Ski & Hike! Creekside Cabin 7 Mi to Linville Falls

My family and I have stayed in this cabin twice! Once during the summer (July) and again during winter (January). Both times were wonderful! The location is perfect. In the summer we were able to do tons of hiking and play in the creek behind the property. In the winter we went sledding and skiing. Everything is very convenient and close! The cabin is clean and cozy. The bedrooms are a good size with comfortable beds. It’s a really great place to relax with friends and family!

Great access to Linville Gorge. We had 5 adults. The place was clean, comfortable, and had just enough items such as aluminum foil, spices, etc. Bedrooms are big, but we had 2 staying on the couches. 30 minutes to the Table Rock picnic area (that's about as close as you can get), with access to the Ampitheater, Table Rock, etc. The Wifi worked fine for us until the last day, but wasn't a big deal. There is no A/C, but we didn't need it at all on Labor Day weekend.

The location is amazing for anyone wanting to explore Linville Gorge. The house is large, very comfortable and well-equipped, and the outdoor fire pit or porch area could be very pleasant in the evening (we left early and came back late and didn't use either of them). We never saw or heard the tenant. The couch had some dog hair, but hey, it's a pet friendly property. We had our two dogs with us and don't really care about it (they don't go on furniture though), but if someone has terrible allergies that could be uncomfortable. Everything else was impeccably clean. I would definitely stay there again.

Awesome stay!

I’ve never written a negative review, But … First impression when we arrived - front steps had weeds and hadn’t been swept; Front step area hadn’t been swept covered in debris ; walkway between front and back porch deep in weeds; porches out back hadn’t been swept of debris and cobwebs ; outdoor furniture was filthy; Lawn was not recently mowed and was almost mid-high to shins; Firepit area was over-grown with weeds, small trees and stumps. We took time to clean up the porches, furniture and the firepit area so we could sit outside (Not what we should be doing). Good location for day hikes - but very noisy outside with 181 traffic - and from the back deck you can hear conversations of the tenant (owner?) living above garage (even while having coffee at 7 am). I felt bad about leaving my wife to read on the porch while I went fly fishing for 3-4 hrs - so I didn’t go - we just hiked a lot instead. Certainly NOT the peaceful and relaxing get-away we hoped for. Otherwise, it’s a cute place and well cared for inside - and grounds have a lot of potential if given a little TLC. I communicated all of this to the owner, but received no reply, so decided to post this as a favor to other renters. Bottom Line - Recommend finding another place to rent where it’s quiet and most importantly perhaps - an owner that cares enough to prepare for guests (especially when they’re paying 1k for 3 nights).
