Everything was excellent. The host was very thoughtful and had texted ahead of schedule anticipating our needs based off of the cold weather. The cabin was beautiful; it was well stocked and well maintained. We would stay here again, and several of my friends and family (after seeing pictures of our stay) have asked for the cabin information.

So glad you had a good stay! The day after you checked out we had freezing rain and sleet, so your timing was good 👍 thank you for choosing us for your trip and thanks so much for being such tidy guests, we enjoyed hosting you! Happy Holidays 🎄
Excellent experience renting this cabin on VRBO. The cabin was awesome! It was beautifully decorated and we loved hanging out on the screened in porch!
We had a wonderful time staying in this cabin! The cabin is very secluded and quiet but only about 25 minutes from shopping and restaurants. Perfect for a relaxing weekend getaway! Everything was exactly as picture in the listing and very clean, and the host was very kind and responsive. We'd definitely stay here again!
This house is perfection in every way! The house is gorgeously decorated and fully stocked with everything you would need. All beds were super comfy. House was so clean! Hot tub was perfect temp, very clean and very relaxing!

We have been so fortunate to have renters that appreciate the hours we put in to make their stay perfect. We enjoy hearing about the birthday celebrations, honeymoons, anniversaries and special moments they share with us!
Very charming private cabin tucked away, close to the New River. The cabin had exquisite character. Loved the screened in porch for happy hour after a day of hiking! The hot tub was a nice treat! The hostess thought of every detail to make our stay enjoyable!

Very charming property situated deep in the mountains of North Carolina. The property was very clean, organized and beautifully decorated. Plenty of thoughtful notes, labels and information sheets to help with the hot tub, audio/video and area attractions and businesses.
Cozy cabin tucked away on the side a mountain above the river. Beautiful cabin! Owners have thought of everything to make your stay perfect! I could live on the screened porch!
The cabin was perfect for our stay! Perfect location for us, it was very clean, both bathrooms and kitchen were very well stocked. Tracey went to great lengths to ensure we had a great getaway!

Beautiful house above the New River in a quiet neighborhood. The owners have thoughtfully planned for your perfect vacation with many amenities. We got exactly the peaceful vacation we wanted in the NC High Country. The screened porch was our home base with music in the background. Awesome!

A super cozy cabin! This is really unique in its accents with an owner who has thought of all the little things. Everything was so smooth with great communication. We enjoyed a quiet weekend cooking, hot tubbing, napping. It was a peaceful weekend we didn’t want to end.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The cabin was beautifully decorated. Everything we could have needed was available. We just went to Ingles for food and cooked all our meals at the cabin. I fell in love with the screened in porch. I felt like i was in a tree house. My favorite spot was the outdoor couch. It's hard to believe it is early August and we could spend an entire day outside, even in the hot tub.

Thank you so much for booking with us! You sound like me, I really like shopping at Ingles in West Jefferson and also enjoy cooking our meals at the cabin. I agree, the porch feels exactly like a treehouse, we love it! Time seems to stand still in the mountains doesn’t it
Glad you enjoyed your stay, please come back!
My daughter and I spent the weekend here and found it to be exactly what we needed! My husband stayed one night with us and brought his kayak. He enjoyed floating and fishing in the river, super easy to access. My daughter and I loved the screened in porch and we all three enjoyed the hot tub. We hope to stay again sometime. Owner is super responsive and everything was clean and all we could have asked for!

Thank you so much, very happy to know you enjoyed it! Sorry for all the rain, but the cabin is so cozy sitting on the screened porch on a rainy foggy morning, it’s my favorite time there♥️
Great place to unwind and relax! Back porch is amazing. Owner communication fabulous. All the extras you might need and will enjoy. Looks like it has been professionally decorated as the perfect little cabin in the mountains. Secluded, but still close to civilization. 4x4 helpful to get up driveway, but a regular car could make it. Thank you so much Host for sharing this cabin with others! Best vacation ever.

Thank you so much for booking with us, glad to hear you enjoyed the cabin! We enjoy sharing it with people that appreciate the uniqueness of the property. I was a set designer for years so many of the things in the cabin are props from shows I did, lol
We would love to have you come back and stay with us again, thanks for your kind review

The cabin was well-appointed and had great amenities. You can tell the owner cares about the property, and she was a joy to communicate with and gave us lots of great advice. One thing to note is that cabin isn’t right on the water, which we initially thought due to the pictures, but it was just a short jaunt to the water. It’s also remote as the description says, but that’s also part of the charm of it. We felt nicely secluded on the ridge and the screened in porch and hot tub and deck were great. Highly recommended for a relaxing getaway!

Thank you! So glad you enjoyed your stay, we loved having you!
We do say in our description that the cabin is not on the river front, I’ll check the wording to see if it needs more clarification, good to know👍
We hope you can come back for another visit soon
Warm regards,
Tracey
What an amazing place to just leave the world behind! Perfect cabin and host…plus everything you need is thought of in advance. Saw more deer and wildlife than I could count…great weekend.

Thank you so much. We were happy to have you and hope you can come back again for a longer stay! You left the cabin so spotless, if I didn’t know better I would have thought you weren’t here lol.
You were great quests!
This was the absolute best and most relaxing vacation we have experienced in quite some time! The property was peaceful and immaculate! We were able to explore the surrounding area and then spend a restful evening in the screened in porch. The property was well stocked with all the supplies needed for our stay. The host had thought of everything and we are hoping to visit again in the fall.

Thank you very much! I am so glad you had an enjoyable stay at the cabin! I agree, it is a wonderful place to just relax and rejuvenate. We look forward to having you back again! Thanks for choosing us for your stay!!
What a great little cabin! It was a little tricky navigating the road in the dark but it was totally worth the mountain driving! We came to Lansing for a wedding and enjoyed the little town of West Jefferson and the gorgeous mountains. The owners were great at communicating and shared a lot of information about the surrounding areas.
Would love to stay agin!

About the host
Hosted by Tracey
We are NC residents, born and raised, We recently retired and enjoy having a quiet cabin to come to for relaxation and found we really enjoy sharing it with others who are also looking for a relaxing getaway.
Why they chose this property
The Preserve on the New River is a safe and secluded neighborhood with beautiful views of the river and close proximity to nearby towns even though you feel like you are miles from any crowds. There are a few full time residents that are always helpful and there for me in emergencies, which I appreciate when at the cabin alone
What makes this property unique
Haven Ridge cabin was built by father and son Charlie and Chuck Perry. The logs were brought from Danville Virginia from a structure dating back to 1870. The original logs were hand hewn and milled on the property in Va.They were stacked and tagged before transporting to NC. There are still some remnants of the paper tags stuck behind some of the old nails if you look closely. Area craftsmen were hired to help rebuild the logs and add special chinking in keeping with the original building.
The wood trim inside the cabin, including door framing, wainscoting and baseboards were milled from a tobacco barn on the Perry’s farm in Wake County. The kitchen cabinets were built of hickory by a cabinetmaker in Apex NC. All of the decking is built of Ipe (e-pay) wood, a type of Brazilian walnut known for its strength, hardness and durability, often lasting over 75 years.
The cabin was built with love and craftsmanship by the family and they have shared many memories with us about their time owning it. We feel so honored to be the new caretakers for this property. We have hiked, camped and paddled around the New River area for many years and we have always wanted a place in this area. We are so blessed to have this place to unwind and relax and hope you will feel the same peacefulness we do when we visit. Please enjoy!
