Great cabin with excellent views. My family loved relaxing by the fire pit in the evenings after morning hikes at a lot of great, nearby trails. This was our first time in the area, but we plan to make the cabin trip an annual thing.

We had excellent communication with property hosts. The home was well maintained, and kitchen was stocked with great tools and appliances. Owners provided firewood, toiletries, coffee, a wonderful guide and much more. The view is exceptional! This property exceeded our expectations; location was great as well. Close to grocery, hiking, restaurants and more. Truly enjoyed our stay.

A great place for families. I can't stress enough how wonderful our stay was. Quiet and peaceful with all the amenities yet minutes from Marion's restaurants, groceries, galleries, etc. However, you won't want to leave! The kitchen has all you need, the scenery is gorgeous and as for activities, how about a game room, fire pit and the gorgeous outdoors? The beds are comfortable as well. Easy check-in. No jumping through hoops to check out. Do read about the gravel road and the driveway. Michael is an awesome host,

The MOST incredible place. The view is unbeatable. The amenities Michael provides were wonderful. There were s’mores supplies with plenty of firewood provided for us and a fresh charcuterie board waiting in the fridge. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you could think of and Michael was right there to answer any questions we had and to just check in to make sure we had everything we needed. The house is cozy, warm, and comfortable. It was such a secluded spot and we enjoyed every minute. After a long day of exploring the Blue Ridge mountains, we could not wait to arrive at our little “home”. Would 1000% recommend and if/when we are back in NC we will definitely stay here again.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are glad to hear that everything else during your stay was exactly as described. We are sorry to hear you experienced issues with the internet and TV buffering. We always aim to provide a seamless experience, and our team routinely checks these amenities to ensure they are working properly. We did reach out during your stay to ensure everything was going well, but we did not hear back. Had we known about the connection issue, we would have gladly restarted the router or contacted our service provider to resolve it for you immediately.
We have since inspected the system to ensure it is running at full speed for future guests. Thank you again for your stay, and we hope to welcome you back for an improved experience.
This is an incredible property with stunning views and tones of amenities to make your stay enjoyable. My husband and 2 kids had a great time here it was the perfect place and we cant wait to come back. I highly recommend it

An absolute 5-star mountain getaway! The views are unmatched and the home is beautifully stocked, clean, and superbly maintained. Our multi-generational group (ages 7 to 85) had an incredible time. It’s wonderfully accommodating for neurodivergent guests (ADD/autism), offering cozy nook opportunities for quiet privacy without feeling isolated.The outdoor spaces are fantastic, with an all- weather porch picnic area, a pavilion with a grill, and a safe, easy-to-use fire pit with firewood provided. Working with the host was seamlessly fast.We stayed the weekend before my son and daughter-in-law's wedding, and it was the perfect peaceful space to prepare ourselves and calm any pre-event nerves. We decided we had to come back for another stay just minutes after arriving. I highly recommend it!When reserving I kept thinking that the reviews had to be too good to be true. It lived up to all the reviews and surpassed my expectations.

Great weekend stay! Brought my in-laws for a Memorial Day weekend, and everything was perfect. There was plenty of room, beautiful views, and very clean space. The kitchen was equipped with everything you could want, and since it was raining the entire weekend, it was a great area to stay cooped up. Michael was great in terms of communication too.
