Charming Cabin + Hot Tub ~ Lake James & Linville Gorge ~ Pet-Friendly + Wi-Fi!

Charming Cabin + Hot Tub ~ Lake James & Linville Gorge ~ Pet-Friendly + Wi-Fi!

10/10 Excellent
"The house was perfect for our bi-annual Olympics watch party!The accommodations were clean and inviting with new finishes, appliances, and a comfortable queen bed. Wrap around porch was helpful for getting little dog feet cleaned up too since it rained all day the Sunday we were there.Communication with the host beforehand was excellent and helpful as well.The house is not as far off the road as it seemed in the photos, but the limited traffic was never a concern, loud, or bothersome in the least.Would definitely stay again!"
