The cabin was super cozy and sweet. Overall it was a great location, perfect for our family and was very comfortable. The pictures in the listing are a bit misleading because the house is right off of the main road and there are several cabins in close proximity. I was expecting more secluded from the pictures. The gas fireplace was not working and the hot tub was a bit on the cool side. My kids loved the creek in the front and the foose ball table upstairs! Overall a great stay and enjoyed our time there. The history and character of the house was a plus!

Great location

House was clean and well equipped for all ages, including a small highchair that came in handy for my granddaughter. The deck was great for the kids to run about on the the jacuzzi was good for the tired adults after chasing kids. Beds were very comfortable with lots of pillows. Proximity to local attractions was great,and the creek in front of the house was fun to explore. Definitely recommend staying at this cabin.

Vila stay

This was a spare of the moment trip for a weekend getaway. The house was nice. I had a few questions to the owner, but never received any answers. Hot water was probably our biggest hurdle.

Caldera trip

It was a nice cozy cabin experience. We loved the setup. However the trash bins were left with little to no space for our trash. One trash container was full to rim and the second trash container was half full, therefore we were left having to leave some trash near the kitchen door. Over all thank you for giving us the family /cabin wood vibes. My daughter loved it

Great time! Exterior needs attention.

We had a great time and the location is terrific for everything we wanted to see and do - Blowing Rock, horse show, Grandfather Mountain and Valle Crucis. The floor plan was great for the adults downstairs and the kids upstairs. The interior was in good shape and well equipped, but the exterior of the house and the grounds needed much attention - gutters filled with debris, shrubs need pruning, decking was dirty & much in need of paint or stain, along with the window trim - may not bother some folks at all though. Our property manager, Lisa Mahan, was great at communicating for whatever questions we had prior to arrival. Thanks Lisa!
