I contemplated not leaving a review because I wanted to be selfish and keep this spot to myself, but I felt that more people needed to know just how great this place was. I can’t say enough about our awesome experience at this gorgeous cabin. Stayed here for 3 nights with my girlfriend and dogs and we had an incredible time, my only regret is that I didn’t book a longer stay. I highly recommend saving the driving instructions provided by the host as the cell service can get iffy in the area and GPS isn’t always reliable but we had an easy enough time finding the place. The listing is correct in that cell service is pretty non-existent at the cabin, but that’s to be expected in the mountains and honestly made it easier to disconnect and enjoy the peace and quiet. If you drive about 10 minutes or so into town the service gets much better but I really wasn’t too worried about it. The wifi seemed to work great and we were able to stream things seamlessly off of the tv which comes loaded with Hulu and I believe some other streaming apps. The location is quiet, peaceful, scenic, and all in all the cabin stay was one of the best experiences of my life thus far. The kitchen is fully stocked with anything you need, we cooked an awesome meal in the oven on our first night there. The hot tub was such a great perk after a long day of hiking and sweating, so nice to chill and unwind at night while watching the lightning bugs do their magic. In terms of location, this place was awesome because it’s the first driveway once you’re in the cabin community which made coming and going extremely easy. The cabin is only about 20 minutes or so from downtown Asheville, maybe 25-30 minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway and 30-40 minutes from great sightseeing such as the Pink Beds 5 mile loop trail, Looking Glass Falls, Moore Cove Falls trail, Sliding Rock, etc. We didn’t have time to visit the Biltmore but I believe it was only 20-30 minutes away as well. If you want a quiet mountain retreat then look no further because that’s exactly what you’ll get while being in close enough proximity to the city life as well. Keep in mind that it’s a cabin in the woods so that you will be somewhat remote from gas stations/grocery stores/etc. My recommendations for first timers would be to stop at the grocery store on your way to the cabin, I believe the closest one is Ingles which is 15 minutes away and had everything we could have needed for the weekend. If you don’t feel like driving to Asheville, then Uber and Lyft most likely will not pick you up from the cabin, at least we didn’t have any luck during our stay. We learned that you can call one of the local taxi companies who will pick you up and then Uber or Lyft back home for a cheaper rate. On our last day we paid $60 for a taxi to take us to downtown Asheville, but once we were there had no problem finding a $20 Uber to take us back. A very small price to pay to be able to responsibly enjoy all of the great food, cocktail bars, and breweries that Asheville has to offer. All in all I can’t say enough nice things about the cabin, the location and views, the reasonable price, and our host Eric who was extremely kind, responsive, and was even nice enough to give us a late check out on our last morning after a long night of indulging in libations. Thanks Eric and we can’t wait to come back!
