Cabin was everything we were hoping for and more! The home is very clean, cozy, nicely decorated, and close to fun activities. We hiked to see nearby Roaring Fork waterfall which is beautiful and well worth visiting, played golf in Spruce Pines at Grassy Creek Club and after explored cute Burnsville. We also went kayaking/canoeing with NC Outdoor Adventures which was a terrific experience. I highly recommend Cabin Branch! The home and property (babbling brook and rhododendrons) are lovely. It exceeded our expectations, and we hope to be back soon for another relaxing getaway. I’ve included a picture of the upstairs bedroom.

Family Vacation

My husband, teen son, and I stayed for 4 days and had a wonderful time! The property is a perfect sanctuary with a creek to listen to and beautiful foliage all around. The house is beautiful and extremely well kept, providing everything we needed. We enjoyed hiking the nearby falls everyday and exploring nearby Burnsville and Little Switzerland. We will definitely rent this property again!

Only one thing needs to be changed at the cabin

Everything at the property is great except for the toilet in the upstairs bathroom. It should be replaced with a chair height toilet!! Would be easier to use for someone who has bad knees or is elderly!! Other than that everything is pretty much perfect!!

This was our third time staying here and we will be back

Always enjoy our stay at Cabin Branch. We had the pleasure of meeting the owners. The gas grill wasn't working and they brought a new one out to us. Sadly we had to leave a day early due to a death in our family. We will return next year. Very good location with lots of great hiking and waterfalls near by.

Cute cabin conveniently located

A charming and sweet little cabin conveniently located to many hiking trails. Everything you might need for a long or short stay. I wish we could go back in the summertime to enjoy those great porches. They were so tempting, but it was freezing cold the whole time we were there. The host was accommodating, and the instructions for everything were super helpful and accurate.

Relaxing Cabin

Wonderful log cabin that was well decorated, well stocked with everything you needed and in a very relaxing environment. Ron was a great host, he checked in on us to make sure we were able to get into the cabin. He was accommodating when we requested an early check in. My favorite part of the cabin was the screened in porch with a small stream next to the cabin. Sipping on your coffee and listening to the sound of flowing water was quite serene. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed. The showers had hot water and were clean. My husband enjoyed having a golf course right across the street. Even though it was closed due to damage from hurricane Helene, he was able to hit some golf balls and we took our dog to hike around. There were Canadian geese near the Toe river and he jumped right into the cool water. There’s a waterfall that you can hike to from the cabin. About 20min one way. We enjoyed having a gas fireplace and a huge wooden deck in front where you can sit and eat. We didn’t use the grill in the back porch, but that’s also a nice spot that’s surrounded by nature. We drove to Burnsville which is a nice little town with quaint shops and restaurants. It’s only about 20-30min drive. We drove a little further to Roan mountain. And hiked to a beautiful mountain ridge with awesome views. It was a great stay. Highly recommend this comfy, cozy cabin.

Absolute HEAVEN for 5 days/4 nights

Wow, we don't even know where to start. From the moment we arrived, we were instantly at peace in Ron's beautiful cabin. The running creek on the property offered solace and comfort to this weary couple! The screened porch was so fantastic! We enjoyed sitting out in the mornings...drinking our coffee and listening to the creek and sounds of nature. Many a nap was taken on the futon! The cabin was clean, comfortable and downright STUNNING! The host has thought of simply EVERY detail. Supplies were everywhere and in SURPLUS! We enjoyed a few trips into Burnsville and took advantage of the many hiking trails in the area. Such a dream, we didn't want to leave. THANK YOU, RON, for sharing your home with us! It's, by far, the nicest cabin we have ever stayed in. The location and your attention to detail was absolutely superb! ***TIP: Do your grocery shopping before you arrive. The IGA in Burnsville is about 25 minutes away. In retrospect, we should have stopped at the Food Lion in Marion.

Really close Mount Matthews. In view of the Black Mountain Range. Secluded cabin with an awesome screened in porch overlooking a creek that's right on there property. Spacious, but not extravagant. The owner is very kind and easy going. Cannot recommend this place enough.

The property itself is beautiful, a lovely house. But it's clear it's not regularly maintained, and it's not easily accessible to hiking trails, etc. as the listing suggested. The local golf course is closed (permanently by the sounds of it), numerous businesses, the Mt. Mitchell campground access, and the immediate accesses to the Blue Ridge Parkway are currently closed as well. You have to drive well out of your way to get to see nature at the moment. We understand there was a hurricane a year ago and the area is still recovering, but the listing for this property promised the opposite. The property itself needs improvement. There were sheets provided, but no sheets on the bed? I've never paid to stay anywhere that made me put sheets on the bed. There's a clear cleanliness issue - the inside of the house, as well as the screened in porch, reeked of animal urine, presumably from whoever had dogs there before we did. We spent time airing the place out and putting some freshener on the carpets. The whole place needs a deep clean, there are cobwebs and spiders all over - it's just clear theres not much work being put into the property when it comes to guests staying. We suspect there might be rodents in the house. There's a light switch for each individual light, and they're difficult to navigate. I'd suggest spending less time on fabric softeners and tephlon pans, and instead do a deep clean of the place for future guests.
