Potential, but not quite there yet
This could be a quality place to stay once all work is completed but it’s not there yet. The location is remote, even by mountain standards, situated deep into the valley, but proximity to the Blueridge Parkway is a major plus. Easy drive to devils backbone and various hikes.Unfortunately the cabin is currently a construction site. The walk ways were muddy gravel with gashes from heavy machinery. The porch and balcony were covered in mud and work boot prints that we couldn’t help but track into the house, making it filthy throughout the stay. Despite the cabin being brand new, the furniture was old and sparse, no couch, no lamp, no side tables or coffee tables. Views of and access to the creek are hindered by overgrown weeds and total lack of landscaping to showcase the major attraction on the property. Common areas felt unusable due to tracks of mud left by heavy machinery. There was an open container of insect killer left out on our front porch which I had to keep my kids and pet away from. The locks were non-functioning throughout our stay. The cabin itself is quite small, it works if you just need a place to crash post-hike but don’t expect to spend much time in the place. Once all work is completed I could see it being a decent place to stay, but only at a discount compared to other options in the area.
