We enjoyed our stay at the cabin. It was clean and had everything we needed for bedding, towels and kitchenware. Good location for the different mountain towns we were visiting. We received a discount for Tweetsie Railroad by booking with this rental company, which was a nice surprise! We enjoyed using the hot tub and fire pit. We would stay here again.

Visit to the Highland Games

My family and I enjoyed our long weekend stay while attending the nearby Grandfather Mountain Highland Games. Though we were out and about most of the time when we were at the cabin the kids greatly enjoyed the foosball table and beanbag chairs in the "hang out" area.
