In the heart of North Carolina's High Country, this cabin is the perfect getaway. Located on over 100 wooded acres and surrounded by forest you'll enjoy quiet relaxation yet you'll be within 10-30 miles of area attractions. Area attractions include 6 nearby golf courses, snow skiing at Beech, Sugar, or Hawksnest Ski Resorts, antique and craft markets, fishing, hiking, gem mining, horseback riding, rodeos and more. Banner Elk, Boone, Linville Falls, the Blue Ridge Parkway, Penland School, Grandfather Mountain, and Blowing Rock are each no more than 30 miles, some much closer. For a special afternoon visit the Asheville / Black Mountain area and Biltmore Estate. The 8' wide wrap-around porch is a nice place to relax or make use of the gas grill. After dinner stroll to Plumtree, walk the surrounding woods,

We are often asked about cell coverage. Here is a response to a recent question.

 
'Thanks for the question. Our carrier is AT&T and about three years ago the coverage went down the tubes .  Our cousin has Carolina west and here works just fine. I have heard rumor that Verizon works but I can't verify that. There is a standard landline that you can receive calls with or use a calling card to call out. There is also wifi for Skype or FaceTime or imessage  There are pockets on the way to Spruce Pine and Newland where texts and Voicemails will come through. The bottom line is that it can be inconvenient but is no different at our cabin than anywhere else in the region. It is the nature of the topography. It is not something that we get complaints about.  Don't hesitate if you have other questions.'

Aug 2024 Vacation
Overall we were very satisfied with our stay. It was lacking some cleaning (mainly refrigerator) but we let the owner know. Also futon was broken so unable to use correctly for our granddaughters.(they had to sleep on the floor) Everything has been sent to Kate Hall. The washer and dryer were an awesome amenity. We will reserve on VRBO again but probably not this property as it is not set up for a relaxing time for adults. Nowhere to sit unless sitting on porch or going upstairs to sit on bed. The toilet in the bathroom is near impossible to use. At most, only a 24 inch opening for an adult. We knew we weren't getting all the bells and whistles for the amount we paid but we were expecting clean and accommodating.

Truly Private. Glorious.
Loved this cabin! The listing is accurate, and we really enjoyed our stay. Spent an entire day on the porch enjoying nature. Lots of bird sounds, and a few deer ran through the yard right in front of us! The stairs are steep compared to modern homes; we live in an old house, so these stairs were actually easier than we’re used to. Several reviews mention the toilet. Yes, the toilet is in a small space, but the wall is several inches (~4) from the toilet on either side, so if you fit on a standard toilet seat, you should have enough room to do your business. The bed was comfortable, as was the futon in the living area. I love that there’s an uncovered area at the end of the porch, so you can easily move to sit in the sun or shade. I’d like to come back in the cooler months. Seems like it would be so cozy! Host is great; quick to respond in the app. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a place away from the noisy city life.

Great cabin for quiet getaway! Very private and surrounded by nature. Quite relaxing and great for a couples retreat. Only downside was no A/C but it doesn’t get too hot there so not unmanageable. I’d consider coming back!

Wonderful cabin
We had agreat week! The cabin is small but we were there only to sleep and eat. Perfect size for what we needed/wanted. Great communication and easy check in. If you are looking for 5 star accommodations, or in the middle of town then that is where you need to stay. If you want piece and quiet, see wildlife walk through the yard then this is the spot.. This was 5 star for our trip.. We had deer, fox, raccon come through every evening. A few small things of note. The bathroom is very small, the view is lacking when there are leaves on the trees. Again, this is information for renters looking for that sort of thing. As far as our stay it was perfect for us. Looking forward to staying here again. ***Verizon does not work at the cabin but the cabin has wifi so it did not cause any issues for us not having cell service.

This was our first time at this property and overall we enjoyed the quiet remoteness. Although traffic from the local road could be heard it wasn't heavy. We enjoyed seeing the deer everday. There were some challenges; first if you have a large truck with a trailer (bike riding) the drive has no room for turning around. This was difficult as we had to back out all the way down the road and then back up the hill to the cabin. Also the furniture is short. All of it, if you are tall this could be a problem. The toilet was also small as there was bareley enough room to do business. For reference we are average size, 5'6 @ 155 lb and 6'0 @ 200lb. There are not curtains on the windows which was a little strange but we got used to that. The bed is firm. The stairs can be a little tricky to navigate if you wear bifocals. Markers on the each step would be wonderful. We did have an unforseen issue that couldn't be helped by anyone and the host responded quickly and satisfactorily.

I read all the reviews for this cabin and it was exactly as described. Very private and quiet. My husband, myself and our dog enjoyed ourselves very much. I was a little worried about the bathroom because of some of the reviews but we had no complaints at all. The cabin was stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We had a dozen deer come up graze one evening and it was a special treat for us. Kate communicated with us through out our trip and answered all our questions very quickly. If you are looking for a get away from your everyday life this is your place. Thanks Kate for allowing us to stay in your home.

Nice place. Quiet and secluded.
We have stayed here several times and like the property and area because of its privacy and quiet. The deck is fantastic. The open living room area and kitchen are very nice. There are a couple of issues. The bedroom is in a loft up some fairly steep stairs. There is no bathroom up there. The bathroom downstairs is a bit cramped and the tub is a little high. Both would be a real hassle for someone with disabilities. Wi-Fi service is really slow. Don't bother with trying stream video. No local channels on Television (Dish Network) The deck is really nice though and we spend most of our time out there. We had an incident on our last trip (our fault) that required extra cleaning. I wish a little more time had been given for us to respond as my wife was having issues logging in on the VRBO app on her phone and I was not at my computer before being able to respond to the host. We really do like the cabin and hope that this visit does not leave a bad taste for both us and the owner.

Not as advertised
This cabin in the woods was not what was advertised. It was supposed to be on 100 acres, yet you could see a mobil home from the front porch. There were supposed to be mountain views. There was no mountain views. There was supposed to be a trout stream. It was not near cabin, but next to a buzy road. The furniture was old. Miss matched not comfortable. You had to go upstairs and sit on the bed to watch tv. We could not open the cover on the fireplace. But the worst part of all was the bathroom. It was very narrow. The toilet was between to walls and you could move at all when sitting on the toilet. There was a large deep tub that you had to lift your leg up and into, with no safety bars. At the sink there was no where to lay anything while getting ready. Same in the tub, shower. Nowhere to even lay a bar of soap. We had booked this cabin for 1 week but after 4 nights we packed up and moved to better accommodations. I do not recommend this place.
