We booked this place for our family vacay last summer. Our time there was relaxing, peaceful and restorative. Everything from the horses/cows at the farm before you turn in to the serene view of the lake and surrounding trees is the epitome of a mountain getaway! As soon as you walk in the cabin you see the view of the lake through the large sliding glass doors and windows. Light radiates into the space. Just stepping over the threshold I felt like I was letting out a long awaited breath! I could instantly feel my body relax. And I cannot say enough about how cozy and beautiful the cabin is, inside and out! The owner's really give a lot of attention to the details and make it such a welcoming space. Our kids were able to run around outside and just BE KIDS! It was a magical vacation and forever memories were made there as a family. Because we had such a restorative time there over the summer, my husband and I booked it again for a weekend get away for the two of us. Life is hard and it's easy to get lost in all the schedules and to-dos. My soul needed a respite and I found myself daydreaming about this place quite often. To say it has become my "happy place" is an understatement. My husband and I were able to connect and our souls were rejuvenated by being immersed in a setting full of nature and a cabin where the owners have literally thought of everything you could want and need! If I could give this place more than 5 stars, I would! We've already booked our summer family vacation to go back again and I can't wait!

We rented this cabin for a ladies' leadership team retreat. It was a great choice on a beautiful little lake. We enjoyed the fire pit in the evening and watching the wildlife on the lake. Kitchen was pretty well stocked and beds were comfortable. We would choose this place again.

The house was so amazing. We had a group of 7 adults staying at the property for a friend’s wedding. The property was spacious, clean and well maintained. We especially enjoyed the back porch. Our friend group is talking about renting the property this time next year.

The house was absolutely perfect. The tiny house was a great addition and there was so much space! The accommodations were endless, kayaks, floats, games, grill, fire pit, and so much more. We were all so impressed and happy with the location. Not too far from Asheville and very close to lots of hiking and falls! Thank you SO MUCH!!

Nice House - Awesome Property and Location - Attention to small details lacking on this year's visit, enough to lower the rating from 5 to 4.
