Quaint cabin

Quaint little cabin with great location on Fighting Town creek. Truly no internet service and cell service, but nice to disconnect from those. We tubed down the creek and went on a fishing guided tour about an hour away. McCaysville city center is only about 5 mins from the cabin, Mercier Orchards is about 10 mins, and Blue Ridge is 20-30 mins.

Able to fish off the deck and catch trout. No internet and the selection on the dish was not good so download movies before you go.

Lovely secluded cabin by a flowing stream

This beautiful, cozy cabin was perfect for our stay. Lovely location in front of a stream (you can see rainbow trout swimming), The only sounds are those of the stream's running water over the rocks below the cabin's balcony. If you are looking for peace and quiet then this will fit the bill, but you may need a 4WD vehicle to get to it! Note: there is no wi-fi, cell service, washer/drier or dishwasher. If you "need" those, look elsewhere. For us it was perfect.

Tumbling run

The bed downstairs is so uncomfortable. They need a new mattress. You roll into the middle of the bed. Also they need better TV channels. They used to have TV channels that people actually watch but I guess they decided to go with the cheapest package. The new outdoor patio was beautiful. The view and sound of the water was amazing as well.

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful

We loved the quaint cabin, the loft was wonderful for our kids to have their own beds. The creek was so peaceful. The kitchen was well-equipped. The fireplace was perfect (just remember to bring a lighter/matches because one is not provided). The bed in the master bedroom needs to be updated, it was very worn and springy and pretty uncomfortable. Other than that we could not recommend this place more!

Beautiful, quaint cabin. Kitchen is fully equipped. The mattress in the master needs to be replaced, it is very uncomfortable. There was plenty of firewood but nothing to light it with. We would definitely stay here again. The sound of the creek was so peaceful and we loved not having internet and being able to play all the games provided and fish off the deck with the provided pole. Thank you

Perfect Weekend Getaway

Our stay here definitely exceeded expectations. We wanted a weekend to disconnect and decompress, and this cozy cabin did just the trick! Well equipped with all the essentials and then some. Nicely decorated and super clean overall. The flowing creek was very relaxing to sit next to on the porch swing or light a fire out at the fire pit. We were hesitant to see how comfortable the bed actually was after seeing a few previous reviews criticizing the comfort, but it seemed like a decent mattress pad had at least been added, so the bed was certainly comfortable for us. The dirt/gravel road getting to the cabin was navigable, but we were certainly thankful we had an awd suv. A lower front wheel drive car might have a bit more of a challenge with parts of the road, but might still make it. The description also said there’s room for two small cars to park, but turning around with another car there would definitely be a challenge. It took a little bit to figure out how to best turn our full size suv around the first time, but it was fine after that. The only real critique was that the septic/plumbing lines would very quickly get overloaded to where the toilet would no longer flush. After sitting overnight or all day while out, we could get two full flushes in, but that would be about it. The sinks and shower would always drain fine, but running either of those would quickly take away potential good flushes. Hopefully that can get fixed, because we’d love to stay again!

This was a perfect little spot to go and unwind for a few days. We built fires in the fire pit and sat and listened to the creek and it was incredibly relaxing.

Perfect mountain getaway!!!

We absolutely loved the cabin! It was so nice to wake up to the view of the river from the bedroom - not to mention the peaceful sound. It was absolutely gorgeous with the changing of the leaves! The directions were spot on (although - don't trust your navigation!). The gravel roads were fine with my Honda civic, you just have to take it slow! Check in and check out was a breeze! I was worried about not having phone or internet service, but I actually found it to be very relaxing. Everyone needs a break from technology once in a while!

A wonderful weekend stay

When you eventually find it, you will find the location is hard to beat. The French doors open up to a porch that peeks over the creek that makes for a peaceful morning. The wood burning stove was a nice touch for an immersive log cabin experience.

Amazing Place!

We absolutely loved this little cabin on the creek! We had a blast the whole stay. From fishing on the deck, hiking around the creek beds, to the bbq fest we attended in town. We also enjoyed our trip into Mccaysville to the neat restaurants on the river. & you definitely can’t beat waking up to that beautiful view of the creek right from the bedroom doors. We will definitely return & recommend this place for all who love relaxing & a little adventure. Thanks for having us!
