We had a wonderful stay! The location was perfect, the amenities were excellent, and the home was incredibly comfortable. Everything we needed was thoughtfully provided, and it truly made our Christmas extra special. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay and would absolutely return.
Beautiful location. Outdoor space was amazing for hanging out. I would 100% come back here and highly recommend it to others. Plenty of bathrooms. Downstairs space for hanging out was great for those who wanted TV and games.
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 have been visiting the North Carolina/Virginia mountains for years.This vaca was absolutely epic/perfect. Beautiful weather with a Full Moon. It truly is all about the cabin and “The View “. Cabin was first class beautifully decorated. The magnificint view was always changing. The Biltmore Mansion was all decorated for the Hoildays.Visited several winerys. We will indeed return. We truly thank you for our incredible stay...
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!!
We had a wonderful visit in in Marion and surrounding towns for a spring break stay. Michael gave us tips on local playgrounds and fun things for our kids to see. The cabin was awesome and perfect for our stay - we are already looking at dates so we can return!
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!
This cabin has all you want if you want a relaxing weekend. Fantastic outdoor firepit with amazing views, quiet scenery, secluded and very nice vibes inside with the indoor fireplace as well.
Highly recommend for those wanting to take a breather!
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!
