A real nice cabin along the creek side. The creek sounds are very relaxing sitting out on the back porch. The fall colors make it even more beautiful driving the BR Parkway

What an amazing place to stay. This is the Cleanest VRBO that we’ve ever stayed in. Also the best stock kitchen and the best towels. The location is so convenient to everything but really secluded. Also Great communication with the owner. I can’t come up with a negative. We can’t wait to stay again.

Great property! Was the cleanest place I've ever stayed and had the best bed that I've slept in away from home. Weather could've cooperated a little more as well as the water interruption, but had nothing to do with the property and the owner. Brian was on point with getting information or getting things resolved.Thank you for a great stay!

Love this cabin. Even though there are houses on either side, it was very peaceful. Loved the sound of the creek. Lots of comfortable furniture on the wrap-around deck. Wi-Fi was excellent. There are a few things missing in the kitchen but we made it work.

Relaxing Getaway

My friends and I stayed here for the weekend and had a great time. The creek was really relaxing to sit by. There was plenty of space for 5 of us in the cabin and lots of great outdoor deck space to hang out and enjoy the mountain air. There was one mechanical issue (manufacturing issue, definitely not the owner's) and Brian jumped on the case quickly and helped resolve it even from elsewhere. I highly recommend a stay in this cabin. Try Pop's Place down the road. Fantastic breakfast.

Host Brian took the time to message and call me concerning AC issue prior to our stay. He went above and beyond to be sure to have a new unit put in before we arrived. The kitchen was stocked with all needed to have a stay which didn’t involve us having to run out and get small items.

Great Winter Getaway

Loved the cabin. Great location close to the ski resort but far enough away from the main busy roads. The driveway had been shoveled and was perfectly dry when we showed up even though there was a lot of snow on the ground.I would definitely stay here again.
