Crooked Cabin is our largest option at Sandy Cut Cabins. Privacy abounds at Crooked Cabin as it is tucked away in the middle of 15 acres of mountain land. Land surrounded by a private garden club which helps to keep the serenity of the property in tack. Crooked Cabin is located at Sand Cut Pass, one of the infamous locations of notorious train derailments in years past. Now that the train has ceased to run the tracks make for excellent hiking; either up to Saluda or down to Melrose where you can stop back by and enjoy the beauty of Pearson Falls or just sit back and relax in the hot tub on the large deck and listen to nature. Please keep in mind that being surrounded by nature includes pesky insects and bugs that occasionally get inside the cabin. We have 3 secluded cabins on the property. Be sure to keep an eye out for local wildlife for sightings of several different animals have been known to frequent the area. While only a short distance from downtown Saluda, once at Crooked Cabin, you will feel as though you are miles from civilization. The fire pit and the overlook bench are shared spaces. The driveway is steep but most vehicles manage it with a consistent pace without hesitation.

Great communication from the host. Beautiful and romantic little cabin. Hot tub is very large and seemingly newer and even though the cabin is older it has some fresh updates in it. The road to the cabin can be tough especially in bad or snowy weather so if you do not own a 4wd vehicle I would make sure there is no chance of snow or ice for your stay. Would definitely stay again.

Thanks Chris, we’re so glad you enjoyed Crooked Cabin. You are correct about snow on the driveway. What came through on January 23 started with ice then snow a week later. Even 4 wheel drive won’t help in that case. However, if we suspect that kind of weather we will let you know ahead of time. You’re welcome anytime.
This was our second stay at Crooked Cabin and we had another enjoyable time. Although there are two other cabins on the property, the location is private and cozy. We enjoyed the hot tub immensely and just sitting on the back porch. The driveway is steep but we didn’t have any issues. Communication with the host was excellent. Saluda is a cute little town and Hendersonville is a short drive. Overall great stay!

Our first time staying in this cabin and it was awesome. The location is perfect to downtown Saluda. We enjoyed the quiet, secluded feel of the cabin and being close to downtown was a plus. The cabin was very well taken care of and had everything we looked for in a stay. Will definitely stay again soon!

That’s wonderful Digit! We’re so glad you enjoyed Crooked Cabin and Saluda. Just let us know when you’re ready to return.
House was clean; slight issue with dishwasher but communication with host resolved the issue quickly. Hot Tub was clean and to temperature. Mountain view was more elevated Forrest view not a long mountain landscape. Overall, good stay.

We’re glad you enjoyed the cabin. Come again when you can.
We had a wonderful time in Saluda. The cabin was nice and the scenery beautiful. Communication with the host was great, and she was always quick to answer questions. The only suggestion would be to mark the entrance a little better with a sign or numbers. If it was there, we missed it. Overall a great stay and would highly recommend to anyone.

Thanks Cindy, we’re so glad you enjoyed Crooked Cabin and Saluda. We are working on individual signs for each cabin as well as a replacement wooden sign close to the bottom. Unfortunately we keep getting rain when we have an opportunity to get the work done. There is a street sign for the driveway but it is hard to see. We hope to have you back soon.
Cabin is great! Owners are very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the privacy and the hot tub.

Perfect for Saluda Hideaway
Great location, nice cabin, great owners to work with. Rustic on the outside and nice on the inside!
Short but restful visit. Quiet amidst the trees. The drive was more challenging than we really expected but once we experienced it… travel there after was great! Loved the town!!

Thank you so much Tabitha. We’re so glad your family enjoyed the cabin. Come again anytime.
My daughter and I really enjoyed our stay. Very nice remote location, yet not too far away from any needs. Easy check in and very clean. We enjoyed the hot tub on the cool evenings and Pearson's Falls was right down the road. Hoping to come back in the fall with my wife.

About the host
Hosted by Penny Phillips & Ginny Bradley
We have lived in Saluda for over 25 years. In the early 70's Robert was Saluda's first health care provider. After serving as the first Medical Director of the Saluda Medical Center he returned to his family occupation and his true passion..flying. His life as an 'ag pilot' has taken the entire family on remarkable journey's across the country for years.
Why they chose this property
When looking for a place to spend our time, on the rare occasions we were home, we found the property at Sand Cut Pass. Before any structures were placed on the property we used the property as a place to introduce our children to the wonders of camping in the mountains. We set up camp on the banks of the Pacolet River every chance we had. Our son learned how to bathe in the ice cold river water and play 'Pooh Sticks' from the bridge. One of the large rocks in the river is still known as 'Joshua's Rock' in our family. Eventually we put a small cabin up higher on the property so we were less inclined to run back to our home in town. This cabin is now used as a 'caretaker's cottage' In the late 90's came the decision to build 'Crooked Cabin'. The cabin was built out of a 'labor of love'. The cabin was to be built by us but shortly after starting the construction on the cabin Robert suffered a severe accident which prevented him from doing as much work as he would have liked. At that time both family and friends joined in to help complete the construction on the cabin. We have since then enjoyed sharing our retreat with family, friends and our wonderful guests.
What makes this property unique
The property upon which the cabin is located is protected on all sides which increases the privacy, however, it is less than 5 minutes from I-26 which can lead to a multiple of mountain adventures. With the outside fire pit on the Crooked Cabin property you can have the feel of the 'great out doors', then relax in our luxurious hot tub on the back deck or retire to the comfort of your cabin. The driveway is steep but 4 wheel drive/AWD isn’t required to drive up. Pickup trucks and hybrid vehicles tend to have more trouble with the incline. However, most of our guests manage to drive up without too much difficulty.
