Cozy, Peaceful Cabin
Had a great time staying here the space is just big enough to be comfortable while the outside is a very enjoyable area to hang out and relax. It's also conveniently located to Boone and there lots of things to do within a short drive

Tiny house
Well kept space. But small spaces should be optimized for practically, not decor. There was no way to hang clothing and the loft bed was positioned so one had to climb over the other to get out, which was not an easy feat with a 2ft ceiling clearance. A sleeper sofa would be a good addition.
