Great, clean cabin with an amazing view! Very cozy home that was welcoming the minute we stepped in the door. Well stocked kitchen with everything needed to prepare a meal. Plenty of towels in all bathrooms. Very cool downstairs area with air hockey, table to play games, and big screen TV. Would highly recommend! Note...only one star for skiing because we did not ski and VRBO makes you put a rating in.

We visited Marion for our boys to attend Big League Baseball Camp and booked this beautiful home last minute after finding it online. We chose it over a hotel to turn the trip into a relaxing mountain getaway—and we’re so glad we did!The home was clean, cozy, and exactly as described. The host provided a helpful guidebook that made everything easy to navigate. A special touch we appreciated was finding items for s’mores waiting for us on the counter. After long days at camp, the boys loved roasting them and winding down by the fire.We also brought along our 3-year-old daughter and took a day trip to The Orchard at Altapass, just a scenic 30-minute drive away. She had a great time picking apples—it was a perfect family outing.The driveway is steep, but the host clearly communicated that ahead of time, so we were well prepared. One night we had pizza delivered from Titan Pizza Plus—highly recommend if you want to stay in and enjoy the home, it was delicious!Overall, this was a fantastic stay. It was a perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and mountain charm. We’d definitely stay here again!

The view is stunning!! We kept rushing back home to sit outside and enjoy the view!! Michael was amazing w his communication and always responded immediately! The house was just as described. Plenty of room for 3 generations to meet and spend a weekend. Marion has places to eat and Asheville is an easy 40 min drive. I’d recommend driving an suv to get up and down the driveway. Lots of out door areas to sit and enjoy the view!! View from inside was amazing too! Just can’t say enough good things about this home!

Wonderful, secluded cabin with amazing view. Loved the firepit and jacuzzi tub. Had everything we needed. The driveway is very steep but had no problem in my Camry getting up it in September. Would probably need awd if weather was wintry. Would love to return in the future!!

Dream Cabin

We have now visited this amazing place six times now, and for good reason. We all love coming here for the views, the fire pit, the seclusion, the thoughtful touches, and of course, the air hockey. The owner does a phenomenal job of upkeep and upgrades. The cabin itself is our dream cabin (maybe someday!), with the perfect layout, and perfect view. I personally just sit and stare, which is rare for me, but I just want to take it in. The cabin is a short distance to great restaurants & desserts, and of course hiking. We are looking forward to our next visit!

The house and our stay were both amazing! This was such a relaxing place to stay with our two families, both with young children, age 2-4. We got to enjoy the mountain views directly from the main living area as we cooked and relaxed in the main living area. Everything was very clean and the host provided extremely clear information about the home and the surrounding area. Overall excellent weekend!

Amazing home!

We had an awesome time at this house and the host was fantastic. The view is amazing and the home has everything you might need (even smores ingredients!). The outdoor area is great for relaxing and there is plenty of comfortable seating on the inside as well. My friends and I are already discussing having a longer trip to the area so we can stay in this house again! (I will mention that the driveway is so steep it feels like you are going up the hill on a roller coaster, but that only adds to the feeling of being secluded!)
