Weekend Visit

The cabin is easy to find, closer to neighbors than expected, but it was a quiet stay. There were a lot of leaves on the back porch and steps that we had to sweep off, recent rains had made it slippery. The cabin was clean, and well appointed. Mattress in the master is quite firm, but the twin mattress in the other room is very comfortable. TV and internet worked great. Loved the seating area on the front porch, and the swing was really relaxing.

Awesome!

The property was very clean when we arrived. The beds are super comfortable, and the location is quiet, quaint, and very convenient to both Blairsville and Murphy. The furnishings are tasteful comfortable, and the decor is beautiful. Communication with the owners was easy and they were quick to respond. We were able to catch fish in the private pond and had a wonderful week at the property.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful property! We spent more time around the pond than we did in the cabin and can confirm it has lots of fish! Love the mountain decor of the cabin!

Appalachian X-mas Vacation

Our stay was PHENOMENAL! Our drive from the coast to the mountains was a great sight to see. The property was in a great location to shopping and eating. The Christmas decorations and mountain themed antler tissue holders were a cute touch! We appreciated the proximity to the pond and were able to capture some really nice family photos. ❤️ The area was very quiet and tranquil. We loved making family memories here.

Relaxing getaway

It was a beautiful cabin, very clean and decorated with fall touches that enhanced our trip to the mountains to look at the fall leaves. We really enjoyed sitting around the fire pit perched on the hill overlooking the beautiful scenery. The cabin had everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable and we really loved the big front porch and spent a lot of our time out there just enjoying nature. We loved it!

Excellent property

Stayed 5 nights and we were completely satisfied. Property was very clean and well appointed. Very convenient to surrounding areas of Blairsville, Murphy and Blue Ridge. Property owners were accessible and quick to respond to inquiries. Property is located down a short dirt/gravel road w local resident traffic. Only disappointment was fall foliage had not begun to turn. Great getaway. Loved sitting the front porch w coffee in the am and glass of wine in the late afternoon and evening.

Wonderful Rainy Cabin Weekend

The weather was not good for our stay, that didn’t matter. From the moment you enter the cabin you feel instantly relaxed. The attention to detail cannot be thanked enough. We had a wonderful weekend listening to music, playing games, and getting to read books. The front porch is amazing. Everything was clean and the touches were wonderful. Great sleep, easy kitchen to cook in and we truly unplugged and relaxed. Thank you again!

Amazing Rental

We booked this cabin for our son's 13th birthday vacation. We fell in love with the cabin when we picked it, the porch and the cabin feel is what made us book it. Well, when we got there...it sure did not dissappoint. When I look at rentals I always look for the cabinish feel, wood furniture, rustic, the quilts, the outside feel. Maria did an amazing job giving this cabin that feel. Everything you see in the pics is what you get. The porch was so dreamy, the house was equipted with what we needed, from blankets, to games, towels, kitchen items and even lots of guides to help us explore the nearby towns and trails. Communication with Maria was nothing more than a text away and fast response. The house was clean. The outdoor area had plenty of space for my boys to explore and enjoy. The firepit was amazing and their favorite spot to hang out. The only thing that we had issue was the wifi for the TV ...would be slow at night. But honestly, not an issue for us because let's face it, we all go to the mountains to escape from all that. I actually loved putting on the radio and listening to their local station which played great music while I cooked and I also use the bluetooth they provide to play music while we played games. There are a ton of towns nearby and trails you can drive to...NC, GA and TN. The decor of the house was as I had seen it in the pics...straitght out of a magazine. So if you are reading this wondering whether you should book this. Don't hesitate. It is worth it. 🤣🥰
