We absolutely loved the house and location. The owner was excellent in communicating with us from the inception. We would definitely stay there again. Very relaxing and what we needed to get out of the big city for three days. Neighbors were hospitable and provided southern hospitality when we walked past their houses with our dogs.

The six of us were thoroughly impressed with the cleanliness, comfortable layout and arrangement of furniture, airy feel of the cathedral ceilings, and the ideal location near the Watauga River. We woke to bright morning sun in the living and dining areas and watched the sun set on the spacious porch. We all agreed that we will be back some day.

We had such a good long weekend at this cabin. It was a great place to disconnect and relax. The views of the mountains were amazing, and it's so quiet around. The cabin itself was insanely clean. The beds were so comfy, and the porch was huge with some nice rocking chairs to relax on.

My family and I decided to spend New Year’s in Tennessee at the last minute, and finding Brian’s cabin felt like a blessing. From the moment we arrived, we were amazed — the pictures truly don’t do it justice. The cabin is stunning, peaceful, and beautifully maintained. Every detail made us feel comfortable and relaxed. Brian was extremely responsive and kind, making sure we had everything we needed. We had such a wonderful experience and can’t wait to return. Thank you so much, Brian!
