The owner is very communicative and you can immediately tell he wants his guest to have the best time. We spent all week playing the "I bet the cabin does NOT have _____ " but lost every time. They've literally thought of everything, including an outlet for a Level 2 EV charger.
We had the pleasure of staying here in December '22. We like vacations with a good mix of relaxation and activities and the Chinquapin neighbourhood has it all.
There are many walking/hiking trails and mountain bike trails to explore at varying difficulty levels. There are a number of waterfalls you can visit without leaving the neighbourhood. There are multiple fire pits but we opted to use the one at The Outpost (clubhouse) because it was fully stocked with 'Smores supplies and hot chocolate.
The Outpost has indoor and outdoor games, TV's and couches to relax in and the kids loved the popcorn machine. They're currently building a pizza oven area and the calendar shows live music and parties throughout the year.
The kids loved the remote control fireplace for instant warmth and we loved the well-stocked kitchen, making it easy to cook great meals after stocking up at the Ingles Supermarket, a short 20-minute drive away in Cashiers. Cashiers is a cool little town to explore in an afternoon.
During the summer, the neighbourhood has archery, fishing and other activities but even during the winter we took advantage of the BB gun range with tin cans to shoot at, the driving range, the batting cages and frisbee golf course.
We'll definitely be back to this fantastic cabin in the mountains.
