The cabin was beautiful. It was nice to have the fire pit plus the outside covered fire place when it rain. I would recommend this cabin to other people.

Great house for family gatherings. Nice game room with pool table and a huge deck that is perfect to hang out on. Will definitely be back to enjoy the fire pit and hot tub when it’s cooler.

The space worked great for 10 people and sunset views were great! There is enough room for more than 4 cars to park there as there are two driveways even though we were told 4 was the max.

We liked the location very much.You need to know that one of the extension cables feeding the couch lamp has a blank spot where the live copper wire shows through (the extension that runs under the rug by the couch.

Thank you for choosing Carpe Diem for your vacation in Blue Ridge. We appreciate you advising us about the extension cord under the sofa, I have forwarded this information to the respective department. We look forward to hosting you again soon.
The view from the cabin is great and the cabin itself is beautiful. The road to get to it is difficult but it’s worth the drive.

Thank you so much for staying with us at Carpe Diem and for sharing this kind review and recommendation! We hope to host all of you again soon!
Unfortunately, my elderly parents could not stay with us because the beds were way to high off the ground and no step stools were provided. The cabin is not accessible and my brother was in a wheelchair.
This was a beautiful property with stunning views. The teens loved the downstairs area with separate sitting area and ping pong (or pool table) and foosball. The hot tub was a hit as well. We would definitely return.

Thank you for staying with us at Carpe Diem. We are so happy you enjoyed a separate place for the teens to hang out! The ping pong and foosball was a big hit I imagine! We look forward to seeing you again in Blue Ridge!
