Diana was excellent! Very prompt with responses and explanation lls if needed. The home was just like the pictures! Cabinets were labeled and instructions were posted everywhere. I loved that.
The perfect setting for a wonderful Thanksgiving celebration. The kids loved the game room. The adults loved that the kids were happy doing their own thing while we worked on meals! The kitchen was very well equipped and the whole cabin was cozy and comfortable for our crew of 9. The screened porch looked wonderful - we’ll have to come back in warmer weather so we can try it out. Highly recommend this home!
The host here is very accommodating. The cabin is a beautiful and extremely comfortable place with plenty of space for everyone. The beds are all very comfortable. The kitchen has everything you could hope to have for cooking in. We spent a lot of time in the screened porch and enjoyed every aspect of this property. If you are going to Blue Ridge, you should definitely give animal crossing a shot. Awesome place! Awesome host!!!

Tiffany and her family were amazing guests and were so understanding when the ice machine began making an obnoxious sound. I highly recommend Tiffany and would love to have her family visit again.
The property is furnished nicely. The kitchen has you need to cook meals. It was super clean and the owner was gracious enough to let us enter early. She was very responsive to our request. I would definitely stay again and recommend.
This Cabin/house was in an ideal location. Close to towns, and not a mountainous windy drive. Our host was very good communicating with us, and leaving instructions for us. Property was clean, well stocked, including a nice collection of board games and puzzles to enjoy. Perfect weather to enjoy decks. Our annual family gathering was enjoyed by all. Apple picking and a scenic train ride rounded out a very nice, albeit short, weekend.
Siblings are getting older and we wanted to spend time together away from the hustle and bustle. The cabin was perfect and we thoroughly enjoyed our time there
The house worked out wonderfully, The common spaces, including the fire pit and pool table room, were a way for us to visit and 'play'. The kitchen was well stocked and the house was clean.

Thank you Susan. We hope you can get away to the cabin again.
This was a great place for our family gettogther! We really took advantage of the large screened in porch. Very clean and well stocked. The driveway/parking is a little challenging.
The varying spaces and spaciousness was ideal for our leadership retreat. The beautiful setting and music from the birds provided a perfect environment to rest, relax, and think.

Lawrence and his staff were the perfect guests. We were honored they chose our cabin for their retreat. We would love to host them again.
Four generations of my family very comfortably enjoyed this perfect property! The cabin was extremely clean, had everything we could possibly need, and I would highly recommend. The communication with the owner was impeccable. Thank you Diana!
Cabin does not begin to describe this home. Everyone in our family was amazed with the accommodations, cleanliness and amenities. The rooms were large, the kitchen was beautiful and well appointed and the large screen porch was a comfortable relaxing place for the family to be together. I would not hesitate to stay there again. Ten Stars!!!
The house was absolutely beautiful, everything was comfortable. They had a very cooking friendly kitchen so we had everything we needed to cook meals. Beds were comfortable. I absolutely loved the screened in porch and the front porch since it rained most of the time we were there it was nice to still be able to sit outside without getting wet. 10/10 recommend.
This house was perfect for our annual girls weekend! Plenty of space for 6 ladies to relax and spend time together in the mountains. The house accommodated all our needs. It was easy to get to and the proximity to downtown Blue Ridge was very convenient. Thank you Diana for answering our questions quickly and being so accommodating. We hope to come back again.

What a great place!
My family spent a weekend in this wonderful cabin. We had family members from 5 to 85 and it was a wonderful place for each of us! Very well equipped with everything we need to cook meals and plenty of games to play. Our grandson has us a project to do on the screen porch and we built fires in the fire pit both nights. The beds were really comfortable too, so we got well rested. We truly enjoyed our time there!
