Nestled in a secluded area, the log cabin offered the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. With plenty of space to roam and relax, we felt truly at peace in our temporary haven. The serene ambiance, coupled with the rustic charm of the cabin, made our stay unforgettable. It was a rejuvenating experience that allowed us to reconnect with nature and each other. We couldn't have asked for a more idyllic getaway. ##### YAUHEN K.

We loved this place even though it mostly rained heavy at times, so we couldn't do too much exploring around the tree house, our horseback riding adventure was also cancelled. It was peaceful and relaxing. The only thing that made it a challenge was making the hard right hand turn off of the pavement. After that, we entered the other way which was not a problem. Would definitely book again! ##### Leon N.

My wife and I are mountain bikers and we planned this vacation to ride everyday and get married on Black Mountain. The location of the cabin is quiet and private. We started each day of our stay with coffee and a wood fire in the glorious fire place. The kitchen has everything you could want to prepare your own meals which we did. The gas grill cooks better than our does at home and everything just tasted better. “Must be the mountains” my wife said. The king bed in the upstairs bedroom was so comfortable and we own a Temperpedic at home. I was concerned about that since we’re both finicky sleepers. Sitting on a rocker on the front porch is such a wonderful place to start and end your day. So peaceful and reflective to listen to the wildlife. We loved the little touches to this place like all the ambient light fixtures. So much character and all the wood and log construction was amazing. We’ll be booking this again for our anniversary in years to come! ##### Heather B.

Comfortable seating inside and out. Great porch area to enjoy the mountain scenery. Management company quick to respond when called. It does take longer to get to places than expected but didnt mind. We had our dog with us and was traveling for a month. We had a transit and had a hitch with stow away for extra storage. We had dog food in it. On our fourth night at 3 am a bear couldn't get into the heavy plastic carrier but pulled out the tail light out and only got some of the food. Then he went after the trash cans but they were secured well. We got the dog food out and cleaned everything well, parked close to house with outside with outside lights on. lights on. Unfortunately there were no motion sensor lights But he came back again our last night at 10:30 and went back and destroyed tail light again. We decided to pack up then and leave then instead of the morning. We learned a valuable lesson. Bears sense of smell is 7 X stronger. We also almost hit a bear running across the winding road down the mountain. The hiking and trails are great around the area. Recommend even after the bear!!! ##### Cynthia G.
