Our cabin is on a county maintained gravel road that is fine for all cars Spring, Summer and Fall. During winter please come prepared for driving potentially on snowy roads and be certain you can take care of yourselves and car (snowchains, or AWD, or 4x4 are the best options).

Really loved the house but the gravel road portion was challenging especially if you meet other vehicles. The view was spectaculiar and very roomy for two people.

The cabin feels like a private mountain retreat just minutes away from Blowing Rock. We loved spending time on the deck, taking in the beautiful views and relaxing in the hot tub, which also offers fantastic scenery. Cozying up in the den by the gas logs was another highlight of our visit. Everything matched the listing perfectly, and we found all the amenities we needed. Be sure to read the "Welcome Book" since it contains a wealth of helpful information. We're already planning our return visit! ##### Will L.

It was very well appointed and had everything we needed. It is right off 321 just south of Blowing Rock. The view was spectacular - we faced west and could see several peaks, including Grandfather Mountain. Same view from the Living Room, Master Bedroom and Hot Tub. The drive from the main road up to the cabin includes gravel roads so I was glad we brought the SUV. Will gladly stay there again. ##### Susan G.

The Secret Shack was the perfect spot to disconnect for our anniversary trip. We spent the day hiking at Linville Falls so coming back to the beautiful mountain view and coziness of the fireplace was just what we needed. Waking up to the sunrise view of the mountains from the master bedroom bed is amazing! It was clean, plenty of towels, comfortable bedding and the instructions for everything were very easy to follow. We will be back! ##### Tabitha M.

Beautiful place and view; hot tub was wonderful, beds very comfortable, the weather was lovely. The kitchen was clean, well equipped, and cozy. We enjoyed our time together in the cottage. The property could benefit from handrail on lower steps from driveway to upper deck and front door, garlic powder in spice rack, fire extinguisher in a more prominent location in case of fire emergencies. ##### Janet P.

Even in summer when the trees are full of foliage, the view is fantastic. We had everything we needed for our stay. The only cons were that the internet really des not work at all (don't expect to be able to check the web or stream movies at all) and the drive from the main highway is a little intimidating on first arrival. ##### Lauren M.

The location was excellent. Just five minutes from Blowing Rock. I traveled into town several times as there is much to do there. It was also close to lots of hiking trails which I did as well. It was very clean and exactly as described. The view was phenomenal. The road getting to the house was steep but no problem during the summer. Might be a little tricky if there is some snow and ice on the ground. Also, it rained everyday and that caused the TV and internet to go down. Make sure to bring a couple good books. Overall, I was very satisfied and highly recommend. ##### Roger W.

Chris is an amazing host and everything was better than expected. Many upgrades since our last stay including new furniture, appliances, and a gas fireplace were fantastic. The view is amazing and so cool to wake up to in the master bedroom. Plenty of towels and the bed linens are super comfortable. The hot tub is a nice touch as many smaller properties lack this. We’d give more stars if we could and would love to visit again! ##### Jeremy S.

Everything we needed to cook and we enjoyed the warm welcome with a bottle of wine & chocolate. The deck was my favorite part, plenty of room and comfortable patio furniture, our puppy loved the plush woods and the small trail to a picnic area. You definitely need a vehicle to climb ruff terrain, steep hills, and sharp turns. Highly recommend for a weekend getaway, thank you Matt and Chris! ##### xcxc v.

It was so peaceful and pleasant to sit on the deck for morning coffee and evening sundowns. The bedroom with expansive window facing the mountains was an added bonus! We really enjoyed our getaway! ##### Leslie K. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2022 ---
