Our family had a wonderful stay at this cabin. It had everything that we needed already provided. It was cozy and comfortable. It was beautifully decorated to look warm and inviting. We felt very at home here. The views are spectacular! Seeing the water right through the windows as our family gathered around the table for meals was a great bonus. I have already recommended this cabin to my siblings who want to visit family in the Marshall, Walnut, Big Pine areas. Very comfortable!
we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. it was a quick, two night stay but wish it were longer. we took our dog and she had a blast. great hiking trails nearby. would love to visit again.
Beautiful property, really enjoyed the little "pond" and the frogs kept us company! Listening to the river/creek was so serene, just what we wanted. Cabin was clean and very comfortable.
Our stay was absolutely fantastic. The location is sensational as well as the cabin. The relaxation of the stream passing is priceless. We are definitely going to be returning to this place.
My husband and I really enjoyed our stay! The property was the perfect place for peace and relaxation with plenty of opportunity for outdoor adventure.

Welcome to our little slice of mountain paradise! We're a family of four, plus our energetic Bernadoodle, Johnny! He's four years old, but still has all the playful spirit of a puppy, so expect lots of happy tail wags. It's been a lifelong dream of ours to have a cozy cabin nestled in the beautiful Western North Carolina mountains. After years of dreaming, we finally made it happen, and now we're so excited to share our special retreat with you. We've poured our hearts into making this space comfortable and welcoming, a place where you can create your own unforgettable memories. We hope you feel right at home and enjoy the tranquility and beauty of the area as much as we do!
We're also especially happy to be able to help bring guests back into Western North Carolina following the floods, and to do our small part in helping rebuild and support this wonderful community. Your stay helps us all.
