Getting lost cabin getaway
The Cabin was perfect. Clean and stocked with some essentials. Firewood available for the fire place and fire pit. Be prepared to get groceries before you arrive as this cabin is very remote. We had no cell service for 8 miles surrounding the cabin. Getting inside was a little difficult as the key pad didn’t work and no cell service. We had to drive back out many miles to call and get the key code. Owners were wonderful. If you want to get off the grid and get away, this is your place.

Hidden gem
My soon to be and I stayed four days at this beautiful and quite hidden mountaintop cabin with the intent of searching nearby areas to get married and hopefully eventually move to. That being said,we did not get to enjoy the cabin as much as we would have Liked. The limited time we were there was absolutely beautiful

A break from chemo to a wonderful mountain cabin
My mother has fought cancer for the last few years. This year it came back in her lungs. She took a couple of weeks off from treatment to give her body a break and relax. This cabin provided the most perfect place for her to rest and enjoy the mountain air. Not to mention my father and I are lovers of the mountains as well. Dan and Shayla were the perfect hosts, great commutation and very kind. The cabin was beautifully decorated and clean. We had a fabulous stay.

Old reliable
We have stayed here mutiple times. If your looking for simple, peace, and privacy this is your place. Very easy to work with owners whom always are open for questions. Dont freak out with no AC. I am a florida boy and several years ago I stayed in the summer and saw no AC. Just open the windows and let the mountain do its job. They have a few fans and its more than comfortable in the evenings. Prettiest road in western NC is Wayah road which you take if going west off the mountain. Bryson city, Murphy, Cherokee, Franklin, Dillsboro is all relatively close. Great cabin!

Home Away From Home
This property has now become our favorite. Coming from a busy area in Florida all we wanted was peace and quiet and this quaint cabin gave us just that. Dan was the perfect host checking in on us and providing us places to eat in town and making sure we stopped at the grocery store before we drove to the cabin. The drive into the cabin was epic and the hot tub was the icing on the cake. Highly recommend. Even my teenager daughter had a great time.

This was our third visit and we love the views, quiet location and cozy comfort of this cabin. If you want to get away but still be close to restaurants and recreational activities, this is your place. Cabin is very well supplied and hosts are very responsive.
