Beautiful house with gorgeous views and peaceful setting

My family and I really enjoyed our stay here. The view from the deck is beautiful and there is plenty of room to spread out and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. We took full advantage of the outdoor amenities--lounging in the hammock on the deck, eating meals at the outdoor tables, and making s'mores around the fire (the solo stove is nice perk). The Shortoff Mountain trail is only a 10 minute walk from the house and provides spectacular views of Lake James and the Linville Gorge. The babbling creek on the property was another treat that we all enjoyed. We didn't get a chance to kayak or paddleboard, but the lake is a very short drive from the house and has nice trails for walking or biking.Brian and Katherine are by far the best hosts we've had out of all the properties we've stayed in over many years. They were very responsive every time I had a question, and it was clear that they cared about making sure we were comfortable and having a good time. We would be enthusiastic about staying here again.

Beautiful and spacious, lots to do

This is a beautiful place! We stayed at here 5 nights with a group of extended family ranging in age from 1 to 79 and everyone had a great time. The accommodations were top notch. Every bedroom was comfortable and large with wonderful private baths (nice soaking tubs!). The wrap around porch was perfect for the kids to run around on endlessly, which they loved. The kitchen was really well stocked (much better than most vacation rentals we've stayed in before). We made use of the fire pit and the kayaks. We did the hike to Shortoff direct from the house and went down to Lake James a few times. The gravel road was longer than we expected. It was perfectly fine to drive in a regular car, but getting in and out for activities or supplies took some time everyday. Our only wish would have been to have an outdoor table for eating out on the deck because we loved the mountain views and fresh air so much.

Perfect destination in the mountains

We were so impressed about the cabin. Everything was so new, clean, little surprise for kids ;-) We have rented so many property for the last 7 years and this was the number one. Katherine and Brian were so helpful, and thoughtful all the time. We will definitely come back to stay again. I need to mention one thing; since the cabin was built recently there were plenty of stink bugs which wasn't a big deal for us.
