We were quite busy while we were there, and didn't get to enjoy the trails or check out other things on the property, but the time we did spend at the cabin was great! It was cozy and relaxing and had everything we needed for our stay. If we come back to the area, I would stay here again, and have our family rent the cabin next door. Beautiful area!

The house was a little small but it made for great family time since the teenager couldn't hide away in her room. The trails were adorable and our dog had the best time running through them and running in the creek. Would book again if I were in the area.

Everything was super clean, the cabin had a very strong smell of wood which was a cool experience. It was a very nice getaway for a couple. The wraparound porch with the creek was super nice.

Wonderful Getaway

It is a beautiful secluded cabin with access to trails, fire pit, creek, and not far from places like lake lure. We had a wonderful time just hanging out on the porch listening to birds, walking the trails and spending the evening by the fire pit.
