Blue Ridge

".....I'm just not sure there are words to describe this magical place. From the moment you open the door, there is such a strong feeling of love, kindness, laughter and joy from all the souls that came before us, inside. This is a place where all emotions come together, a place where my "being" felt peace. The cabin itself has beautiful well thought out spaces for families and friends combined. But, it was perfect for just the two of us alone. Yes, I could go on and tell you all the physical aspects of this somewhat remote cabin, nestled deep in the woods.....but I want to tell you what it did to me/us on the inside. You see, I have had some very sad losses in my life, especially recently. My son died at the young age of 27 yrs. old. My father, then my mother died just recently within a month and a half of each other. Then, while on this vacation I learned that MY dog, my beautiful doberman died on the second day of this trip, back at home. Xena, my dog just turned 5 yrs old. But even more than that, I needed to know....to feel if my husband of almost 25 years still loves and wants me. As I would look around this special place called a "cabin", I realized it was here just waiting for US. It is want we needed most. To get away from the reality of our situation and just bask in the solitude and loving feeling this cabin so happily provides. The biblical references tucked in the smallest of places inside, made it seem as if I was resting in the cradle of Gods arms. Rest is what I felt. Reality is what I need to face now and because of this cabin I feel the strength to face whatever will come. I still don't know the outcome of what will happen to my husband and our marriage, but, I do know that whatever happens- it will be ok. And once again, I am stronger because of it. Thank you"

"It's not easy finding a pet friendly cabin with paved roads leading to it. (The driveway is paved also, although the picture shows gravel. It just hasn't been updated yet.) This one met that criteria, although the road leading to it was a little like being on a roller coaster with those steep hills and turns. The cabin itself is cozy and extremely comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked. The beds are comfortable. The entire cabin is nicely decorated. There are nice personal touches too, like cook books, games and novels. The screened porch was my favorite aspect of the cabin. With the fans running, we stayed out there all day. This cabin is deep in the woods with views of deer and wild turkeys, but no mountain views in the summer. I've stayed in quite a few cabins in Blue Ridge and this is the first one without dead, stuffed animals on the walls. Thank you for that!! (It's not fun eating with a huge buffalo head staring at you!) Bryant's directions to the cabin were essential for finding it. Without them, we would never have found it. We very much enjoyed our stay here."
