It was a rough start but it was an incredible experience. We enjoyed every minute. Mornings on the back porch were so soothing and you never want to leave. The “boys” big and small loved the fishing. It was a wonderful experience. The hostess was very kind and always helpful.

Beautiful views and beautiful cabin!

Spent a great week here for Spring break. Great location. Our favorite bed was the hanging bed on the porch. Very soothing sounds of nearby water. Very big open kitchen with plenty of space to cook. Book this place you won't regret it!

Great Rustic Home for a Mid-Size Group Getaway

My group of 10 adults found the property to be clean, well-kept and accommodating for our group's size. In particular, the cooking equipment and dining area helped to facilitate a wonderful steak dinner. We had a wonderful time, and if your group is looking for an affordable, calm weekend, this is a great place to stay!

Fun quiet getaway with friends

We had a fantastic girls trip here! The cabin was very clean and had everything we could need inside. The kitchen was perfect for cooking for everyone, and the back porch was a wonderful spot to drink coffee in the mornings. The gravel road was a little hard to get up with small cars, but we made it work. Would definitely recommend for a weekend away with a larger group!

Great getaway for a holiday

We spent a cozy family Christmas at this spacious cabin outside of Asheville/Mars Hill. The cabin was easy to find, the hot tub was a favorite of the family, internet worked just fine for a cabin, and we had an enjoyable week- long stay.Only issues with the space were that the place needs a good cleaning, which might have been still delayed due to regional hurricane clean up. We also might recommend a set of instructions for how best to use their specific fireplaces as we are admitted novices and couldn’t figure it out despite the assistance of how-to videos so didn’t get to enjoy that part of the stay.Overall a nice place where our family enjoyed a memorable holiday.

A great family cabin get away

The cabin was great place for our family to get together along with our dogs. The cabin is very well stocked with pots and pans and the necessities to cook about any meal. The open kitchen-living area was a favorite where everyone could be together in a big open space with views from the windows. The hot tub was great. The outside decks were great to relax on and to look out across the ponds and the woods behind the cabin. Would definitely rent this place again for our family get together.

Winter Vacation 2022

The cabin excited our expectations. It was everything we were looking for. The drive up to the cabin is a little steep but once you make it to the cabin it’s all worth it. We had our dream winter vacation with a white snowed cabin. Our party was able to make snowman’s and have snow fights towards the back of the cabin. Thank you for this amazing stay.

Fantastic spot for our family vacation

This cabin was a fantastic spot for our family of eleven to stay for our first vacation with all our children, their partners, and our grandchildren. The cabin is gorgeous, unique, and filled with beautiful details. The large kitchen and living room were gathering places for deep discussions, games, meals, and fun. There was also enough space for everyone to have privacy. We watched the stars at night, cooked meals together, and reconnected in deep ways. We were close enough to drive to incredible hiking, rafting, and sites in Ashville. We had an unforgettable time as a family.

Awesome spot

Beautiful cabin. Neighbors weren't super close so you did have some fun. The hike up the road was always fun. Host was responsive and kind. One thing that is out of their control that was a bit of a headache was the trash. Wish there was a large bin we could put it in. Trash on sunday was also a bit of a headache. Overall, great and incredible property, maintained, and unique!

Perfect bachelorette retreat

We had the best time at the cabin! It's much larger in person and the pictures don't give the area justice. There is a small pond stocked with koi and other fish a few steps away from the property. The AC wasn't working upstairs but the owner let us know ahead of time and installed window units prior to our arrival. They worked just fine. To get to some of the bedrooms, you have to walk through the garage but once there, it's cozy. Would highly recommend staying here!
