    We appreciated the entire experience of our stay. While we liked the whole space, the master bedroom especially was a cozy retreat for us in the midst of trying times. The host was very accommodating and generous. We look forward to returning.

    This had to be one of my most favorite family trips with the kids. The layout of the cabin was perfect for us and everyone had a space to relax. The deck views and the fire pit were a huge bonus. Kelly was a great host. She answered all of our questions ahead of time and even helped answer a few questions about things to do in the area. The location of this cabin was close to the New River for our tubing adventure , tweetsie with the kids, and within walking distance of all the downtown shops and restaurants! Our favorite evening tradition was walking a short distance to the park , the kids loved it ! We highly recommend this cabin !!

    Very nice, clean and comfortable home. We're building a vacation house in Jefferson but will continue to stay here during the process. Very nice place and plenty of room for large families. The host is awesome as well.

    If you're looking for a rental in West Jefferson area, this is a good one. For our 4 people (one night expanded to 6 with 2 young teens sharing the bunk bedroom downstairs), the unit was big and comfortable, lots of wood and nicely appointed. There was a comfortable deck, a patio for grilling out back, 2 rocking chairs out front and a 7-minute walk to the center of town (to be fair, with a moderately steep hill coming back). While she wasn't there, Kelly the owner communicated with us several times and had left everything we needed and more (including supplies to make a few s'mores). The one night our grandkids stayed over, they loved the MortalKombat arcade game and large Foosball tables downstairs. All in all, we thoroughoy enjoyed.
