My son and I came to check out WCU and had a great stay at the cabin. Only 20 minutes from the school and located up on the side of a mountain, the cabin had everything we needed, particularly some peace and quiet and a comfy bed. Would definitely come back if in the area again.

The cabin was great. Much larger than expected. Clean. Tidy. Located well. Very kind and responsive hosts throughout the whole process. Loved the porch. It is a very bright cabin! Which is wonderful, however I am a light sleeper and very sensitive to light. Just wanted to note that here in case anyone is like me you can be prepared. For a normal person, they would probably LOVE the light. It was a wonderful place!!

Great cabin in the mountains!

We really enjoyed our short stay at this cabin. It was just what we were looking for. The view was amazing and the interior was cute and cozy. The drive up the mountain was a little scarier than we realized it would be but we quickly got used to it. It was a great spot to stay while exploring the area.

Nice property

Very nice property with great views. Location is easy to get to, but recommend a vehicle that isn't low to the ground, it may scrape in some spots on the way up the gravel road. Would definitely stay again.
