Great little cabin feel. The exterior is a little rough looking but also rustic. Beautiful wood throughout the inside with most of everything you’ll need while traveling. We definitely were needing a coat closet or hangers somewhere to hang our wedding guest atire and coats, only thing that was missing! Otherwise, a great stay.

We had a wonderful stay! The home was clean, cute, and absolutely perfect for our trip. The host was extremely accommodating and went above and beyond—when we realized we needed an extra night that wasn’t originally open, they made it possible for us to extend our stay. Such kindness and flexibility made our experience even better. Highly recommend this property and host!

It was a great cabin, but the bed situation was a struggle for sure. Two of us who normally sleep on a king and went to a double bed was rough.. but it was close to where we needed to be. The traffic noise was more than we anticipated during the day but it got quiet at night.. we would stay again if there was a bigger bed..

Location too noisy, although convenient to amenities. Toilet in bedroom fell off & tried to contact property mgmt no response so I fixed it. We were charged for cleaning but had to put linens in washer before we left. Unit inside clean so liked that.

Returning Guests - Adventurous Stay
Historic property in the heart of Mountain City. We were returning guests. Resident ground hog was active some nights under the house doing his thing. Work is being performed to rid property of this non-paying tenant. On Saturday, flying ants or termites (unsure which) invaded the main bath, probably due to warmer weather. Owner stated that pest control company would be scheduled for the following week. We found a vacuum cleaner and Hoovered those buggers up.

Mountain City cabin
The cabin was cozy and easily accessible. Be aware that the 1 bedroom has a double bed with a very uncomfortable mattress (bring a memory foam if you have back/joint pain). The twin bed is located in the same bedroom and has a more comfortable mattress but is low to the floor. We loved the history of the cabin and the heating system is excellent! Kitchen and living room are spacious. No toaster.

Clean as a fiddle and in Town
What a lovely place to stay. The unit was very clean with warm heat and good layout. You are above and next to US-421, so there will be traffic noise. We are not use to traffic noise at night, and did not find this location to be an issue. The history of this house is wonderful (read story in guest book), and the location is convenient to all the Mountain City area has to offer. I would not hesitate to book this home in the future.

Property was as described and priced accordingly. You could hear traffic, however location was very convenient to everything we needed. Beds were somewhat uncomfortable.
