wouldn't have booked this home three different times.
Our family spent a short trip one night in June 2025, and we were very pleased with the place. The house is spotless, and everything is very welcoming and well-organized. The antique piano is a plus, and the ping-pong and air hockey tables are fun. We sure would love to come back and stay at this place.
We have stayed at many VRBO properties and this one was one of the best. Beautiful setting, large and spacious cabin and stocked with ANYTHING you might need. I was incredibly impressed with the thoughtfulness of the owner who supplied everything from ziplock bags to personal care products. Absolutely outstanding.
This was an excellent property for our family to stay. We made many memories as we celebrated my son's graduation from the local high school in Carroll County. Everyone present complimented the space and availability of activities and amenities to make it feel just like home.
Lovely log cabin, well appointed, comfortable and convenient. Well stocked with utensils/appliances for cooking. Great location for wineries and hiking. Communication with host was easy and helpful.
We really enjoyed our week's vacation. The host was so helpful and provided everything we needed. The area was very quiet and the property well maintained. The weather was perfect during our stay, so that was a plus! Many thanks to the host!
4 adult siblings and a spouse enjoyed a brief stay in the area. The property was as described and comfortable. We did not do any meal prep but it looked like it would have everything you’d need.
We had no issues and would recommend this property to others.
The house is so lovely. It was so peaceful to sit out on the porch and hear the sounds of nature.
The kitchen had all the pots, pans, dishes, small appliances, etc. that we needed. The ping pong table and air hockey are a fun extra. We really enjoyed our stay!!
Very clean and well appointed. Cell phone friendly. Nearby Crooked Creek Wildlife Management Area full of fishing holes stocked with trout. Great place to get away from it all.

About the host
Hosted by Fan Zhang
I'm a Purdue graduate. I love nature and like to hike. I experienced mother nature's impact on my healing, vitality, and creativity. It charges my body, calms my mind, soothes my soul, and inspires my sense of awe.
Why they chose this property
We are family of four living in Cary, NC. Our favorite family activity is hiking. We travel near and far to visit national and state parks and various trails. Two kids have collected many Junior Range badges. As the kids grew older and got busier with schools and activities planning a long trip became less practical. We decided to find a place close enough for a weekend getaway. After a long period of searching, we found Joy Ranch Cabin. It was by no means what it looked like now. We spent the next eight month traveling back and forth as the cabin undertook a complete transformation. Special thanks to Kim and Robert from Due West for all the hard work on the cabin, Brian and Marvin for graveling the driveway, and many others who made our dream come true.
I was on the phone with an operator while driving to pick up kids from swimming practice one evening. While waiting for a transaction we started chatting. I asked her when her shift would be over. She said "Almost, it has been a long day. Would be nice if I were at a place next to woods by myself and not have to think what's next..." Her words resonated with me. It would be nice if we were able to share our cabin with others while we were not occupying it, allowing others to enjoy time spent at the cabin to wind down, get refreshed, recharged, reunited with friends, family, and mother nature, and find their true selves.
What makes this property unique
On a summer afternoon, my girl dressed in a sky blue skirt sitting on the swing at the front porch while I was reading a book to her. A blue-greyish butterfly flew by, perched on a string of the swing, and gently flapping its wings. Cool mountain breeze suddenly whispered its way through trees, caressed my girl's long black tresses, and startled the tiny blue wings. Before I could capture the moment, it was gone. We stained the swing in blue.
