Perfect for a Peaceful Getaway

My wife and I went to celebrate our anniversary. We weren’t able to enjoy the exterior with the heavy snow, but the inside was super cozy. We were plenty warm. An easy distance from Crystal Mountain Resort, and not too far from other towns if you are looking for restaurants, gas, groceries, etc. The owners were also super responsive. My wife and I would definitely stay here again.

Perfect getaway

The cabin was easy to find located down a dirt road tucked away into a quiet wooded area. It was absolutely perfect. This was by far the cleanest rental we have ever stayed in, plenty of room for our family of three, great outdoor area with fire pit. Highly recommend.
