Our family truly enjoyed our stay even though it rained the entire weekend. We had plenty of games, puzzles and hot tubs to make up for the rain. Lots of space to spread out and relax. We will definitely be back. We've got to see those water falls next trip!

We were looking for some quality time with family from out of town who had never been to NC before. The cabin was just what we were looking for—secluded, peaceful and very clean. It had all the amenities to make our stay fun and comfortable. We didn’t make it as far as the waterfall but it was a nice shaded, scenic hike. The host was very responsive and helpful with any questions we had. Just make sure you bring your groceries/ice ahead of time since it is remote and the driveway steep. We even had a bear sighting while there!

My family had an amazing time! We take a mountain trip every year, and this has been our #1 favorite so far. The cabin was well-equipped with everything we needed, and our hosts were incredibly responsive and helpful throughout our stay. As expected in the mountains, be advised there are black bear sightings, snakes, and plenty of critters around—part of the nature experience, but something to be aware of. Pretty awesome to see! Overall, a beautiful, peaceful getaway. We would definitely book again!

What an absolute gem! We were a group of about 7 friends and stayed for a weekend because the pictures looked impressive. The place is absolutely as stunning as it looks! It’s a very private area (you essentially have your own hilltop nestled in the mountains surrounded by the kind of views you see in coffee table books.) The place is ENORMOUS so we could spread out - I think three small families could comfortably share different areas and have their own space. We made ample use of the massive outdoor hot tub which was unforgettable because we were under cloudless skies and the stars were the clearest we have ever seen them. The host was responsive pretty much immediately to questions which we appreciated. The listing mentioned that the driveway leading up to the home is quite steep (to be expected given that you’re paying for the views from an elevated location) but it wasn’t a problem at all for any of our cars. Overall, an absolute standout experience. Would heartily recommend!
