Perfect Spot to Relax and Recharge
The home was spotless, comfortable, and set in a peaceful location. The porch views were incredible—we captured some beautiful moments right from there. Michael was very responsive and went above and beyond to make sure our stay was perfect. A great place to slow down, enjoy nature, and truly recharge.

Dream Cabin
We have now visited this amazing place six times now, and for good reason. We all love coming here for the views, the fire pit, the seclusion, the thoughtful touches, and of course, the air hockey. The owner does a phenomenal job of upkeep and upgrades. The cabin itself is our dream cabin (maybe someday!), with the perfect layout, and perfect view. I personally just sit and stare, which is rare for me, but I just want to take it in. The cabin is a short distance to great restaurants & desserts, and of course hiking. We are looking forward to our next visit!

The house and our stay were both amazing! This was such a relaxing place to stay with our two families, both with young children, age 2-4. We got to enjoy the mountain views directly from the main living area as we cooked and relaxed in the main living area. Everything was very clean and the host provided extremely clear information about the home and the surrounding area. Overall excellent weekend!

Amazing home!
We had an awesome time at this house and the host was fantastic. The view is amazing and the home has everything you might need (even smores ingredients!). The outdoor area is great for relaxing and there is plenty of comfortable seating on the inside as well. My friends and I are already discussing having a longer trip to the area so we can stay in this house again! (I will mention that the driveway is so steep it feels like you are going up the hill on a roller coaster, but that only adds to the feeling of being secluded!)

Good view
This property has a nice view of Mt Mitchell. It's spacious enough for a family of 7. We had 4.
Pros:
The view, stocked up kitchen with cooking essentials, plenty of firewood to use, nice TV/game room although the air hockey table is falling apart.
Cons: Not for older people or anyone who have a hard time getting up and down the stairs. Had a water leak/drips from the shower from the top floor. This appears to be a known issues based on the stains. I reported it to the owner. No hot tub (even the amenity sections indicated there was one)
