Beautiful cabin, very remote and well appointed!
10 / 10Outstanding·Sep 2025
Our stay at this mountain cabin was absolutely wonderful. The cabin itself is cozy, spotless, and thoughtfully decorated, with all the modern comforts you’d want while still feeling rustic and tucked away in nature. The views from the porch are breathtaking—especially at sunrise with a cup of coffee in hand.The kitchen was well-stocked, making it easy to cook meals, and the fireplace created the perfect atmosphere for relaxing evenings. The location strikes a great balance: private and peaceful, yet only a short drive to hiking trails, local shops, and restaurants.Our host was fantastic—responsive, friendly, and clearly attentive to the details that make a stay memorable.We left feeling refreshed and can’t wait to come back. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a quiet retreat in the mountains!

It was a peaceful get away just like we had planned. Was prepared for “curvy roads” but not being able to turn in the driveway except for passing it and turning around to go in the other direction. Thankfully we were able to turn around at the neighbors driveway up the hill. Hope they didn’t mind! That was the only way in the drive with a large SUV.
6 / 10Average·Jul 2022
The interior of the house is very clean. The exterior needs some attention, but ok considering the wooded location. My family rented this home because of the location to the Tyron equestrian show grounds and other outdoor activities. The dryer was broken and was never repaired during our stay. I called two days in a row and was told it would be fixed. That never happened. We had tons of laundry, due to tubbing and horses. We spent a considerable amount of time doing laundry off site. This took a lot of time that we needed to spend elsewhere.
