We had a fantastic time at this cabin. The views were spectacular. Getting to the cabin was an adventure, but we loved the seclusion of it. Cabin had pretty much everything we needed. The only thing I would suggest is providing little soaps for the showers. My friends that stayed in the upper floor said the shower floor was a little slick, but otherwise everything was great! We highly recommend this cabin. You won’t be disappointed!

A beautiful ,clean, well constructed cabin with spectacular views and a front row seat to every sunset. It was the quiet, peaceful retreat I was looking for, on top of the mountain all by yourself.

Fantastic Stay

Absolutely incredible views. Pictures don’t do it justice. Cabin was clean, well furnished and our kids really enjoyed all of the board games and the downstairs game room was a hit. Drive in and out of town (Old Fort/Black Mountain) was around 20/30 minutes, but didn’t bother us at all given all of the beautiful scenery and wildlife along the way. Owners were great hosts and we highly recommend

House in the mountains

We stayed here for a few days and the house was perfect. The view is unparalleled. During our trip we experienced all types of weather and the house and area were perfect for both indoor and outdoor activities. No complaints and we would recommend for anyone looking to get away.

Weekend getaway

Great cabin! The drive up was a bit nerve-wrecking but you couldn’t beat the view once you got up to the house! Not quite as updated as some other homes we’ve stayed in, but it was cozy and had everything we needed, it even included a high chair which was an unexpected plus! Would definitely stay again if in the area!
