It was so relaxing and serene. The only negative is the AC. It was in the 90's during our stay and the house stayed around 75 except for 1 early morning we were able to get it down to 71 by opening up all the doors and windows. Other than that it was wonderful. ##### Tiffany D.

It was lovely ❤️ the water and trails were soothing and a calm place to step away when needed. The bedroom situation is odd with all rooms other than the main suite being pass thru connections. We made it work and would have preferred doors on the bathroom as opposed to curtains 🤷‍♀️ The access road was difficult for some of our attendees but most made it. The kitchen set up was great for a gathering and well stocked with dishes and utensils. Thanks so much. ##### Julie M.

Our family wanted a getaway that was far enough away from everything but still close enough if we needed it. The house was exactly as advertised! It was super spacious and beautiful! The pond was fun to fish in while there was a fire going nearby! Lots of wildlife and relaxation! The thermostat was broken when we got there, so there was no heat, but communication with Alex was very consistent and it was fixed the very next morning! Same with the internet, a critter had chewed through the lines so there was no internet connection. We let Alex know and It was fixed the very next day! The property had everything we needed, including space heaters, and more and we will definitely be staying again! Loved it! ##### Lauren A. Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2024 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Ronald S. 30 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful location and house Overall the location was beautiful and so was the house. The kitchen was a good size and the deck was very nice. The driveway was a bit treacherous and rough. The single floor was very helpful The house worked well for us with one exception. We were four couples and the one bathroom was between two of the bedrooms with no door, only a curtain which made it pretty awkward. We were also surprised there was no railing on the deck especially since there was a significant drop off. Because we were all adults it wasn't a problem but we could see some potentially serious issues if children were staying here. ##### Ronald S.

This property was perfect! In fact it exceeded our expectations. Minutes from Felts Park, minutes from several access points to the New River Trail, minutes from the Blue Ridge Music Center, and providing peace and quiet unlike anything you can imagine. Lots of space -- an incredible amount of space! A large deck overlooking a small lake was perfect for morning coffee or evening wine time. The property was immaculately clean and the kitchen was equipped with everything you could hope for when preparing meals at home. Comfy beds -- just like at home. And the stars at night! When was the last time you saw the Milky Way? Not a single complaint, not a single 'Yeah, but.' It was perfect in every way and we look forward to staying here again when in the area. ##### Valerie Kenyon G. Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amy S. 8 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication #### Pros and cons Pros: very clean, spacious and beautiful cabin. Linens, blankets and towels are well stocked. Great hot water and water pressure. Very peaceful, serene, remote and private. Received security deposit back not long after checkout. Cons: after the initial deposit, more detailed information is sent to you, stating that only a “starter supply “ of toilet paper, paper towels and trash bags are provided. No tissues were in the cabin. So be sure to take these items with you. The description states that two of the three bathrooms have a combo tub/shower. But actually, there is only one tub in the cabin. The other two are stand up showers. Also, you will find out that you have to transport your trash up to the beginning of the driveway and place it in trash cans there. This is not a short driveway. It is an unpaved, gravel road that has numerous dips and potholes; causing a very uneven and rough road. We had a new, small SUV and it was dragging branches and broken sticks all along the road. If you choose to come, we highly suggest a truck or four wheel drive. The hot tub came with no instructions on how to use it, so we had to google the owners manual. Then, it only worked part of the time. We only got to use it three times in a week. But it was very nice when it worked! In conclusion, if you can get past the cons, it is a gorgeous cabin with large rooms and beautiful views. ##### Amy S.

This modern style home has a spacious layout for entertaining. The pond in the back yard is beautiful, surrounded by trees. We appreciated the nice hot tub, large dining table, spacious bedrooms, and cleanliness of this home. It is one of the cleanest homes we've ever rented. It definitely met our needs and would recommend it for a relaxing, private getaway with enough space for entertaining a larger group. ##### m m.

The owner thought of just about everything anyone could ever want or need. It was very clean and comfortable, relaxing, enjoyable, just PERFECT! Thank you so much for letting us come and stay while we attended family reunion events there in Galax. You made us feel so welcomed and you were so helpful with the checking in and checking out. The family members who came with us loved being there and said they would give it 10 stars review! It was so wonderful, and we hope that you'll let us come again some time. Thank you! Again, it was PERFECT! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/c0e9d274-42e8-4e53-8caf-62565db99b5a-1757378876077.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5e8973e7-e87d-4863-8a2c-a24cd0121682-1757378876231.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Diane F.
