About this property

Pet Friendly and Peaceful!

The retreat is close to nature with birds and deer all around the cabin. There are quiet country roads to walk your dog up the mountain or down to the river. No worries if it rains, the front porch is covered and overlooks the trees.

The primary bedroom has a king bed and has access to the bathroom and the back deck. The second bedroom has a twin bed and a desk in case you need to work while you are away.

Remember those nights of campfires and smores.... yes, the fire pit allows you to enjoy those memories again. Easy access off of the front porch.

The side porch has a fountain during warmer months for relaxing with your family and friends or to sit and read that book you've been meaning to enjoy. It also has seating and a small table. A gas grill and charcoal grill are provided so you can choose how you would like the hamburgers, hot dogs and steaks to cook on.

This peaceful mountain retreat is waiting for you and is only 10 minutes from the grocery stores, restaurants and downtown. There is even a doggie daycare and grooming for your dog to enjoy.

Perfect accommodations for myself, my husband and Fannie Mae our schnauzer. Slept really well on the king-sized bed. There was a 2nd bedroom with a single bed and desk. Everything we needed for our stay was available. Nightlights throughout the home helped tremendously, and the exterior lights as well when taking our puppy out at night. Great deck from the side all around the back. Perfect for corralling our puppy or if you have small children.Almost daily the deer came to visit; on our outings we saw a wild turkey with 10 chicks crossing the gravel road along the Parkway.We enjoyed lunch at Park Vista Diner, Hillbilly Diner and Town Tavern.Our host responded quickly when we had questions. We will return and recommend this cabin to our friends and family.Marie from eastern NC

Calming even in the storm.

The cabin was a perfect getaway for us to unplug from technology and connect with nature. We saw deer, wild turkey, hummingbirds, even a big harmless snake, during our short walk to the river. That is where our puppy was able to experience the water for the first time, he thought we was swimming. The last night it stormed but it was so enjoyable with the metal roof and awesome covered porch. We definitely plan for an annual visit.
