The cabin is such a unique and historically special place! It has everything you need and more (the hot tub is well maintained and truly relaxing). The proximity to downtown and the AT is perfect; you are only a few steps away. It's a great spot, my husband and I enjoyed our stay, and we look forward to staying again.

It was a wonderful visit to Hot Springs for the first time! We loved how close the house was to town and the AT, as well as accessibility to many other trails! We enjoyed the character and history of the older house, and the quaintness of the town. It was a highly relaxing getaway, which is just what we needed. We certainly would return for another enjoyable weekend!

This place is perfect for a relaxing getaway! It’s well-equipped, in a beautiful area, and Melanie, the host, is super knowledgeable of the area. The town is rebuilt well after Helene with some fun things to do and lots of natural beauty, but you might not even want to leave the house with the connectivity, games, books, and hot tub.

Cannot say enough great things about this special place! We absolutely loved staying in this historic log cabin and visiting the resilient town of Hot Springs. The cabin was cozy and comfortable with all the amenities we needed and more. The host was welcoming and thought of everything you may need. We loved the location and being able to walk into town and being right on the AT. This is one of my favorite stays ever.

We had a great stay! The house was very clean and communication was fantastic when we had a couple of questions. The home is very authentic to the time period it was built.We didn't know prior to our visit that Hot Springs is actually part of the Appalachian Trail which added some interesting sights to visit.

Wow! You discovered one of the best features of the Chestnut Log Cabin; the rocking chair front porch! Many guests consider relaxing on this front porch their special happy place! It is so great to park your car when you arrive and step right onto the Appalachian Trail and walk to the town of Hot Springs, restraurants and the natural mineral baths. Please return soon.

Great stay in Hot Springs!

Came in a week early to spend some time exploring the area before attending a wedding at the Magnolia House. Although the area is still making a comeback from the hurricane, we were able to try Vinyl Pizza, the diner and the brewery in town when not out enjoying some good front porch sitting! Cabin was well equipped. We used the hot tub once which was awesome! Very relaxing stay.
