Melissa is by far the best host I've come across on all Platforms! She is so helpful, friendly and available for any needs! The cabin was absolutely STUNNING, clean and beautiful- the perfect cabin for a stay in the mountain. Melissa left us snacks and made sure we knew where everything is and equipped for anything we wanted to do or make. I would rate 10 stars if i could! Thank you and I'll definitely be recommending this place to everyone

Very nice home
We were very impressed with this home. It was just my husband and me, so perfect size. The outside is as pleasant as the inside with a great porch, hammocks and fire pit. Communication was clear and easy too.This was the perfect location for our activities .Will definitely put this on our list for return trips.Thank you

Fantastic find!
This beautiful mountain cabin feels like you are tucked away from the world without actually being in a remote location. It felt like a combination between a mountain cabin and bed & breakfast. The hosts truly go above and beyond to make it an unforgettable experience. Would highly recommend!
This cabin was very nice and well furnished! The host thought of everything - games for us to play, snacks, and even a bottle of wine to welcome us! It was a perfect getaway for just the 2 of us to get away from it all! Wel'l definitely be returning!!

Home away from Home
If only you could add more stars to a review. We stay all over the country, in many VRBO’s, and this, By FAR has been our absolute favorite. From the moment we booked- until the day of departure- we felt like family. Our hosts were thoughtful, attentive, kind and generous. The property shows the amount of thought that went into every aspect of the home. Even down to the capped corner of the refrigerator.The cabin was cozy, and the property absolutely beautiful. It truly is a labor of love. We will absolutely be booking again in the future! .
