    The cabin was just as nice as we could have asked for. Very well equipped, beautifully decorated, gorgeous view and comfortable. Simply because we are not accustomed to mountain living, we would have preferred easier access - at least a wider road in and out, but even that was truly an experience we will always remember.

    I liked the atmosphere and the remote location. The house was quaint and had everything we needed. The only problem we had was that the spa/hot tub wasn't functioning correctly. The owner and I pretty much played message tag for 3 days. Never got it checked out but she did apologize and refunded us $50 off of our stay.

    Sitting on the porch watching the wildlife was so relaxing! Great view! It’s a nice cabin & delivered on privacy when we were looking for somewhere secluded. There was access to the river down the road if you wanted to get to it. It was the cleanest rental we have ever stayed at. Kitchen was well stocked with what you need to make some great meals. Showers are on the smaller side but manageable. I really appreciated the scentless sensitive skin soaps as fragrances give me migraines. Communication with the owner was excellent as they responded quickly. Thanks for the stay!

    Well… it was bound to happen someday. The world of vacation rentals of houses and cabins now has a new standard of excellence for other rentals to be compared with. This rental and its incredible host, Jennifer Armstrong, have become that standard of excellence! Folks who have rented here in the past (and those who are fortunate enough to rent this house in the future) should be congratulated on their decision. The only problem in making a review of this house and host is that the ratings you can choose don’t allow much higher numbers that are deserved! Thanks for the experience.Bill B and family.

The cabin was very clean and had a new and updated feel, with almost everything we needed. We spent most of our time on the deck in the rocking chairs enjoying the views.

    This was a much needed peaceful time away from our boys. The cabin was very clean when we entered and it was just what we needed. I used the hot tub every day and it was much needed. It was helpful to have an extra bathroom and bedroom. We were shocked by the narrow road we had to drive to get to the cabin, so glad my husband drove. He did say he got use to the drive. Loved seeing the Fireflies every night! Jennifer was amazing to work with, never had a property manager that was so attentive and helpful before. Would definitely book again if coming back to North Carolina and I will recommend the property.

Cabin was immaculately clean on the inside and to our surprise was decorated with the most beautiful woodsy themed Christmas decorations and tree when we arrived the first week in November. Communication with the host was quick and most helpful, as she even sent ideas on things to do in the area and places to eat. Check-in and check-out was a breeze.
