We absolutely LOVED everything about the cabin! The location down a windy dirt road, down by the river which was perfect for evening walks with our toddlers, a creek and small waterfall right off the porch (again, perfect for toddler exploration), wood burning stove, comfy king size bed in the loft! Everything was amazing. All of the antique and unique items around the cabin made it feel so warm and cozy because you could tell that every detail was carefully collected and picked to add so much charm and character. We will absolutely be back to this beautiful cabin!

This cabin was so incredibly clean and well maintained. Literally has everything you need for a stay. So much to do around the area and the deer that come through the yard randomly are so beautiful to watch. It will definitely be a place we come back to.

We had a wonderful stay! Very clean and well equipped. If you are looking for a place to stay that is not far from Boone and other towns, yet offers a little more peace and quiet, this is the place for you. The cabin is even more beautiful in person than in pictures. And the host is very friendly and excellent with communication!
Morning view from the loft.
So spacious!
We had no problem getting up here, even in freezing temps (with all wheel drive).
Deer grazing in the front yard.

Beautiful home. I felt like I was staying at my grandma’s house. I would recommend turning on heat on super cold days before guests arrive. While I understand the house is old, it was extremely cold inside and took a long time to warm up (it was 30 degrees outside when we arrived). It was nice to see all the historic items. My fiance feel in love and didn’t want to leave. Hoping for a longer visit next time.

Nice rustic place; zero cell service

Overall, this is a nice rustic cabin, but in a fairly remote location. One major issue is that there is zero cell phone service out there. Neither my wife or I could get a call or text out unless you drove 10 minutes away from the property. That becomes an issue if you need to communicate with family, friends or business and you did not know that going out there - even bigger issue if you have an emergency or you wish to speak with the host about something. Emailed the host on the portal about this as well as a few house suggestions but never heard anything back. Lastly, not exactly as close to the river as you might think from description.

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.
