A quiet, lovely site off the Blue Ridge Parkway

This little cabin was perfect for our anniversary getaway. It was well-equipped, the jetted tub was relaxing and if we had been staying longer than two nights we would have used the stacked washer/dryer. The owners were extremely responsive to communication and offered helpful advice about the area, too. We would definitely stay again.

We had a wonderful overnight! Just what we needed!

We loved this cabin. Just down the road from the music museum where we watched an evening concert, so it was very convenient! It was clean, cozy, peaceful and had everything! Coffee available, a washer and dryer which we took advantage of, a well stocked kitchen and nice bed. Perfect in every way!

Peaceful Respite

We had a great short stay here. It was very quiet and comfortable. It would have helped to have had a chair in the living area to sit in, though. I had great difficulty climbing into the tall bed, so I just slept on the sofa. The interior was spotless, but I felt that the deck could have been swept. We enjoyed staying there, though.

Our 2nd time here and we enjoyed it.

This is the 2nd time we stayed at this cabin. We brought us a box fan because we can't sleep without one but if you didn't have something for noise there is a neighbor dog that barked alot. That's the only negative. Everything else was awesome.
