We enjoyed our stay at the Rustic Cabin. Communications were great with our host Zoltan. The cabin was clean, comfortable and well stocked with all necessities. Unfortunately it was a rainy stay so we were unable to enjoy outdoor grilling and the fire pit. The cabin was close to trails, Caesars Head, and Pretty Place Chapel. Hope to make this a yearly trip.
Zoltan was incredibly communicative and helpful during the stay. The property was very well maintained and everything was labeled for ease of use. Highly recommend to anyone who wants a relaxing cabin stay.
Perfect location with a lovely, private back yard. The firepit was well stocked firewood. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. We will definitely go back!
This is the place to go to get away and relax. If you want privacy, clean and well kept place then this is it. Great place to relax and read sit by a fire and enjoy life.
The place was beautiful, the cabin was lovely, super clean, it had everything we needed and great communication with the owner. It’s definitely worth staying. The neighbors are very lovely people and we cannot wait to go back again!
This was the best equipped home we have stayed in.
It's also located close to many NC and SC state parks.
Local restaurants are friendly, fun and serve good food.
Be sure to sit by the firepit in the early evening and listen to the birds sing...wonderful and peaceful. A quiet country setting.
We had a great stay. Clean, comfortable, and adequately stocked. We had chosen the location based on the proximity to Pretty Place Chapel. Unfortunately, Pretty Place was closed to the public almost our entire stay so lesson learned for other travelers to check ahead as it might not be open. The cabin was great and we were able to see plenty of other beautiful local sites. Thank you.
My boyfriend and I only got to spend a couple nights here but would have absolutely loved to stay longer (boo work and responsibilities 🙄). It is close to many great hiking trails, which is what we wanted. While it is fairly remote, meaning cell service was terrible for us, the cabin had great WiFi, and all of the amenities you would need. Beyond the practical elements the feeling of this cabin was perfect -- the warm lighting and colors everywhere, the secluded fire pit next to a gentle stream, the wooden floors, the cute lanterns in the dining room, the comfy furniture, it all felt like a good hug. If you are looking for somewhere to relax and get away from the chaos of life, stay here. It was perfect.
I believe this is probably one of the cleanest places we have stayed. This was such a great little house. The experience was amazing and the surrounding landscape was very relaxing. Very close to many hiking trails and the Pretty Place Chapel. We highly recommend.
My stay could not have been better! Very clean throughout, with every possible need provided for, such as dish soap, laundry soap for the washer, a laundry basket, a fan, plenty of kitchen tools, filtered water in the fridge, towels. etc. I hope to have the opportunity to stay here again.
Everything we needed for our stay ! Comfortable beds and well stocked linens and laundry. Everything labeled made it easy to find things . Very clean and neat. Will definitely stay again !!
We booked this as a weekend getaway to meet with and host family members. The cabin is very homey with enough space for 2 people with high quality furniture, kitchenware, provided utilities, spices, a comfortable bed and more. It is truly worth the price and the fact it hosts younger adults like me and my partner is very kind of the owner.Overall i loved my stay here as a germophobe, there was absolutely NO dirtiness, scum/mold/etc anywhere.
Very nice place, about 25 minutes from Brevard which has some nice restaurants (Square Root and Quixote were great), and another 15 or 20 minutes to some nice hikes in Pigsah Forest. Great backyard with small fire pit. We saw a deer and a raccoon in the back when we arrived. The place was very clean, bed was comfortable, everything worked as advertised.

EVERYTHING about this property’s description is accurate. Zoltan the host was extremely accommodating and quick to respond! The scenery was breathtaking and the pictures do not do it justice! Highly recommend for a couples get away, if i could rate higher I would!
Hoping to stay here again in the near future. A great place for two people. Very well stocked for our needs they have most everything. Although if you are planning to grill bring your grill utensils. It was very clean. We enjoyed the close proximity to Pretty Place Chapel.
