Rustic AND comfortable :) Nestled in the woods AND close to town. Lovely property with walking trails and scenic spots to enjoy. Within minutes of the Thermal Belt Trail - excellent bike/walk trail. Perfect for couples, nature lovers and small-town enthusiasts.

The house was a little small but it made for great family time since the teenager couldn't hide away in her room. The trails were adorable and our dog had the best time running through them and running in the creek. Would book again if I were in the area.

My husband and I enjoyed our two nights stay in the historic Red Roof Cabin in the woods. The cabin was clean & cozy. It was so relaxing sitting on the wrap around porch during a thunderstorm with our furbaby. We saw deer and turkey on our morning walks as well. We highly recommend. <3

Disconnect Destination

I booked this cabin for a solo trip to disconnect and process. I didnt see a single soul near me even on the beautiful trails right off the cabin steps, it was absolutely perfect! The cabin itself was extremely neat and clean, i needed nothing. I will be rebooking in the future!

Peaceful Interlude

Steve and Laura are wonderful hosts. Steve greeted us at the cabin to be sure we had everything we needed and gave us a short history of their property. It is a beautiful setting and very private. We loved the Glass Chapel. The cabin kitchen is well stocked and the bathroom has a tub! Laura provides such nice touches as toiletries and thick white towels. Even though the highlights are outdoors we loved having wifi and Netflix! Overall this cabin is beautifully decorated and cozy - one we would love to visit again and again. Thank you Laura and Steve!

10/10!!! Easy directions and communication. Beautiful property and grounds, cabin. Had plenty of firewood near the designated fire pit areas, and thoughtful touches. The property was stunning with trails. And the glass chapel and bell tower/chapel were absolutely breathtaking. My family has property in Bostic and we were visiting so was very centrally located. Mountain Brooks Vinyard and Parker Binns are two wineries with gorgeous views are close by, and we are at Babbos Italian kitchen in Forest city just about 20 minutes away. WILL stay here again if available!

The Red Roof Cabin was perfect for a weekend anniversary get away. It was private but close enough to town to enjoy the restaurants in Rutherfordton. The cabin was clean and comfy. The host was very communicative and helpful. We enjoyed our stay very much.
