No damage from Hurricane Helene! Candee Mountain Retreat is located on a remote 60+ acre property with views, hiking and serenity. We are 7 miles out of town in an ideal setting for a romantic vacation of hiking, hot tub relaxing, campfires and solitude. A truly special combination of comfort and modern outfitting in a relaxing setting after a day out in nature. We think you will enjoy the views and the stars at night in a location without light pollution where the Milky Way can be seen in all its glory.

After the first day of my first visit, I extended my stay another 3 days. Sitting in the hot tub, listening to the birds and woodpeckers off in the distance. This place is 100% for relaxation. Highly recommended.
This cabin was just as pictured. Very private and beautiful view. We saw turkeys and deer daily. We enjoyed walking to the river a couple of times a day. The hot tub and view were amazing. The owners are very attentive and helpful. We would not hesitate to come back and hope to be able to return soon!
This cabin is perfect. We loved everything about it! It looks charming on the outside and everything inside was amazing, too! The hot tub is so nice! We enjoyed this place so much and can’t wait to come back!
Kevin is a wonderful host! He is so responsive and helpful with places to go in the area and recommendations. The property was adorable and very clean with all necessary amenities, would definitely love to come back and see it in a different season!
Beautiful cabin nestled in the mountains. We especially loved the beautiful view and spending time in the hot tub. Kevin was great, very quick and responsive. We will be staying again soon!
We LOVED or visit! Everything was just as described and communication with the host was amazing! Not only is the home beautiful but the views are outstanding! You can tell that Kevin and his family have really put a lot of love into the home. They made suggestions for activities and also places to eat and shop. We will definitely be back soon!

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location
Disliked: Communication, listing accuracy
Washer is really old & worn out. It cleans but not really well. Has an old/musty/mildew smell. Table leg is broken on kitchen table and kept falling off while sitting at the table. Food on the table/the whole table collapsed. Curtain rod in the third bedroom falls off easily and maintenance had to come hang it back up. Sink Knobs in master bathroom do not work properly. No bathroom lights above sink, makes it dark in the bathroom. Place is really clean and roomy! Walk in closets are huge! Had to contact Evolve (management company) all day to get the pool key. You need this key for access to the pool and gym. We had to wait 24hrs to even receive this key and have access to the pool. It was not there when we arrived. There is no longer a playground for littles. That has been removed and they need to update pictures on here. It’s a gated community so we felt really safe! Kitchen wise- very basic needs. No blender. Overall great stay just needs some maintenance and cosmetic fixes to make it even more enjoyable.
My wife and I stayed at the property for a weekend getaway to the mountains and were not disappointed. The hot tub was just outside the door and overlooked views of the nearby mountains. We also took advantage of the fire pit for a relaxing night in with all of the necessary wood and starter stuff provided. We took a short hike along the property and overall just really enjoyed our time. The rental itself was comfortable and had many thoughtful amenities included. There wasn’t a stove, so we just made sure to bring items that could be cooked in the combo oven/air fryer or the microwave. There was a smart tv where we could watch a movie at night. The host was welcoming and extremely communicative. All in all, it was an excellent stay, and we look forward to returning in a different season to see what all has changed.
Nice clean small but loved it very clean and isolated quite peaceful location

About the host
Hosted by Kevin and Cristina Candee
Cristina and I love having the opportunity to host you on our little oasis. We have traveled the entire world for work, and enjoy having the relaxed atmosphere of the Blue Ridge Mountains. It is a unique place where the people here are friendly and hospitible, but also have the attitude of live and let live.
Why they chose this property
We chose this property because of the views and ability to construct hiking trails and place where the only sounds are from nature.
