Robbie is a great host, truly went above and beyond expectations—I let him know the crockpot didn’t work and he brought a new one over! The cabin was comfortable, had everything we needed for our six night stay and a lovely porch facing the river. And we loved the location—minutes away from the John Campbell Folk School where we were taking a class. We wound definitely stay here again.

It is a beautiful, serene home with plenty of amenities and spots for relaxation. Close to John Campbell Folk School, it afforded me an opportunity to take a class while my husband took advantage of the many well kept hiking trails in the parks close to Brasstown. He and our dogs, who were welcome in the cabin, had lots of fun taking in the beauty of North Carolina’s stunning beauty. This impeccable home was a joy for all.
