We loved the privacy of the cabin, the location, and the hot tub nestled among the trees! Very clean and comfortable. The lights were even on for us when we arrived early evening, which was a welcoming surprise!

Pros: The cabin was very clean. It is very private. The back of the cabin is a tranquil creek with plenty of rocks to climb and enjoy. There’s also rocking chairs on the porch to sit and enjoy the view. It is between Boone, Beech Mountain, and very close to Banner Elk. The property is remote but it is in close proximity to all areas worth visiting in the area. I would recommend this property for a long, private stay/getaway. Cons: We couldn’t add the DirecTV app to the TV without entering a pin to watch college football. We had to stream on our phones. This would not be a problem for anyone looking for a getaway without football. The jacuzzi tub in the bathroom wouldn’t work so this was a bummer. There is a jacuzzi hot tub on the lower deck by the creek though. All around great property.

My husband and I stayed 4 nights and it was a very relaxing trip. The cabin was just the right size and had a stocked kitchen, card games, smart tv for a movie night, and the hot tub was great. Our only snafu was with check in, the door code in my email didnt work. I had screenshotted it ahead of time since I knew I wouldnt have signal so it took some walking up the hill to get enough signal to call the assistance number. After that, smooth sailing though!
