As my wife and I have stayed in a great deal of VRBO rentals, we found these accommodations above the rest. The cleanliness of the place was excellent. The communication with the owner was always in a timely manner. We had no difficulties getting to this clean and well equipped home.

About the host

Hosted by Heather Gallagher

Host profile image
Heather and Stephen spent from 2020 to 2021 living full-time in their 5th wheel. While on the road, they ended up buying a campground and spent three years as owner operators. After selling it in 2024, they decided to settle down in the Western North Carolina Mountains. Running a vacation rental cabin is very rewarding after the campground!

Heather is an author, so she spends a lot of time at local coffee shops writing. Stephen is a former cyber security salesman and now coaches clients on becoming debt free.

Why they chose this property

The views! From sunrise to sunset, the 180 degree southeast views are spectacular. While it is a gravel road (for 8/10 of a mile) going up, it's worth it when you get there!
Deer and turkeys frolic and roam around the mountain top and are often seen in the backyard.

What makes this property unique

Again - the views! While there are a handful of cabins on top of our mountain, this cabin has the most expansive. At 2,200' altitude, guests can see several Blue Ridge Mountain ranges in the distance.
