Can't get any better than this one!

If I could give a perfect 10, this one would be a 10. When looking for the perfect place for a getaway, look no further. This is it! The owner/host, Carl, greeted us on our arrival to explain all the features the cabin has to offer. He cares deeply about his cabins as can be seen by the detail of wood craftsmanship he has filled them with and along with strategically placed lighting that add that extra whimsical touch...it's wonderful. There are also Bluetooth accessed speakers than can be used. His attention to every detail can be seen in every nook and cranny and in the use of every piece of a log and/or wood he could possibly use. Absolutely a site of craftsmanship to admire. Just bring your groceries. There is an Ingles grocery store close by if you need or forget something. Everything cooking and serving is provided for you in the kitchen. Take time to enjoy the porches and the firepit area. We will definitely be telling everyone about this hidden treasure and will look forward to our next stay. Thank you Carl for creating and sharing this beautiful place.
Don't miss this front porch treat...it even has a fan.
Exterior side and front area surrounded by mountain laurel. This is from the bedroom.
Nice size shower with wonderful shower head and plenty of water pressure.
Just a view of the ceilings. AC and ceiling fans in den and bedroom were wonderful.

This was a great weekend get a way! It's just as pictured only more beautiful in person. A lot of love and work went into building this Whimsical Place! We loved it! It's quiet, very clean, comfortable and stocked with everything you need. The kitchen is fully equipped, just bring the groceries! The bedroom has a comfortable queen bed with room to spare. If you're looking to take a nap, I highly recommend the chairs on the front porch!! The owner is very nice and friendly. If you have any problems with anything just let him know. We definitely recommend staying here and we would love to stay here again (only a little longer!!)

Clean and enjoyable stay

Highly recommended. It’s a great place to “get away” and Carl has crafted an awesome and unique cottage that has it all. If you like the outdoors and making a fire and feeling like you need to getaway from city life every once in a while then this is a great place to do it!

We had the best time! The cabin was beautiful inside and out. The attention to detail and gorgeous woodwork was second to none. It was very clean and had everything we could possibly need. It was SO relaxing, peaceful, and private; just what we were looking for. We can't wait to go back!
