Cabin in the woods

We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful cabin in the woods. We were pleased with the fully equipped kitchen. We were happy that the drive up to the cabin was paved. The cabin was roomy, nicely furnished and had a great deck overlooking the mountains. A short walk from the cabin was a cool waterfall and close by were many wonderful hikes and a great winery within a short distance

Great Long Weekend!

This log cabin was the best for our age span and the needs for our weekend together. With 3 full baths and the many beds available to sleep our 5 adults and 4 older teens comfortably, we had the best time! As the listing said it is rustic but very comfortable. I would highly recommend! Owner extremely nice! best time The kitchen was a bit small

Everything we needed was already there. It was the perfect solution for getting our family away from everyday life and shut out the world. It was peaceful, relaxing, and the perfect place to connect and appreciate nature.

Everything was great, we visited many hiking trails, did river tubing and lots of other atractions. Resting every night in the beautiful deck and looking at the stars was definitively a highlight, we will for sure be back :)

Our Final Farewell to Our Father, Doc Fair

Overall, we had a great stay, I truly wish we could have stayed around the rental longer. Basically, we stayed the night and then met with my brothers in law and their families atop Wiseman’s View Overlook!! It was a farewell send off of my father in law who passed away last August. His wish was for the families to get together one last time and in his memory remember the memories we made all over those mountains we had the privilege to cast our eyes on one more time. Doc Fair passed last August and he was a fixture in the Drexel Community! He passed at the age of 90 years while in our family’s care in Tidewater Virginia. So we spent most of Saturday on Wiseman’s View and then we had dinner as a family, making family music, as Doc called it, prior to returning to the cabin. Real quick stay but a real pleasure to interact with the Francis family, corresponding mostly with Greg, through VRBO. Greg was always prompt with the answer to all my questions and the house was magnificent as we had 10 folks and plenty of room. Great location for us because our travel was back and forth to Wiseman’s View and Newland, NC. The Francis family were most excellent and enthusiastic hosts!! I would love to come back to the cabin when I have more time to spend and run through the falls!! I am grateful for their kindness and the opportunity to stay in there wonderful cabin back in the mountains on NC where my family is from!! I recommend this cabin to anyone needing a large spacious cabin.

Beautiful and cozy cabin.

It was a very great experience in this cabin, I loved that has room for up to 14 people. Well that depends on the privacy needed. But it works for us so we'll. The only issue was the Internet signal was partially poor at some times. And rarely got cellphone signal. But other than that we enjoy your stay at this cabin that has a beautiful view from the deck and amazing nature soroundings.
