We had a nice long weekend for the American 250! Close to several towns to do things during the day, off the beaten path for quiet and peaceful relaxation. Two small ponds with a steady waterfall overflow that made the most peaceful sound to just relax and unwind. Large place with plenty of sleeping spots. Your family will enjoy!

We had a wonderful weekend in Mars Hill! This was our second stay at the house—our first was over 10 years ago. We enjoyed the covered porches, and cooked a number of meals in the kitchen. It was a comfortable stay for our group, and we will likely book a stay again in the future.

Overall, we enjoyed our time at the cabin. The location of the cabin and outdoor space was nice. The amount of open space in the cabin was ideal for our large group. We had one issue upon arrival, but the owner handled it promptly. Suggestions for improvement would include updating bedding, towels, and furniture in the living room. Also, the cabin could benefit from a deep cleaning especially in the kitchen/living areas. We did not use the basement level. It seemed cold and dark and windows did not have curtains or blinds. The driveway was a steep gravel, one lane path. We had a very difficult time driving back up to the cabin. I highly encourage all wheel drive.

Great Rustic Home for a Mid-Size Group Getaway

My group of 10 adults found the property to be clean, well-kept and accommodating for our group's size. In particular, the cooking equipment and dining area helped to facilitate a wonderful steak dinner. We had a wonderful time, and if your group is looking for an affordable, calm weekend, this is a great place to stay!

Fun quiet getaway with friends

We had a fantastic girls trip here! The cabin was very clean and had everything we could need inside. The kitchen was perfect for cooking for everyone, and the back porch was a wonderful spot to drink coffee in the mornings. The gravel road was a little hard to get up with small cars, but we made it work. Would definitely recommend for a weekend away with a larger group!

A great family cabin get away

The cabin was great place for our family to get together along with our dogs. The cabin is very well stocked with pots and pans and the necessities to cook about any meal. The open kitchen-living area was a favorite where everyone could be together in a big open space with views from the windows. The hot tub was great. The outside decks were great to relax on and to look out across the ponds and the woods behind the cabin. Would definitely rent this place again for our family get together.
