Awesome Location and Beautiful Cabin

My husband and I were so thrilled with the cabin. It was so clean. Furnishings were very comfortable and clean. The outdoor patio overlooking the mountains, listening to the wildlife and watching the white squirrels run around, it truly was relaxing. Highly recommend this cabin.

The perfect getaway!

The property was in a nice quiet area, while still having access to all necessary places. We did a ton of things around Horseshoe/Asheville area. Easy to get around. The house was nice and clean and stocked with everything needed to feel comfortable. I love that they provide almost all necessary items, kitchen is fully stocked, and backups to everything (pillows, blankets, trash bags, detergent, etc). The view of the mountains was always a nice perk when we looked out the window. Plenty of space for our family. We had such a pleasant experience, we would definitely stay again!
