This cabin was perfect for my husband and I. Nice, quiet and secluded. The hot tub was the best part! We would absolutely stay there again.

This cabin is wonderful! It was clean and welcoming. The views that you get from the many windows inside and on the deck are beautiful. You feel secluded from the world with all of the trees around. I did the short hike up to the top of the mountain and the view was well worth it! You can sit on the bench at the top and see the lake and mountain view. There were even a few benches along the trail that I used to take a break. And to end the day, I relaxed in the hot tub! My stay was relaxing and peaceful. I am looking forward to returning.

This was a wonderful getaway from the world. It is an adorable cabin with a comfy master bed and cute kids' nook, super comfy couches, and a fun movie selection. We loved stargazing from the hot tub, hiking the trails, and enjoying the swings up on the mountain. The quiet mountains and great views let us feel secluded even though town was only 20 minutes away. There was a great hammock spot we enjoyed, and even though I chose to keep my phone turned off, it was an added perk that there was Wifi if I wanted to get connected with the outside world. Thanks so much for sharing your little piece of heaven! We will definitely be visiting again.

Wow! This place is beautiful!! Tucked away in the hills of NC. The view was stunning(especially the hike up around the property). We loved the swing. Watching my youngest girl swing was such and enjoyment because she loved it ! The cabin was clean ,they provided so much and even a nice laundry room! Places to sit outside like a table with unbrella, picnic table and hammocks! Hot tub was very nice !! The kids absolutely loved the loft with a comfy Queen and also a air matress that you just plug in and fills up and is comfortable! Games , movies and relaxation. Queen in bedroim downstairs that was very comfy and two pull out couches. Plenty of room and they provided extra blankets. This place was so lovely !!! We went to a local trout farm and did some tubing. Enjoyed the Nantahala. No wifi or cell service so that was great to disconnect. So take your family and let them catch their supper and play some ganes and enjoy the blessings you have in this nice gettaway:) I am from the mountains and hills of Tennessee and beauty runs deep here but to me NC is the next best thing to me :) Great host too !! Super nice and fast response!!

Easy access and supplied with everything we needed for a quiet family weekend. No wifi or cell service kept us away from distractions and spent quality time together watching movies, playing games, in the hot tub and walking trails and enjoying the swings

Even for my group of 6, this tiny home didn’t feel so tiny because there were so many things to do outdoors. My husband and I loved the hammock and hot tub and my kids loved the fire pit and swing. We took hikes everyday using both trails and saw the prettiest views. This was an exceptional birthday trip.

The cabin was extremely cozy, warm, and had a beautiful property. We enjoyed the hike out back and the beautiful views. However, the cleaning process really needs some work. There was a sticky kitchen table, dirty shower floor, hair on pillowcases, and a nasty toilet seat. The hot tub had a huge accumulation of some sort of brown scum in the corner which we also had to clean. The host was extremely hospitable and friendly, but these cleaning issues severely affected our ability to feel relaxed and clean in the cabin. After wiping everything down thoroughly, it was a very nice stay. We would recommend this cabin if a better cleaning process was implemented.

This is a very comfortable cabin to stay in. Very private. There is a cabin down the hill that you really don't see, but it is somewhat close. The hiking trails both lead to the same spot on top where you get a peek at the lake. We enjoyed swinging on the swing, laying on the hammock, relaxing in the hot tub, s'more-ing by the fire. The house had *just* enough space for our family of 5 (6, 4, 2 y/o) to stay for 4 nights. Well equipped, so you only need your clothes and bath stuff. Thanks so much!!

My husband and I enjoyed the seclusion and privacy of the place. Cozy and away from the Hussle and bustle of everyday life, but within 20 minutes of Andrews, NC.

We were in the area to paddle whitewater and found a quiet getaway. Water heater temp could be higher now that evenings are cool. Quaint and peaceful. We enjoyed our stay. All was as advertised

HIGHLY RECOMMEND AND ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!
Such a cute and beautiful cabin. Me and my partner loved staying here. Very secluded with hot tub, fire pit, beautiful indoor space, swings and private hikes within the property! Very secluded and you'd barely step out of the cabin grounds as it is very MAGICAL!

All the right things made this tiny house stay one to remember. The deck and extra seating areas were perfect, and it served as a great home-base to come back to from our days adventures.

Cozy tiny cabin
Perfect for two people. Hot tub was clean and easy to use. Location minutes to the lake where our friends were staying.
Loft was too small for us to use, more for children to play in.

We had a great time " unplugged" from everything. No phone service or internet, yet the kids were not bored. They enjoyed exploring around the property and we all enjoyed the hot tub. Would definitely recommend this place to family and friends.

This little cabin was just cozy enough to provide everything we needed! Big windows bring in the views. Great outdoor space on the deck and property to explore and enjoy. There is an additional building that houses a washer/dryer on site. The drive up was a pretty but curvy mountain road. The driveway is steep but manageable. It's quiet and relaxed but there is zero reception for any kind of communication. You have to drive a few miles if you need that. We stopped at the grocery store about 20 minutes away and stocked up and didn't need a thing! It snowed the entire time, even though it was April but it was beautiful and fun getaway in a nice, comfortable space. We stayed warm and the hot tub was a treat!

This was a wonderful weekend getaway with gorgeous views, an amazing cabin, and of course a hot tub! All of the instructions were straightforward and incredibly helpful and we had no problem finding the home, even in the dark. Everything was clean and we were provided with everything we needed from sheets, towels, and kitchen supplies. If you’re looking to disconnect and relax you should absolutely stay here!
