The Rusty Rooster is our favorite cabin rental yet! It was perfectly clean inside. It felt like a hotel with the comfiest beds, linens and towels. It was minimally and adorably decorated, everything was so tidy (it only took us a moment to have things baby proofed for our one year old). It had everything we needed (well stocked kitchen, play pen and high chair, lots of board games)....plus more! The kids loved the downstairs "kid pad" complete with a bedroom, big couch, foosball, air hokey, darts, and an old-school Nintendo game the kids really enjoyed. It had a really nice washer and dryer downstairs, and a private bedroom with it's own bathroom upstairs in the loft. The closed-in balcony off of the living room was also great for the baby (no escaping down the stairs while mom reads her book and listens to the creek!) There was a gas grill and dining table in this space. On the downstairs deck we of course loved the HUGE hot tub! Finally, the back yard was more wonderful than I had imagined! The children were enchanted by the little stream with a bridge over it. There was an outdoor fire pit by the creek, and also one with lots of chairs up higher on the property. It was easy enough to find, very managable roads. It is in a nice community, but felt very private (there was a cabin on either side, but it still felt really private). The location was close to all the great activities in Blue Ridge, but ours was a "Covid-19" trip, so things were just starting to open back up. The home itself really was enough for us to be fully pleased and enjoy our vacation, but if you can go when things are open, there are many great hikes and other activities very close by. There was a Food Lion and other stores within 10 minutes. The home supplied dish soap, dishwasher tabs, and trash bags that lasted us the whole stay. I really can't say enough about how happy we were with it. Our family of 6 with children ages 1-10 all give this 5 stars, plus! We like trying new cabins each time, but we will for sure book again with "Escape to Blue Ridge" as I feel they do a wonderfully professional and pleasing job! Thank you for the amazing memories :).
