Downstairs on the covered patio you will find a picnic table, swing, gas grill with a spare tank, and a wood burning stove.

Some of the lighting/electrical switches were confusing, but we figured it out. We were not able to turn on the lights on the level with the hot tub, so we’re not sure if they were broken or not. Entering and exiting the parking area was a little dangerous/sketchy, but we made it work in a sedan. Otherwise, was a very nice place and good experience! ##### Katie D. Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### JOSIAH C. 7 May 2024 Liked: Location, listing accuracy #### Fixed feelings It was a very nice place, but we had some difficulties finding it as the gps didn’t bring us to the right cabin and we couldn’t get ahold of anyone to help until the morning so we had to get a motel for the night. Rough start that kinda dampened the mood for the week. But the cabin was very nice once we settled in. Hot tub needed to be a bit cleaner, but overall stay was nice and relaxing ##### JOSIAH C.

We loved the surrounding forest and nature, and enjoyed being close to downtown Blue Ridge. I would advise that guests come prepared. We were told that some firewood would be provided, but there was none. Luckily the nearby Ingles was well stocked! Additionally, there were only a few paper towels supplied and no lighter or matched that we could find. Other than that, we definitely enjoyed our stay. ##### Julia S.

Bad News: I never got the check in directions , so when I got there I had to call VRBO and we called the property owner 4X . In the property owners defense it was 12 midnight. Finally he email back and we got in. Good News: everything was clean and well maintained. The beds were soft and relaxing. We felt right at home. The hot tub was a great touch! I would stay again. ##### Roxanne W.

We loved the hot tub. It rained quite a bit while we were there but we did get to sit out back and enjoy the woods a short time. The only issue we had was that the cabin had not been cleaned when we checked in. The owner was very easy to get in touch with and someone came to clean relatively quickly. We didn't get settled in the cabin until almost 7:30 pm so that was disappointing. However, we didn't let it spoil our vacation. ##### Elizabeth A.
