Recent Western North Carolina guest reviews

The best part of this cabin to me was the covered porch with the swing and the windchime. I could have stayed there all day. The entire cabin was comfortable, spacious and, most of all, remote. We could not tell there was anyone else in the world while we were there. It was quiet and quaint. I hope the next time we come, it won't be too late to see some changing leaves. That must be beautiful. It met all of our needs and was stocked with the essentials. We had a cold snap the weekend we were there, but they had plenty of blankets and we didn't even notice it. I would definitely book this cabin again. In fact, I hope to do it next year.

Great location, quiet, safe, spotless, comfortable furniture, beautiful interior, really nice split floor plan.
Stephen C. | Dec 2025
It was basic but had everything we needed. Traffic noise was loud but calmed down during sleeping hours and we played a sound machine to drown it out. Great location close to town but far enough out to be away from the hustle and bustle. Enjoyed our 3 night stay.
