This cabin was secluded in the woods, cozy and comfortable. Pretty clean and had the essentials in the kitchen and bathroom. The outdoor space was nice to have with the weather being so nice during our stay. The location was relatively close to all the trails we explored. The hot tub was a huge plus!! Questions were answered promptly with the host, and they were very kind. Little things that we experienced during our stay- Most of the outdoor lights were out or didn’t work, and we had to buy batteries for the tv remote, also the coffee maker was tricky to figure out and didn’t take a regular coffee filter. The record player didn’t work properly either, sadly. We had to bring our own firewood (good thing I asked prior to getting there if it was provided or not). Just seemed like the owners haven’t been there in a while to check on all the things, but nothing super urgent, and we still really enjoyed our stay!Would recommend it for a two person getaway if you need some time away from home!

Host is great but communication thru only the app made some time sensitive issues difficult with lack of signal up there. Upon arrival the WiFi was off so it took a day or so to reach the owner about the WiFi due to rain and not having signal but we got it straightened out! I would suggest more cabinets in the kitchen, other than the fridge there’s no where to store dry goods for an extended stay like ours was. And some of the furniture you may want to check for safety issues as they were wobbly. I didn’t even attempt to use some inside or out because they wobbled so bad. Maybe have a welcome folder with check in/out instructions as well as WiFi password, how to work the remotes for all the fans, and trash code and where the dumpster is? I would also suggest maybe adding a TV to the bedroom. Not a huge one but maybe a small one would be nice. Having one TV even with just a couple there… someone’s gonna be bored lol. I really did enjoy the stay though! It’s a beautiful small cabin! If your intention is just to relax or hike it’s perfect for both in location and size! The local restaurants are exquisite and the steak house in blue ridge is beyond any I’ve ever had! Pricey! But delicious!! The casino wasn’t too far away to enjoy either! Overall we would definitely recommend! Pierce is very helpful and willing to make anything right they possibly can! Plenty of towels and blankets and pillows and the bed and couch were so comfortable and clean! Best feature? HOT TUB! ;)

Very cute. I bit pricey but didn’t get to enjoy all of the amenities due to the rain.
