    This was simply a beautiful cabin with a pound just out the huge side doors with a natural stream flowing into it, the sound of the water at night was amazing, very clean and well maintained cabin with immaculate grounds. Kirby was an excellent host.. we couldn’t have asked for a better stay. We stayed 5 days and wished we had more time to explore the surrounding grounds around the cabin.

    The cabin was very neat and tidy, exactly as represented in the pictures. Unfortunately there was a massive ladybug infestation during the time of our visit. We could not use the upstairs bed because there were so many ladybugs everywhere!

    Our host was very clear about our check-in, and actually let us arrive earlier than our check-in time. The grounds are absolutely beautiful! The river was accessible, the grass was well kept and mowed, Grill was fantastic and he provided the charcoal and fluid which made it very convenient. The camper was quaint and comfortable, exactly what we needed. I rate this a 10 out of 10, for people wanting to get away from the busy lifestyle and enjoy the mountain Rivers and views of Robbinsville North Carolina. Highly recommend, and we would love to visit again.

The space was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed, with charming details that made it feel extra special. Surrounded by nature, it was the perfect spot to relax and unwind. I especially loved enjoying a quiet morning coffee on the porch. A peaceful escape that I’d happily return to!

    I gave the location/ neighbor a three star because Snow Hill Ridge Rd leading to the cabin is unkempt and makes the area look questionable. Although, once at the cabin, it was quiet, cozy, and beautifully decorated. The outside area with the waterfall was serene. We loved the greenery surrounding the cabin. The front porch was perfect for sitting and enjoying the evening. Recommend going to some of the local restaurants. We went to Chevelle’s 66 and there was a live band playing. Great atmosphere and good music. Definitely will be going back! and

    Location was great, cabin a little small but clean inside, main TV not working, wifi none existent. Out side colony of bees in the upper part of house problematic. Needs fresh paint and TLC .
