This property was spacious and a great fit for my family. Beds were comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed since we cooked our meals. The porch with rockers and swing was our favorite! Granddaughter enjoyed the games and play room. Fireplace was an added luxury on the cool nights and mornings. Would love to have had a firepit for s'mores. We are already talking about renting for a longer stay next year.

Cozy Cabin

The cabin was nestled up a hill in a private, small community. Beautiful trees with 2 front porch views. The furniture was nice quality and fit the beautiful classy bear theme! The loft beds are exactly that, a loft, but they had their own bathroom so it was good for kids. We loved this property and the host was very sweet. It was very convenient to App, blue ridge, Tweetsie railroad, Banner Elk and a 30 min drive to grandfather mountain-perfect for us. You will definitely enjoy your stay.

Great cabin

We really enjoyed our stay in this cabin. It had everything you would need and more. Location was very convenient for our trip to App State. Owner was very responsive and kindly answered our questions about local hikes and restaurants. If you're looking for a mountain cabin without the treacherous roads to reach it, this is the place. The cabin and grounds are very well kept and clean. I definitely recommend this cabin.
