Check in was super easy we met Tom who was very friendly and gave us a quick tour. The grounds are beautiful, with horses and a waterfall you can walk to. It really feels like you are staying above the trees. Breakfast was delicious, we spent evenings in the library and the sun rise and sunsets were special to see. ##### jenna From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent #### David 15 Dec 2024 #### Great stay The cabin we had was spacious, well equiped and clean ##### David Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Adele 20 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Beautiful property! We will back! ##### Adele Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sarah 21 Jul 2025 #### Totally relaxing and enjoyable! Beautiful & peaceful setting on the very top of the mountain with spectacular views! Lovely breakfasts each morning on a terrace with that spectacular view. Quiet & relaxing, with easy access to Highlands for lunches, dinners, & shopping. Several waterfalls in the area are worth visiting. Owner was very accommodating & made sure we had everything we needed. We were even upgraded to a better room at no charge because it was our 50th wedding anniversary! Mountain slide & winery close by. ##### Sarah ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [The Beacon](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Morehead-City-Hotels-Salter-Path-Inn.h10655047.Hotel-Information) > - [Travelodge by Wyndham Winchester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Winchester-Hotels-Travelodge-By-Wyndham-Winchester.h9600.Hotel-Information) > - [Lighthouse View Oceanfront Lodging](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Buxton-Hotels-Lighthouse-View-Oceanfront-Lodging.h13278801.Hotel-Information) > - [Hyatt Place Chapel Hill / Southern Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chapel-Hill-Hotels-Hyatt-Place-Chapel-Hill-Southern-Village.h16543920.Hotel-Information) > - [Folkestone Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cherokee-Hotels-Folkestone-Inn.h1551198.Hotel-Information) > - [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Price by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Price-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Price.h9253345.Hotel-Information) > - [Scandinavian Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sister-Bay-Hotels-Scandinavian-Lodge.h16603450.Hotel-Information) > - [Baymont by Wyndham Mishawaka South Bend Area](https://www.expedia.co.uk/South-Bend-Hotels-Baymont-By-Wyndham-Mishawaka-South-Bend-Area.h1976.Hotel-Information) > - [Days Inn and Suites by Wyndham Oxford](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Henderson-Hotels-Days-Inn-And-Suites-By-Wyndham-Oxford.h15792345.Hotel-Information) > - [Relaxing, Cozy, Beautiful 3 BR Log Cabin in Blowing Rock/Boone NC](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Boone-Hotels-Relaxing.h33311517.Hotel-Information) > - [Hilton Garden Inn Outer Banks/Kitty Hawk](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kitty-Hawk-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Outer-BanksKitty-Hawk.h1445722.Hotel-Information) > - [Trailborn Surf and Sound, Outdoor Collection by Marriott Bonvoy](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wilmington-Hotels-Blockade-Runner-Beach-Resort.h15691.Hotel-Information) > - [Holiday Inn Express Plymouth by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Plymouth-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Plymouth.h662090.Hotel-Information) > - [The View Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kayenta-Hotels-The-View-Hotel.h59418009.Hotel-Information) > - [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Salisbury by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Salisbury-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Salisbury.h14769213.Hotel-Information) > - [Riverside Log Cabins](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Boone-Hotels-Riverside-Log-Cabins.h22870419.Hotel-Information) > - [American Motel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hickory-Hotels-American-Motel.h15676263.Hotel-Information) > - [A View for Two: Tiny House with BIG VIEWS](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fleetwood-Hotels-A-View-For-Two-Tiny-House-With-BIG-Views.h46979075.Hotel-Information) > - [Asheville-Million Dollar Views, Hot Tub, Theatre Room, Billiards, Sleeps 16](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Asheville-Hotels-Asheville-Million-Dollar-Views.h33570667.Hotel-Information) > - [Harrah's Cherokee – A Caesars Rewards Destination](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cherokee-Hotels-Harrahs-Cherokee-Casino-Resort.h13319510.Hotel-Information) > - [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Southport - Oak Island Area by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bolivia-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Southport-Oak-Island-Area.h8282528.Hotel-Information) > - [LOG CABIN + MOUNTAIN VIEWS!
