    This was such a nice place to stay. And it was right off the Blue Ridge Parkway and so close to the music center.

    The toilet seat was VERY loose . The back porch and chairs were filthy. The television was not connected and no instructions on how to use. No information for contacting the company anywhere in the facility. Otherwise nice enough.

    Wed had a good overnight stay. Niced small cabin, nicley furnished. The issues: 1) We had to plunge the toilet which backed up, and 2) Very dangerouse for old people to climb into tub/shower, with no safety rails. Could also have been safer with a rubber bath mat in slippery tub.3) A lot of barking from the neighbor's dogs. Sheila was very helpful and we may come back here again.

    Great bed, all amenities available, cute ambiance. Recommend arriving in daylight, which we did not, because it’s really dark after sunset! The host was very helpful and kind.

    The cabin is a wonderful place to stay. The bed is super comfortable, the towels are soft, the kitchen is equipped, and everything is clean. Check-in was simple, parking was ample, and communication with the host was fantastic. I loved the beautiful fall decorations throughout the rooms. If I am ever in the area again, I would not hesitate to book this property.

    We had a quick but wonderful stay here at this cabin. All the communication was easy and the cabin was perfect when we arrived. It has everything you need. And I appreciate that even the decorations were changed for fall. Out here. You're in the middle of nowhere and at 3:00 a.m. we woke up to check out the stars and saw several meteors. Keep in mind that you are in the middle of nowhere and there's no Wi-Fi. I would time your visit with the Blue ridge music center where there are events all the time and wonderful events from 12:00 to 4:00. I wish I could tell you that I found something that they could do better but honestly the place has it all.

    This property was so comfortable and homey, and the location was unbeatable if traveling on the Parkway. The host (Shelia) is fabulous at communicating and is very accommodating. She added lovely fall decorations to the place to make it extra special. The bed is very comfortable, as well. We would love to stay here again if back in the area! A+++++
