I found the cabin cozy & charming. The kitchen had plenty of dishes and utensils. The furniture was comfy. There’s a game room down stairs, although we didn’t have time to use it. The location is very convenient to popular hiking, towns, and attractions (Blowing Rock, Alpine coaster, Grandfather Mountain, zip lining, etc.). There’s a decent grocery store close by. We enjoyed the fenced porch. I also appreciated knowing my dogs were not going to take after wildlife as we sat out there each night. The sound of the birds, the wind chime and the stream were a bonus to the fresh mountain air & no mosquitoes. You can hear traffic on the road. The only downs, there aren’t a lot of outlets and the driveway was a challenge, no matter how many times we went in & out. Our one dog can’t do stairs so the yard wasn’t an option for her. It was really steep if you don’t go out the down stairs entrance. Fortunately we could walk her along the road safely from the main entrance. I recommend bringing a flash light if you are dog walking. I was glad we brought one. The front of the property is well lit at night and you’ll need a light if you stray away at night to pet walk. Overall we enjoyed our time here.
