I rated this cabin four stars due to the lack of air conditioning, which was mentioned in its rustic description. However, I genuinely enjoyed my stay. The cabin is lovely and located in a great area near attractions and restaurants. It's worth noting that this cabin may be more suitable for visits in the fall and winter when it is cooler. I plan to return during that time in the future.

Very Disappointed

We were so excited about staying here. We walked into the cabin and were overwhelmed with the strongest perfumy smell. My wife could not breathe as she is sensitive to smells due to a lung condition. And it was very hard for me to stand too. Several plug-ins were the culprit. We tried to aired things out but ended up not being able to stay. The owner would not give us a refund. Customer Service was very disappointing. We could not have known my wife would have a breathing reaction to the smell. That's no one's fault, but good customer service would have given us a refund. If you stay here, I hope you have NO issues because the owner is not likely to be very helpful.

Quaint Cabin in the Woods

The cabin was rustic, but with all the modern conveniences. Kitchen was nicely stocked with everything you could need. We especially enjoyed watching the deer in our yard, and the raccoons on the roof at night! A very charming, cozy cabin. We will definitely be returning.

Great Weekend Getaway

This was a great place to stay to get away for a couple of nights. The atmosphere was excellent, and had everything a couple could need. The property is down a winding mountain road that keeps you away from busy roads. There was little cell service, but the wifi makes up for it. Be careful of spinning your tires as you exit the gravel drive. I plan to stay again in the future!

Cute and Cozy

Tucked away back on a dirt road, very quiet and secluded. Updated interior with an instant water heater and the window above the bed with the creek running in the back was awesome. We absolutely enjoyed every minute of our stay at this cabin.

APP Homecoming

Precious cabin, secluded, clean and cozy! Totally enjoyed our stay. It took us less than 20 mins to get to Boone. Perfect place to stay for a football game. No traffic coming out of Boone in this direction! Easy to get to Banner Elk. The only thing I can say negative is there was no outlet in the bathroom - unless I just totally missed it. There really were not many outlets at all. Not a big deal at all for us The lighting in the bathroom was a little dim for putting on makeup. But we would definitely stay here again!

The only glitch with the property was that we did not receive the door code prior to our arrival. When we got to the cabin there was no wi-fi service outside the cabin so I could viiew the code. If a window was not unlocked for me to climb through, we would have had no choice, but to try and find some where else to stay. Other than this, we loved the cabin and location so much we should have booked another night! Thanks

A quiet weekend away

Beautiful cabin with a nice view and tranquil nature sounds. Pictures don’t do the cabin justice! It wasn’t as close to the river as I thought but still a 5-star stay! Probably best since water brings bugs and for the first time all summer I could sit on the porch and watch the fawns play without getting eaten by mosquitos. Excellent amenities, clean, very comfortable, loved the stone shower, and the stain glass windows throughout the cabin were beautiful. My only request for this property is a shade for the window above the bed….I aimed to sleep in and this window made that a bit tricky. Wi-Fi worked great, and essential since there was no cell service at the cabin. Coffee bar was an excellent touch! Close enough to Boone to drive-in for dinner - The Game Keeper was absolutely an incredible culinary experience, and for amazing sushi I highly recommend CoBo. It was a 5 star weekend all around, and I’d definitely visit this cabin again. Thanks for sharing your little slice of heaven!

Perfect for relaxant

The pictures don't do this property justice. The property is very well maintained and the cabin is near perfect for a mountain retreat. HOT water on demand thanks to propane. This cabin has a cozy atmosphere along with modern amenities. Close to any activity one would wish to partake in. The grounds are well kept and there is a view of the river. Nature surrounds the property along with the sound of the river. Some wildlife was spotted during our stay, which we enjoyed. The driveway is pretty tight for a larger truck but a suv shouldn't have any issues. One part of the river view is obstructed, but it is very minor considering how well kept the property is. Owners are extremely nice and welcoming! We're already planning another stay here as we enjoyed it so much.

Lovely cabin in a great location! Rustic but updated inside and very comfortable. Great view of the river from the porch. Quiet and peaceful with almost no traffic. Kitchen is well equipped.

Great Getaway!

Most beautiful landscape. Pictures do not really convey how pretty this property is. Wonderful cabin with great decor and everything you would ever need in a kitchen. We had a great time just sitting on the porch listening to the water running in the creek right beside the house. Exceptionally clean. Just perfect for the two of us!
