I have to admit that this place was nicer than what I though. If you want a place to completely relax and connect with nature, then look no further. Location was key. It wasn’t far away from anything. There is so many things we didn’t get to do since our time was limited, but I’m planning to go back and visit. Loved this cabin.

Our stay could not have been any better. Wonderful experience with a true cabin feel in a great location. The cabin was just as expected, clean and with all the essentials needed for a fun filled 4 days of skiing and sightseeing. The photos do a transparent job on what to expect, beautiful kitchen, spacious living room, comfortable bedrooms and the best part, the huge backyard with the highlight of our stay, the fire pit. Highly recommended. Can’t wait to go back.
8 / 10Excellent·Sep 2023
We stayed here with our pups for a wedding and also some hiking. The house has a beautiful view, is very dog friendly and we loved the outdoor fenced area and large deck! Very quiet location, and we enjoyed watching deer and having a fire in the fire pit area. Some downsides—the primary bedroom has an open bathroom with no door (!). The bed is very squeaky—even just turning over can be loud. The ice maker is broken and there is no ice so stop for ice before heading up the mountain. Otherwise this is a nice short term stay for a couple or small family.
6 / 10Average·May 2024
Had we not been directly contacted by the owner of the cabin to cancel our reservation, we might have made the 5+ hour trip to Banner Elk to find out we couldn’t get into the cabin. VRBO and EVOLVE TRAVEL gave us NO notification at all about our reservation! We would have loved to stay at Hound Trail, but very disappointed with VRBO AND EVOLVE!!!
