Higher Ground - Hot Tub, Pool Table, WIFI, Covered Porch, Game room, Log Cabin

Nice quiet place in the mountains

We stayed at this cabin the weekend of Nov. 8th, 2024. This cabin was nicer than expected. The hot tub was a great size and we had a great time playing pool. We really enjoyed the rocking chairs, especially while having coffee in the morning sun. It had everything you would need for a weekend get away. This was perfect for us!

We just finished our stay at this property. Even though we did have a good trip, I’m not sure that we would stay at this location again, especially for the price that we paid. This property could use a good cleaning, as there was a lot of dust, spider webs, mold, etc. We washed every dish we used, as they were not clean. The price that was asked was reflective of a property in pristine condition. This was not that property. It is very evident that the property only has guests occasionally, as some of the upkeep would be taken care of if someone was there more frequently. Also, a lot of the “knickknacks” that were around took away from space that we needed for our things (ex. dresser top couldn’t be used as it was covered). Additionally, it would have been nice to have a fire pit to enjoy the picnic tables that were there, and offered another option to using the grill. Some of the major issues we encountered were the mold covered hot tub cover, dust covered fan and other objects, cracked oven top, broken door blind (which offered no privacy), disgusting grill, active wasp nests in outside lights. Needless to say, this property could use some attention before other guests arrives.

We had the best mini-vacation in West Jefferson. Higher Ground had everything we needed and wanted. We had plenty of space & we loved sitting on the porches with coffee and/or wine! The VRBO description was totally accurate.

We had a very good stay at this facility. For the price, it was a very good deal. The place is a little smaller than the pictures seem to show (wide angle lenses), but it was big enough for the 5 of us. Some improvements to the lighting in the kitchen are recommended. The owners were very nice and handled everything well. The settling was very pretty and quiet.

We had an amazing time here! We did lots of hiking and visited waterfalls! We visited Luther Rock and much more! Kids had an amazing time they loved this cabin! They even learned a little about playing pool!!! Thank you for this amazing home to stay in for our vacation in the Mountians!

My sons and I stayed to spend some time together and go to the races. We had a great time spending time together and relaxing during our stay. The landscape was beautiful and weather great!

This was a great property. The entrance is definitely not for your average small car. The host was great and I would definitely recommend to anyone.

My family and I drove in from Wrightsville Beach on a Thursday. The cabin was clean, quiet, and peaceful. We spent Friday at ski beech, and went hiking, and visited some waterfalls on Saturday. The hot tub was a hit with the kids. I would have liked a smart TV so we could watch Netflix while relaxing at night, but I’m still giving an overall rating of a five. It was quiet, and no one bothered us. It is a good ways away from things but you know that going into it. If you’re looking for somewhere quiet with a hot tub, this should do the trick.

We were very pleased with the cabin. The location was quiet with views of the foothills. The drive to Boone and East Jefferson was about the same distance. It was clean and stocked well with towels and such
