Peaceful Blue Ridge Mountain Retreat Near Marion, NC

We were blown away right off the bat! This has to be the most incredible cabin I have ever stayed at. The owners were so nice to us and gave us plenty of information before we got there to enjoy the area. We would rent this yearly if it wasn’t so far away from our home. Don’t even hesitate, just rent it. You won’t be disappointed!

Everything was clean and cute and cozy. The games supplied were a nice treat for when it rained. Swimming at the lake was perfect! I appreciated the map to the lake and the waterfall. My only complaint was that I didn’t know it was 1.5 mile hike to the waterfall. We all wore sandals and swimsuits because we were going to splash in the falls and then go to the lake. But it actually was a really nice gravel hike with cute places to sit along the way. Everything was so wonderful for our family vacation! Thank you!

Both private, secluded, peaceful but still plenty of activities we had an excellent time

Loved this place, we will be back. It’s such a pretty, quiet area and you feel like you’re away from the business of life but not far from some really great places. Thank you for the restful space we needed.

Just perfect...from the quiet seclusion of the cabin to the welcoming touches and gracious host. Our stay couldn't have been any better!

We had a great time here, the host was amazing, the place is beautiful. The location couldn't be better; inside you have everything you need to cook, play games, watch tv, or roast marshmallows in the back yard. This place is truly amazing and the location is priceless.

The cabin was easy to access in a gated community. Tucked away with only trees surrounding made for the cozy cabin vibe we hoped for. It was clean and tidy with everything you need clearly labeled for convenience (absolutely love this!). Marie did an excellent job and listing things to do and where to eat in the area. We ate at J. Hartman's (dinner) and Heifer's (breakfast) and highly recommend both. Marion main street is charming with great shops. We recommend stopping into Refinery 13 for a pint! Nearly everything about our stay was great but the beds could use a mattress upgrade for a more comfortable night's sleep. Overall, we would recommend staying at Marie's place if you're looking for a mountain getaway!

This rental was absolutely perfect. It is probably the CLEANEST renal we have EVER stayed at! The kitchen was well-stocked with utensils and even had spices we forgot to bring. We could tell the owners put a lot of thought into this home. There were conversation-starter cards that we did with our kids every night at dinner—and they loved it. There was even a cozy robe, and my kids felt so fancy getting into it after their showers.Just a heads up for winter guests—there’s no central heating system, but the mini-splits in the bedrooms and the gas fireplace kept the house warm and comfortable since it’s a small space.We also loved that it was the only house at the top of the hill, giving us a secluded and private feel. We took a nature walk behind the house and the kids really enjoyed exploring. There were chargers everywhere you’d naturally want to plug in a phone, which was super convenient.The only thing worth noting is that the beds were pretty noisy and very firm. I’m used to softer mattresses, but I know some people prefer firm, so that’s just personal preference. There were plenty of blankets and extra pillows, and the pillows themselves were very comfortable.Overall, we had an amazing stay and would absolutely recommend this home.

Absolutely amazing! Perfect space for Thanksgiving. Fit six people comfortably. Quiet. A huge plus is the fully stocked kitchen. I was worried that cooking an entire Thanksgiving meal would be a challenge due to limited supplies. I was extremely surprised that the kitchen had everything needed from a colander to seasonings that we forgot. There were even blueberries that we used to make a delicious homemade blueberry pie. The owner was extremely nice in her messages. But the best part of this trip was a book that I had been listening to on audible but stopped before finishing it was in the cabin. I began reading it the first night and was inspired to action!! I think this trip was a God Wink! Thank you so much for your incredible hospitality, generosity and inspiration!!

Great family friendly property with plenty of activities. Host was great with communication and hospitality. We will definately be back.

Wonderful stay!! Thos was our second time and everything was comfortable and perfect! Marie always answered our questions, and really went over and above with everything to make sure we had a great stay!

We were here for a wedding. The cabin was perfect for us. Clean, well stocked and roomy! I lived having my tea in the rocker on the fro r porch. Jam was an unexpected treat! Thanks so much!

A Perfect Place to Celebrate and Unwind This was our fifth stay at this incredible property in Nebo, and once again, it exceeded every expectation. We celebrated my 65th birthday here with dear friends, and it was the perfect setting for relaxing, reconnecting, and making lasting memories.The home is always spotless and welcoming, with thoughtful touches that make you feel instantly at ease. We loved starting our mornings with peaceful strolls around the private lake and hiking the secluded trail to the waterfall—such a hidden gem. Evenings were magical, gathered around the backyard fire pit sharing stories and laughter, followed by quiet moments on the front porch rocking chairs under the stars.This place has become a tradition for us, and it continues to be the ideal retreat. Grateful for another unforgettable stay!

Everything was awesome and very clean..

Beautiful place….lovely owner!

Excellent place to stay. Everything was beautiful. We were completely satisfied.

This visit was an opportunity to share with friends one of our favorite places to stay. Each time we arrive it is like a whole new experience. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed into a beautifully serene setting that felt like a world away from the hustle and bustle. The quaint atmosphere, combined with breathtaking surroundings, made for an unforgettable experience, once again!The accommodations are always cozy and thoughtfully designed, offering the perfect balance of rustic charm and modern comfort. Every detail is carefully curated, adding to the overall warmth of the place. Whether enjoying morning coffee on the porch, or taking in the quiet evenings, it felt like time slowed down just for us. The darkness is also very peaceful with no light pollution whatsoever.. nothing like it.One of the highlights was the peaceful setting- ideal for reconnecting with nature and truly unwinding. We always leave feeling refreshed, inspired, and are already planning our next visit. If you're looking for a beautiful escape filled with tranquility and charm, this is the perfect spot!

Very nice cabin in Grandview Peaks. Enjoyed everything.
