The wife and I were looking for a weekend getaway in the mountains with the dogs and this place was a great find. Easy to book, great communication, and the cabin was just as described. Would definitely book it again!
I came up to the area to take a class at the John Campbell Folk School. I needed a place for my big dog and I. This place was perfect in every way. I will definitely be coming back.
My husband and I stayed at the cabin from December 10 to the 27th. The cabinet is clean, conveniently located very cozy and comfortable. The host are exceptional and go above and beyond should be helpful and should make your stay perfect. Have already booked again in the spring Thank you
The peace and tranquility I experienced during the days I spent in the cabin were unforgettable. I would repeat the experience again. Everything was very good and the life was very peaceful. Everything was very accessible.
I really love this cabin. It's always clean and so easy to get too. Nice little neighborhood but plenty of distance between the houses. The owners are true gems, always easy to get in touch with. The cleaner is so honest, my husband left his watch there and it's being returned to him.

Quiet, very clean, everything you need is available in this cabin.
nice quiet and relaxing location. Cabin had everything we needed and more. Hosts were very accommodating and easy to reach.
would definitely stay again.
The home was in great shape and looked very cozy. Nice quiet area close to rafting in GA. Full kitchen was a big help and the washer & dryer. Kids and myself really enjoyed the stay. Would highly recommend.
Enjoyed this cabin stay. Easy access to Murphy NC
Cabin was just right for us with our traveling dog.
Will save this site for future stays. Host was super helpful with our questions.

Right down the road from Deckers flea market, and not far from town. Kirby was very responsive and the cabin was absolutely beautiful. We will be back.
