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.

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.

Great Birthday Getaway
Easy access, great location for seeing the sites within an hours drive or so and lovely stay! Owner was very helpful the first night when we had some technical difficulties getting onto the TV system. Just sorry that we didn't take more advantage of the Fonta Flora trail out back aside from a couple of short walks down it. Might just need a couple more adult drinking glasses :)

Upon our arrival, this house turned out to be even more than what we expected. It looked brand new, was super clean and located close to everything. There is a trail right next to the property so we got in a great 5 mile hike by Lake James with our pups.

Perfect Lake in the mountains getaway
We had such a wonderful week in Lake James. Our house was very nice and had everything you'd need. The trail literally in the backyard that goes on for miles can't be beat. Plus the Linville Gorge a quick drive away for additional hiking. The lake was also great, so many fun different spots to get in for a swim or find great views. We will definitely be back to Lake James!

Perfect !!
Perfect, 2 bed/2bath. This midsize house/cottage was perfect for my grown son and me. I was happy with every aspect of this Location, very clean and quiet. I truly couldn't have asked for anything more. We came to fish Lake James and the Linville River, very easy to get to both from this location, there is a gas station and a restaurant right around the corner. I absolutely will be looking forward to my next trip here. A couple tips I would pass along, back in driveway off main road, and take it easy pulling up the gravel drive when you leave. Other than that, just sit back and chill or go crazy in the outdoors, there is so much to enjoy in this area for all ages.
