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.

Very nice cozy getaway cabin

Everything was super clean, the cabin had a very strong smell of wood which was a cool experience. It was a very nice getaway for a couple. The wraparound porch with the creek was super nice.

Wonderful Getaway

It is a beautiful secluded cabin with access to trails, fire pit, creek, and not far from places like lake lure. We had a wonderful time just hanging out on the porch listening to birds, walking the trails and spending the evening by the fire pit.

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.
