The location was perfect! You felt away from it all while still having the convenience of being close to major higways. The bathhouse was beautiful and the caboose was so cute and cozy. Brooke was an excellent host and I appreciated her responsiveness.

The cutest caboose ever!!!

Is there anything not to love about this property?! The location was fantastic and the accommodations were incredible. The separated bath house was such a nice change of pace - it made me be thoughtful about just slowing down, putting my luggage in a different location and cracking a beer and relaxing. Brooke was amazing. Hurricane Helene was on the doorstep and we chose to head out early - Brooke offered potentially lifesaving advice by recommending we not continue on into Asheville due to lower lying elevation. We are planning to come back to this area for a web redemption of our original itinerary and will 100% be back at the caboose.

Perfect Getaway

This was the perfect destination for both relaxation and adventure. The property was beautiful and close to everything we could need but also private enough to escape the noise of the world. We spent evenings on the porch chatting or playing games beside the fire, while days were spent exploring.

Anniversary Trip

Could not recommend this place enough. The attention to detail throughout the entire experience was spot on (bluetooth speakers, double shower heads, drinks, soap/shampoo). Even the level of detail with landscaping and design was exceptional. It is perfect for something like an anniversary because it has the luxurious vibe
