We absolutely loved our stay! The house was very clean and well taken care of, and the beds were so comfortable. The hot tub was perfect and such a relaxing bonus—especially with how peaceful and private the setting is. It was exactly what we needed to unwind. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a quiet getaway and would love to come back again!

Perfect Peace

This was a wonderfully tucked away home in the mountains. A beautiful babbling creek and bird songs made this a great place to find peace and enjoy the sounds of nature to its finest. We will stay here again for sure.

The perfect mountain getaway!

This property was the perfect mountain getaway. About an hours drive from Bristol and Asheville made for easy day trips. The property is absolutely beautiful and we saw a lot of wildlife! All of the furniture was updated and very comfortable and we loved the hot tub and fire pit. We will hopefully be coming back in the future!

Cute cabin in the heart of the mountains. If you're looking to get away from it all, this is it. Set up with mostly everything you need. Be cautious there isn't a lot close by so have what you need ahead of time. About a 30 minute drive to gas stations, places to eat. Walmart was 45 minutes for groceries. Nice set up for kiddos in second bedroom. Cell service isn't great driving through the area but WiFi was good at the property. Not a lot of marked areas to explore but Google helped us a long. Hot tub, fire pit and deck all great areas to take in the outdoors.

The tub was great. Everything very nice. I do think u need handles in shower inside horizontal one and a vertical one to hold as u step out. Need a mat on shower so u don’t slip and fall. Information on how you get Chanel’s for people that r not use to all the different programs. We did not know what the ice I glasses in refrigerator were. Curtain in front window and door. Enjoyed it very much. Thanks

First, I will say that this is a beautiful historic house that has been redone nicely. Very cozy feel with a nice comfy king size bed. The second bedroom is cute with games on the wall. Decent size bathroom. Everything was pretty clean. Nice size deck with plenty of seating, grill and a table. Note, if it rains the only cover outside is over the hot tub. The only sounds you hear is nature, besides an occasional car. This place is absolutely serene. Although it rained most of our trip, we got to hear a bear on the mountain side one night. We saw a rabbit running down the road and hung out with a turtle, saw tons of birds and butterflies too.There are a few other houses on the dead end road, everyone seemed kind and waved. I would be careful if you have bad knees, as the step to get inside both doors of the house are tall. The hot tub took 24 hours to heat up, so if you like it hot, I'd set it upon arrival. I recommend going past the house and turning around to park, as the driveway is narrow. We enjoyed the fire pit on our one dry night, there was plenty of wood. If you like solitude, you'll like it in the area. You're about thirty to fourty minutes from a city, Burnsville and Spruce Pine being the bigger two. There are some country stores around, but everything is a hike through winding mountain rds, so plan accordingly. Beautiful stunning views all around the area. Blessed to have gotten to stay here. The owner is blessed to own this piece of Gods masterpiece.

Very responsive host eager to resolve any issues. Very tranquil and peaceful. Kitchen ready with all equipment needed to prepare meals. Beds were extremely comfortable. Nice deck with rocking chairs and table with chairs for outdoor dining. Loved the firepit. Wish we had know we didnt need to bring firewood as it was neatly stacked nearby firepit. It is deep in the woods and the night sky can be viewed without obstructions. The lights around the deck and hot tub area were needed and appreciated. Be careful walking the yard as there are many dips and it is easy to twist an ankle. We loved the subtle festive decor inside. There are steps up to the walkway as well as both front and side door that could use and extra step. Its not spaced as standard steps and was somewhat difficult coming and going. Someone with physical limitaions may have more trouble. Overall we teuly enjoyed this home and all the surrounding nature and beauty.
