Great little cabin!
We were in the area to look at property and needed a home base to venture out from. This cabin fit the bill perfectly. Its located in a great area that is private, peaceful, and easily accessible to the rest of the town. Its a great place to get away from busy streets and traffic. It was clean, comfortable, and very well appointed. Our dogs LOVED the yard.

Perfect stay
The house was clean, new, well stocked, and well thought out. Communication with the host was quick and easy. She even texted to let us know the house was ready early. The location to the Fonta Flora trail is incredible. Will stay here again!

33rd Anniversary Trip
We rented the cabin for our 33rd anniversary and went to the Biltmore for the Christmas Tour. The cabin was very clean and had everything we needed. I help one of our daughters clean vacation rentals in Florida and I was very impressed with how clean everything was. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely keep this one on our list of places to stay.
