Great place to stay

Jim went above and beyond our expectations. Ice storm caused a delay in staying at the original cabin and Jim let us stay in a separate cabin for one night until the ice melted. Cabin was perfect other than no curtains or blinds in upstairs bedroom.

What a sweet home. Location is great, very easy to get to. The home is completely stocked with all amenities you could ever need. Had a little trouble with the TV remote (needed batteries) and Jim and Carol were extremely quick to respond and trouble shoot. I would love to stay there again!!

Wonderful Stay!

We thoroughly enjoyed our annual girl's weekend at this lovely property! It was everything as described. The cabin is warm & cozy, provisioned extremely well, top-notch beds & linens, extremely clean, and awesome back porch views. The cabin is located half-way between Blue Ridge and Elijjay and we enjoyed an afternoon in each charming town. I highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a relaxing mountain getaway!
