Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### William K. 1 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, location Disliked: Communication Although this cabin is in a good location close to the Blue Ridge Parkway, it was very cold and unwelcoming. And I mean literally cold - it is uninsulated and they don't turn on any heat for you before you arrive. It took a day of our stay for the cabin to actually be warm. The manual says they will provide firewood for you to use in the fireplace, but that is not true. If we had known, maybe we could have had a fire the first night and warmed up. This cabin is basically a shack, stylized like it is not, and therefore extremely overpriced. I would never stay here again. Also, it may not be the host's fault, but it had a wasp issue, and we had to kill 9 wasps inside the cabin during our 2 night stay... ##### William K.
