Wonderful stay

It was clear from the first that a lot of thought had had gone into the siting, planning and building of the house. It is a great location—quiet, serene even. The house is well appointed. Very comfortable. It’s even a treat getting there—being able to see some of the beautiful parts of Western North Carolina. The 15 minute trip up to Max Patch is a bonus.

Our family of five thoroughly enjoyed our stay. So peaceful!! We loved the rain on the metal roof and all the frogs/toads chatting to each other at night. The fire-pit was great to relax at each evening and our three kids loved paddling the boat around the pond … it provided hours of entertainment. They enjoyed swimming, even with it being pretty cool weather and water! Wi-fi was super reliable and fast.Our boys want to make this an annual June trip!

The cabin is strategically situated to maximize your appreciation of the natural wonders around. Large windows and a spacious deck provide panoramic views of lush forests, rolling hills, and, depending on the season, a tapestry of vibrant foliage or a blanket of pristine snow.

Peaceful & Pristins

Perfect directions, easy access to Max Patch and our favorite places in Hot Springs. The cabin is beautiful, caters to those of us who need to disconnect and reconnect. We enjoyed snow upon our arrival and warm temps as the week moved along. My husband and I had a blast playing cards, games, and listening to music while dancing in the kitchen. You’ve thought of everything. Thank you!

Lovely condo hidden by Max Patch

We stayed in fall of 2021 as the leaves were changing. This is a beautiful, remote location to escape from the bustles of work and the internet. We enjoyed the forced disconnection and truly felt relaxed on the property. Because there is no internet, I recommended downloading a map of the area prior to coming like we did. Note that the winding mountain roads may be tough on some cars. I would recommend an AWD or 4x4 vehicle for this time of year. I estimate 4x4 may be necessary once snow begins to fall. Things that could have improved our stay include different beds as we both slept poorly while here, blinds for the windows, more kindling and dry wood indoors for the fire as the wood outside was wet, and a map of the area with suggested restaurants/things to do. Overall we really enjoyed the cabin, it's close proximity to Asheville, and the beautiful environment surrounding us. We recommend!

Perfect Mountain Getaway

I've wanted to go to Max Patch and we were looking for somewhere in the mountains to go to for fall break, so I was thrilled when I found this cabin. The cabin is immaculately clean, the property is beautiful, and there's great hiking close by. The views from the summit at Max Patch were even more amazing than I thought. Definitely don't miss out on that short hike if you stay here!

A truly beautiful getaway

We enjoyed unplugging in this beautifully constructed cabin. It was private and quiet, really clean, and a well thought-out space. Max Patch is just 4 miles up the mountain and the views along the drive to the cabin are spectacular. It’s a star-gazers dream. We will definitely be back!

Off the Beaten Path

This cabin was a very clean and well cared for property. We took full advantage of all it's amenities including the pond for fishing, fire pit for s'mores and all three of the beds. While this cabin was off the beaten path we still enjoyed our stay. We would probably choose a cabin that wasn't quite so out of the way but if you are looking for seclusion this is your place! We are very thankful for the family memories made on our trip.

A Trip From Society

As soon as we arrived from our trek up the mountain, we were instantly in love with this gorgeous, secluded property. From the cozy fire pit outside with crickets chirping, to the clean and spacious interior of the cabin, I must say that we were very sad to have to go back home once our time was up. The property owner is very friendly and helpful with anything you need. 11/10 recommend.
