The perfect setting for a wonderful Thanksgiving celebration. The kids loved the game room. The adults loved that the kids were happy doing their own thing while we worked on meals! The kitchen was very well equipped and the whole cabin was cozy and comfortable for our crew of 9. The screened porch looked wonderful - we’ll have to come back in warmer weather so we can try it out. Highly recommend this home!
The host here is very accommodating. The cabin is a beautiful and extremely comfortable place with plenty of space for everyone. The beds are all very comfortable. The kitchen has everything you could hope to have for cooking in. We spent a lot of time in the screened porch and enjoyed every aspect of this property. If you are going to Blue Ridge, you should definitely give animal crossing a shot. Awesome place! Awesome host!!!
Our stay was amazing. Beautiful home and host is amazing very responsive. Couldn’t have asked for more on this Easter Weekend Family Holiday. P.S you don’t need to bring your family games they have plenty.
The house worked out wonderfully, The common spaces, including the fire pit and pool table room, were a way for us to visit and 'play'. The kitchen was well stocked and the house was clean.
This was a great place for our family gettogther! We really took advantage of the large screened in porch. Very clean and well stocked. The driveway/parking is a little challenging.
Four generations of my family very comfortably enjoyed this perfect property! The cabin was extremely clean, had everything we could possibly need, and I would highly recommend. The communication with the owner was impeccable. Thank you Diana!
Cabin does not begin to describe this home. Everyone in our family was amazed with the accommodations, cleanliness and amenities. The rooms were large, the kitchen was beautiful and well appointed and the large screen porch was a comfortable relaxing place for the family to be together. I would not hesitate to stay there again. Ten Stars!!!
The house was absolutely beautiful, everything was comfortable. They had a very cooking friendly kitchen so we had everything we needed to cook meals. Beds were comfortable. I absolutely loved the screened in porch and the front porch since it rained most of the time we were there it was nice to still be able to sit outside without getting wet. 10/10 recommend.
We stayed at Animal Crossings for a week over Christmas with our grown children, their partners and children as well as my mother-in-law. The cabin had the perfect blend of proximity to shops and restaurants but still feeling like you are alone in the woods when at the property. The layout of the cabin was wonderful for the range of ages. The kids could all play downstairs while the adults sipped drinks by the fire and talked. The kitchen was well appointed and even had a waffle iron transforming our traditional Christmas morning chocolate chip pancakes into waffle indulgence! Loved everything about this place, if you have a group this locations ticks all the boxes!
Pictures don’t do justice to the place .
It is much prettier than the pictures .
Very clean.
Gives the feeling of being isolated on a hill top and yet close to all amenities and Mercier orchards .
Only suggestion that I could possibly make maybe is a larger TV for the living area .
Host Diana super helpful and accommodating and very punctual in communicating .
Awesome stay to accommodate 4 couples with privacy and their own bathrooms.
Our children had been talking about a group vacation for several years. We choose this cabin and thanksgiving.
Wow! - what a blast we had. Though we all live within 20 miles of each other and regularly have group cook-outs, etc., spending a week together at a beautiful cabin was a blast.
I have rented many cabins, beach houses, etc and this was absolutely the best. Very clean. Well maintained. Well furnished. Convenient to a lot of sights and shopping. The layout with ensuite baths was an absolute plus when you have 4 sets of adults and children. We will definately come back.
The facility is great for a large family. Very clean and well provisioned including kitchen utensils and nice gas grill.
Sleeping is on two levels with bunk beds on the lower level for the younger folks. Nice game area also downstairs area.
Steep, gravel driveway and limited parking (four vehicles), but this is typical of all mountain cabins. Nice fire pit.
Close to entertainment and shopping but far enough away to provide an isolated, quiet, private atmosphere.. Loved our visit at Animal Crossing and will definitely keep it in mind for our next mountain getaway.
Excellent communication from Diane, from beginning to end. We had a couple hiccups and they were handled promptly. The home was what every cabin should look like, woodsy feel but well lit and clean. Kitchen was well equipped. I will emphasize that the gravel driveway is very steep (might be difficult for some cars) and very limited in number. I would recommend a 4x4 vehicle. The home’s screened in back porch was a welcomed addition as it provided a bug free location for the kids to eat and play. Blue Ridge and McCaysville was only a short distance with quaint downtown shops and eateries. There isn’t much of a yard for kids to play as the home is on a mini mountain, so we spent a day at Horseshoe Bend Park, (approx 15 mins from rental home) which was perfect with shade, playgrounds, picnic areas, bathrooms, fishing and river for tubing or kayaking. We had a wonderful family reunion, full of amazing memories!
Diana was excellent! Very prompt with responses and explanation lls if needed. The home was just like the pictures! Cabinets were labeled and instructions were posted everywhere. I loved that.
The property is furnished nicely. The kitchen has you need to cook meals. It was super clean and the owner was gracious enough to let us enter early. She was very responsive to our request. I would definitely stay again and recommend.
This Cabin/house was in an ideal location. Close to towns, and not a mountainous windy drive. Our host was very good communicating with us, and leaving instructions for us. Property was clean, well stocked, including a nice collection of board games and puzzles to enjoy. Perfect weather to enjoy decks. Our annual family gathering was enjoyed by all. Apple picking and a scenic train ride rounded out a very nice, albeit short, weekend.
Siblings are getting older and we wanted to spend time together away from the hustle and bustle. The cabin was perfect and we thoroughly enjoyed our time there
