Home was very clean and well stocked with necessary kitchenware. Bedding and linens were of nice quality and master bed very comfortable. Had no issues with bugs which is a first for a mountain home. Hosts were quick to respond to questions. Be aware that the driveway is very steep. I attached 2 pics. The only negative is that you enter/exit through the ground/basement level instead of the main living floor.

The house could not have been better. It fit our needs. Matt was so helpful and responded to my texts. ( My email account has been hijacked) The view from the north deck is beautiful. Everything one might need was available. The house was spotless. I highly recommend this home.

Perfect cabin getaway!

If you are looking for a cabin on the mountain… this is a perfect place for your family! Everything was clean and we loved the attention to details. Beds were super comfy and cozy. The location was perfect for a trip to Asheville or Morganton. This will definitely be our place to stay again…

Peaceful Cabin with Beautiful Mountain View

We spent a peaceful weekend in this nice cabin. The house is very clean and has everything we need. The bedrooms are spacious and the beds are comfortable. The location is convenient to local stores and restaurants. We enjoy the mountain view and as the other reviewer said, it is even more beautiful than shown in the pictures. Hope we will stay here again in the near future.

Family mountain getaway

We went to do some hiking, the property was in a great location within an hour of all of the places we wanted to go ( Crabtree falls, Chimney Rock, Tom’s falls). Loved the Linville winery. The owners left plenty of toilet paper, trash bags, cleaning supplies, etc. The kitchen was well equipped. All of the bedrooms were very comfortable. Loved the game room and views from the porch!

Privacy, long-range views, spotless house

We were so pleased with the natural light, huge deck, quality furnishings, huge open kitchen/dining room/living room, and fireplace. Convenient location off I-40. We visited the town of Black Mountain and Silk Fork Winery. The homeowner was very kind and responsive.

Awesome stay

We loved the house. Matt was very responsive and helpful even when we forgot something after checking out. It is a beautiful house, clean and a very good, safe location. Walmart and food delivery services deliver which is a big plus. The house had everything we wanted along with lots of board games. I would definitely stay here again as the house had everything that we wanted and more.

Beautiful property

The property was beautiful in a quiet setting. Lots of games and books for children of all age groups. Had a fully stocked kitchen with lots of small appliances, dishes and glasses. It was conveniently located as it was very close to grocery stores - just a few mins away by car. Matt was very prompt in his responses and is an excellent host.

Great Experience!

The cabin was exactly how it was explained and more. The space was open and flowed nicely. Kitchen was large and had all that was needed to make any meal. Matt was very responsive during anytime prior to and during the stay. Access to the cabin and surrounding stores was great. We had a vehicle issue and had rain for two days straight which grounded us for several days. We took advantage of this time to play games which Matt had a lot of in the armoire near the couch. The sectional couch was a great place to have time together for talking, playing games or watching a movie. The views off the balcony were exceptional. We also had some time at the fire pit and enjoyed s’mores multiple times. Will definitely stay here again.

Perfect mix of privacy and convenience

This cabin is just a mile or two off Interstate 40, but when you are in it, you feel like you're on the side of a remote mountain. This means that you have maximum privacy, but don't have to drive an hour to get stocked up on supplies (or anything else you may or may not have forgotten!) The view from the great room is breathtaking at 6:00am as the sun is climbing over the ridge to the East. It is clean, has DirecTV and Wifi, a wrap around porch that has a portion covered so you can watch the rain while rocking in a chair, and furniture built for comfort. Booking was easy. Directions were clear. Easy turn-key getaway with amazing amenities and views. Highly recommended.

December in the NC mountains

We spent five nights just before Christmas and thoroughly enjoyed the property. Beautiful eastern view of sunrise and mountains but much easier access than most other properties that we have visited in the mountains. We were lucky with good weather but wouldn’t have been concerned If had been poor. Road is paved and easily navigable with 4-wheel drive. Spent most of the time in front of the gas fireplace and streaming movies at night. Asheville day trip was easy 40 minute commute. Marion has a cute downtown with a nice coffee shop and ,eatery which we would recommend visiting. Grocery and restaurants reasonable 10-15 minute drive too.there are stairs from the parking area to the first floor as noted in the property description. Kitchen well stocked and beds are comfortable. Couldn’t have asked for anything more

One of the best cabins

We had a great say in Marion. This cabin is so clean, perfectly located and communication with the owner was easy. The cleanliness of this cabin was amazing. Everything felt brand new. The beds were comfortable and it was a bonus to have a king bed in the master suite. There was plenty of room for our family of 4. The cabin is well stocked with anything needed. Plenty of games for our rainy day. The kitchen is well stocked and the washer and dryer were full size and easy to use. The cabin is located in a great place between Asheville and Boone. Easy access to town and the interstate. Check in and out was easy. The owner suggested food places in town and when we arrived the cabin had a notebook full of nearby things to do. We would definitely recommend this cabin to anyone Wanting to stay in this area. Great Vacation. Thank you!!!!

Great location

The location and views from the cabin were beautiful. We enjoyed some great hikes and fun food. We’ve stayed at several different cabins before, and this was the only one that required bringing your own linens. This was also the dirtiest cabin out of all the ones we’ve stayed at. I went to set up my toddler’s bed in a corner of one of the bedrooms, and there was several month’s worth of dust there... I ended up finding a different place for her bed. The kitchen counters had not been wiped down before we arrived, and the shower curtain on the second floor has what appears to be pseudomonas growing on the it. We saw quite a few wasps on the deck, and my husband got stung by one. The ADT alarm beeped loudly every time an exterior door opened, and woke up our toddler. We could not turn it off without the security code. We had to remove a battery on a smoke detector the afternoon that we arrived because it was beeping for low battery even though the cleaning staff had been at the cabin just before our arrival. I took the advice of a previous review and brought extra linens to cover the couches for a more sanitary place to sit... the couches are very worn out and quite uncomfortable. Overall, our trip was great, but we will find somewhere else to stay in the future. Oh, and this is minor, but the shady side of the deck badly needs to be pressure washed!

This cabin is one of my favorites. Very clean and nicely decorated. The couch and primary bedroom's mattress were very comfortable.

A true home away from home

Our family travels to the mountains every year for a getaway. Our past experiences have been good, but this stay was truly the best experience we've ever had. The kitchen was very well stocked, there were plenty of things for us all to do, the beds were incredibly comfortable, and of course the views are indescribable. Part of me doesn't even want to leave a review so I can gatekeep this gem of the mountains. The owners are very helpful and responsive. It's clear they love sharing this opportunity and work hard to make it a wonderful experience. Don't pass this place up (or do, so I can keep it all to myself!)
