Beautiful Stay

The sunsets are the icing on the cake of this home. The kitchen is immaculately equipped for pretty much any meal you want to make, the beds and linens are comfortable, it’s clean and welcoming, quiet, and in a great location with so much privacy and so many birds to hear. Be advised the bunk room is an alcove “open to” the downstairs living (there is no door or curtain.)

Stunning cabin close to Boone!

My friends and I had a wonderful stay at the cabin. It was sparkling clean, high ceilings, gorgeous wood, awesome patio, and amazing location. You are right in the woods, close to hikes, but only ~15 minutes from Boone. I'm already looking for an excuse to come back!
