About the host

Hosted by Faith Bryant

Host profile image
Originally from Iowa, surrounded by flat farmlands, we have a deep appreciation for mountains and water. We love driving down from our current home in TN to relax in this NC cabin we bought in May 2025. We are grateful to have it to share with guests who also want to take a break within nature.

Why they chose this property

The neighborhood pond is a beautiful spot within walking distance of our cabin and is a perfect place to sit on a bench and soak in the scenery, watching for fish, turtles or ducks. Or, you may bring your own gear to fish, swim or kayak.

What makes this property unique

This cozy cabin in a quiet, private space has a wraparound deck with rocking chairs to stargaze at night and look out at the woods during the day. Complete with its own path to a private, covered picnic area and a firepit, you won’t be short of seats to get away from it all.
