Overall this property was a comfortable, cozy place to spend a weekend away. The host provided so many thoughtful items for guest use. The wood stove was a nice experience on a damp chilly night. Location was amazing for visiting Cowans Gap State Park.

We had a great time at the cabin, located minutes away from Cowans Gap State Park. Fully furnished and comfortable in a peaceful setting. Not too far 10-20 minutes from town for anything you might need. Great views from the property as well as easy access to hiking trails and a lake. Would recommend this property for families and outdoor enthusiasts!
