We enjoyed our stay & would like to return in the future. Although the leaves were just beginning to change color in the upper elevations, it was still very beautiful. We enjoyed the special touch of the sheep throughout the house, especially the framed tee shirt. Hearing the train pass several times daily reminded me of spending time with my grandparents. Our host was very helpful & his instructions were great.

Cute cabin near lots of great hikes!

Stayed here with three friends to explore Grandfather Mountain and the Linville Gorge area. This cabin proved to be in a great spot for our purposes and was comfortable, spacious, and reasonably priced. Would do it again in a heartbeat!

Perfect long weekend in the mountains

My husband, two daughters, and dog stayed here for three nights. It was a rainy weekend, but that gave us the excuse to enjoy the house more. We played games, watched movies, read books, and slept and ate well. The house is very comfortable, with lots of room to spread out, and very quiet. Highly recommend for anyone looking for some R & R!

Great stay but checking in (or even getting through front gate) through the app was a bit frustrating since host provided check in instructions through messaging, just FYI.Well laid out house with plenty of room, especially with loft and basement. TVs were a bit primitive (actually still had VHS player in the basement LOL) but Starlink high-speed internet access more than made up for those deficiencies for the small amount of time we were inside. Mountain views, at least in the summer, are completely blocked by line of tall trees in front of the deck; seemed like a common issue for a number of the houses in this gated community.Great location, central to all the hiking trails & falls we wanted to visit.

Lovely home

We had a lovely time in this timeless, very tall (3 level) log cabin! The kitchen isn't huge, so expect to bump into each other as you get your breakfast but is well-appointed. They had everything we needed and more. The two stories of windows in the great room put the trees and mountains as the centerpiece of our stay. When we arrived, the CO alarms were going off and the place wasn't cooling well, but Greg was responsive and responsible and all was well in short order. (Turns out there was no CO. It was just time to replace the sensors.

Cabin in the woods

We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful cabin in the woods. We were pleased with the fully equipped kitchen. We were happy that the drive up to the cabin was paved. The cabin was roomy, nicely furnished and had a great deck overlooking the mountains. A short walk from the cabin was a cool waterfall and close by were many wonderful hikes and a great winery within a short distance

Great Long Weekend!

This log cabin was the best for our age span and the needs for our weekend together. With 3 full baths and the many beds available to sleep our 5 adults and 4 older teens comfortably, we had the best time! As the listing said it is rustic but very comfortable. I would highly recommend! Owner extremely nice! best time The kitchen was a bit small

loved it

thanks, you so much for a wonderful stay. the cabin was beautiful, clean and we loved it. the only issue I would say is trying to get out of the driveway. in a large truck, there was not a lot of room to maneuver and if we had had a second vehicle, I don't know how that would have worked due to the fact I am not use to such tight steep driveways. Overall, the cabin was amazing. thanks, you so much for a wonderful stay
