This cabin was so incredibly clean and well maintained. Literally has everything you need for a stay. So much to do around the area and the deer that come through the yard randomly are so beautiful to watch. It will definitely be a place we come back to.

We absolutely LOVED everything about the cabin! The location down a windy dirt road, down by the river which was perfect for evening walks with our toddlers, a creek and small waterfall right off the porch (again, perfect for toddler exploration), wood burning stove, comfy king size bed in the loft! Everything was amazing. All of the antique and unique items around the cabin made it feel so warm and cozy because you could tell that every detail was carefully collected and picked to add so much charm and character. We will absolutely be back to this beautiful cabin!

We had a wonderful stay! Very clean and well equipped. If you are looking for a place to stay that is not far from Boone and other towns, yet offers a little more peace and quiet, this is the place for you. The cabin is even more beautiful in person than in pictures. And the host is very friendly and excellent with communication!
Morning view from the loft.
So spacious!
We had no problem getting up here, even in freezing temps (with all wheel drive).

Beautiful home. I felt like I was staying at my grandma’s house. I would recommend turning on heat on super cold days before guests arrive. While I understand the house is old, it was extremely cold inside and took a long time to warm up (it was 30 degrees outside when we arrived). It was nice to see all the historic items. My fiance feel in love and didn’t want to leave. Hoping for a longer visit next time.
