We felt the pictures didn't tell the complete story when we walked into this rustic, authentic cabin of yesteryear! Pam, our host, had candles lit, a fireplace and a firepit ready to light. Flashes of the Ingles (Little House on the Prairie) came to mind. Dont be fooled though, all modern amenities are inside and you won't miss a thing. This is the place to disconnect as wifi is spotty in the area, but thats what most of us need. There are no large grocery stores nearby but you'll find every necessity in not- to -distant local markets and a packed Dollar General. The breathtaking surroundings, state parks and trails, mountain towns and Blue Ridge Parkway are more than worth being "inconvenienced" a tad bit.
