Second time at our home away from home. I see a third visit soon. Only complaints were the lack of shower pressure in all showers and an uncomfortably hard mattress in the master room. Other than that this is THE place to rent. It has it all. And the view of Grandfather Mountain right outside the front door is truly spectacular. We will definitely be back for our next vacation.

Spacious cabin with so many amenities! The kitchen had all the pots and pans you'd need and even many spices. The hot tub was great. The trail to Otter Falls being in the backyard was so convenient! There's an accessible creek in addition to the falls that our dog loved. We saw deer and turkeys in the front yard. The front porch was very comfortable to hang out on. The only negative for us was that the cabin is pretty dark inside, even in the daytime. Lots of wood paneling. Would highly recommend staying here. Susan was a very responsive host.

Great location, with a hike right out the back. The game and theatre rooms were great, especially since we had some rainy days. The boys had fun playing pool, and we made family memories playing Uno and games. Kitchen was well stocked and beds were comfortable. Kids all said we should go back again!

Very nicely appointed and decorated cabin. Kitchen was well equipped, beds were very comfortable, the grounds were clean and well landscaped. Our host, Susan, was easy to work with and accommodating. Lots of deer and turkey around the property. One morning had a big tom turkey gobbling like crazy in the front yard. It was a fun stay!

We had a great time at the Otter Falls cabin. We were busy the whole time with skiing, snow tubing, hiking, and had a blast on the alpine coaster. Every day we came home and hopped right in the hot tub to relax. We saw a family of deer multiple times in the back yard. We will definitely be coming back for another stay.

Large and newer hot tub. Loved the touch of the warmth of coming in the cabin with a Christmas tree, since we were there over the holiday. I am sure it would be beautiful in the summer with all the flowers. Nice walk to the falls. Very convenient.

We had such a lovely stay!! The host was very kind and communicative before we arrived and made sure that we were equipped for snow conditions. We ended up getting quite a bit of snow which was so nice for our winter trip. We got to go tubing just a few minutes up the hill and skiing at the nearby ski resorts. Our small children loved playing at the cabin. It was well stocked with lots of games and toys. We cooked all of your meals at the cabin, the kitchen had everything we needed. The hike on the property to the little waterfall is so nice and our girls really loved that too. Would recommend staying here, we would love to come back!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this cabin in Seven Devils and would give it 10 stars if we could. The views were breathtaking, and the cabin itself was incredibly clean, cozy, and well cared for. It was the perfect spot for our family—our kids especially loved the theater room and the hot tub, and there was plenty of space for them to play and relax.One of our favorite features was the trail access right on the property that leads to a beautiful waterfall—it felt like a hidden gem and made our stay even more special. Everything about this cabin felt welcoming and comfortable, and it truly felt like a home away from home.Our kids loved it so much they didn’t want to leave, which says it all! We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to families looking for a peaceful, memorable mountain getaway.
