BEAUTIFUL cabin on top of mountain

It was a great experience! We loved our time spent in this place!

We enjoyed the property, the view was great. It had three separate floors, each with a bathroom and bedroom, this worked well with our three families. Kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed to cook our Thanksgiving meal for 10 people.

We had a good time at this property. However, my husband was unable to join us down stars due to his ability to walk up and down the steps. We found a way by walking out side during the day so we could see where we was walking. Bears woke us up on several nights. First night, everyone was scare due to them being on the deck checking out everything. Moma and 3 cubs. Trash go out and we had to clean that up. We are nature oriented and did not mind seeing them. However, they where right outside our room window.. Host answered every question we emailed and was helpful in all ways . However, I have been charged extra money because after we left the property and was on our way home the bears came back that night and got into the trash and how are we responsible for something we have no control over. We bagged all the trash minus a few boxed thate had toys in it. But over all we enjoyed our time. The veiw is worth it.

The property was great. The roads up a bit scary but doable! We loved it!

We had seven adults for a Christmas gathering. The space was absolutely perfect. The view was spectacular, the fire warm, fun games, a hot tub to sit in while looking over the mountains. The beds were comfy and there was plenty of kitchen stuff to make a great meal.

The post for this property promised a wonderful view...it wasnt accurate. The view was spectacular. At dusk or dawn, it was hard to tell where the Earth stopped and Heaven started....the photos tell it better than I. This property was absolutely as depicted. Three spacious levels that offer the same spectacular view. Pleasant decor throughout that made this vacation home feel welcoming, cozy, and rustic. Peaceful retreat with lots of wildlife. If these owners will have us, my wife and I would love the opportunity to vacation here again.

This was our 4th visit to Magnolia Retreat and we absolutely love it. The view is beautiful and layout of the house is great for families or multiple couples with kids. Each floor has a bedroom and bathroom so everyone has their own space. It is also convenient to everything. We went to Mercier Orchards to pick apples, hiked to Falls Branch Falls, and explored downtown Blue Ridge. All of our adventures were less than a 30 minute drive. You really couldn’t ask for a more cozy cabin or kinder owners. We are so thankful and will definitely be back.

Breathtaking view! Warm and spacious well stocked home. Exceeded our expectations! Well maintained and great layout!

The photos attracted us, but they don't do justice to this property. The views were AMAZING and no, I couldn't capture the beauty with my camera either. The layout is PERFECT with rooms spread over three levels. We knew we'd love the hot tub, but the fireflies gave us a nightly show as we floated our stress away. What we didn't expect was spending hours (and hours) playing pool with the boys, just laghing and being close without the gaming consoles in our lives. The location is about 10-15 minutes from town which was perfect for us since we wanted to unplug and unwind, but it was convenient enough to have several great meals, go tubing and river rafting, gem mining, play miniature golf... the list goes on. We were thankful for the 4WD truck my wife's father loaned us-- I can imagine some cars might have difficulty on that last stretch up the hill to the cabin. As the listing states, there is no WiFi (a perk for our selection to eliminate Xbox and work computers) but we had better-than-expected cell service, so we didn't unplug quite as much as we'd hoped. But that was on us. We still returned completely refreshed! Other things we loved that we hadn't thought about: Nearly instant hot water and great water pressure. Ceiling fans galore supplemented the powerful AC. Nice appliances including a dishwater. Nice plates, silverware, cooking pans and untelsils were all appreciated. A Master BR that seemed miles away from the game room on the lower level! We made a fire one night in the fire pit and had smores. We didn't get to see a bear, but we saw the evidence (paw prints and claw marks includes) of one that tried to raid the bear-proof trash. Watch your little ones! Sorry this has probably gone on too long, but we would HIGHLY recommend this lovely cabin in a fantastic location to anyone who wants to 'get away' for few days, unplug, and unwind. Our batteries are fully recharged!

Meet my family needs perfectly!!
