Peaceful Retreat with Stunning Views

Isolated and spacious, this cabin had everything we needed. The communication was awesome, and checking in/out was a breeze. It was so quiet and tranquil. Surrounded by trees and nature, with a great view of the mountains.

Most wonderful week ever - everything was just great. 1st couple days sun was out over the mountain range- then low lying clouds but still a wonderful view - well worth every penny.

My husband and I LOVED this place! It was quiet, fairly secluded, and just what we like. Although it was not a huge problem, be aware that the road to the cabin may not be great for your average car and the stairs are not easily navigated if you have any ambulatory issues.

On top of the mountain

Great cabin. Location at top of mountain. Be sure and have a vehicle which can climb the roads. Read description of property-can not get to on crutches or in wheel chair!! Great view. We enjoyed - had a problem which was not ours or owners and owner stayed on top of it and in communication with us.

Out of the Blue Cabin

This is a well stocked cabin with a beautiful view. It is very quiet. Parking is very limited and the walkway leading up to the cabin needs work. But the cabin has good room, good kitchen, all appliances work well, good wi-fi and good TV. Elderly or handicapped people might find the walkway a challenge.

Out of the Blue was Right on Point

The wife and I celebrated our 35th anniversary at this nice quiet cabin and absolutely loved it. It is convenient to West Jefferson, our favorite little town and it has all you could ask for. I did put 4 stars for the accuracy of the listing, simply because of the driveway up to the cabin. I drove my truck, as I normally do on these trips but seldom do I need to put it in 4WD but I did on this trip in order to turn the truck around to park at the house. It was not an issue for us but just know it is a little steep and the loose gravel makes it a bit difficult to turn around or back up at the top. Overall, loved it and hopefully will be back.

Great view!

My friends and I enjoyed a must needed girls weekend. We had an absolute great time. We loved the quiet and peaceful feeling of the house and the view is to die for! The house is decorated very well and the kitchen is really nice. I would say the cleaning could be better, especially during these times it is more important to highly clean surfaces for everyone's safety. Also, the steps leading up to the house are a bit rough so please be careful going up and down. Anyone with any trouble walking would need to use extreme caution! It could use some new stepping stones. Overall, it was a great experience and we would definitely visit again! The town is super cute and the drive is not bad at all!

A Bug's PUBLIC Life

Husband & I had to be prescribed steroids for the FLEA bites. What's more, there are no blinds in the children's room. There are no blinds for the living room & dining area, which is creepy b.c there is a camera on the deck that's aimed for viewing inside the cabin in the mentioned living room & dining area. LOVED the view & the quiet neighborhood, but the lack/invasion of privacy coupled with fleas is a no-go. It's really too bad for us b.c the view is to die for.

Hi Ruby, so sorry to hear you had flea bites after your visit to the mountains. We haven’t had any other guests complain of issues with fleas or bugs, and we have stayed recently without issue. We don’t allow pets at our cabin and we do have pest control, however, our cabin is in the middle of the woods, so bugs can be found at times. Our pictures are accurate and reflect that we do not have blinds in the 2nd bedroom or the living room. We enjoy the natural light and views. Our exterior security cameras are only active when the property is empty.

We loved staying here! There was a gorgeous view out the front, and the house itself was cute and cozy and well taken care of. You definitely want a car with 4WD/AWD for the driveway and the roads up to the house because some parts are bumpy and steep. It was raining most of the time we were there, so we really enjoyed the fireplace in the living room.

Fantastic getaway for a long weekend

My hubby and I very much enjoyed our long weekend at the cabin! It was late April and we were not expecting a cold spell but you never know when you visit the mountains. It was indeed chilly. It took a while the first day for the cabin to warm up but once it did, it was perfect. My hubby loved the little wall heaters in the bathrooms because you could get it nice and warm in there before showering. Speaking of the bathrooms...they have the best water pressure (in the shower) ever! Everything was well stocked in case you forgot anything and the cabin was super clean. We were able to utilize the fire pit and the fireplace on the one night it rained. I have a Subaru so the roads in the neighborhood were no issue for me. I could see it being a little tricky during bad weather but again, they were no problem for me. The cabin is close to West Jefferson and convenient to groceries and restaurants. Sunrises, sunsets, wildlife (lots of deer that we could see from the porch), waterfalls...check, check, check and check. I would totally recommend this pace in a heartbeat!

Beautiful Stay for a 21st Birthday Celebration!!

When they warn in the listing for us all to have a 4WD, definitely follow that advice!! The rain made the dirt roads muddy. We got stuck several times going up the steep hills. The walkways were uneven, very icy and dangerous to walk on, so beware. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and one that we will be talking about forever!! It was the kind of adventure that my just turned 21 year old daughter was looking for! She’s an aspiring writer and I’m sure that one day she will have this story written. It is a very cozy cabin in the woods and we felt at home there. It was a great fit for the 6 of us to enjoy some safe at home drinking, games, and fun!! We would definitely like to return, but in a less wet and more dry season, Lol

Christmas Wish Come True

After the icy start, we had a wonderful time. My wife’s wish for Christmas was to be able to see and experience snow. The icy start was ice on the road going in and even my 4-wheel drive doesn’t work to well on ice. The house was very nice and the sunrises were spectacular. Had two to three inches of snow when we got up on Wednesday morning and it was white as far as the eye could see. Beautiful! The fire in the fireplace was great. I could see us going back in either the spring or fall in the future.
