We couldn’t have asked for a better experience; a cozy cabin in the woods!!
I told the owner, but I will say it again, the fact that she had 100% cotton sheets listed in her description was what sold me. The beds were so comfortable, the kitchen fully stocked, the fire pit ready.
We can’t wait to come back again in other seasons and enjoy this fabulous log cabin.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Our family of 5 really enjoyed our stay at this property. The house was extremely comfortable and equipped with everything we needed. The location was truly incredible and the area was so quiet and peaceful. We spent a lot of time on the porch taking in the beautiful view. And our kids spent a lot of time playing games and hanging out in the lower level. The owners were so welcoming and easy to communicate with. It was like the comfort of staying at a friends house with the luxuries of a nice hotel. Can’t wait to go back!

Our stay was wonderful from the time we booked up until we left! Susan and Kevin were such great hosts! Susan always kept us updated and provided with so much needed information about local places to visit and such! The house was very clean and cozy! The bed sheets and towels were very clean and fresh! Kevin met us at the gate and showed us up to the cabin. Susan warmly greeted us at the cabin. They provided us with everything to makes smores! It was a nice way to rest by the fire outside after our long drive. The sauna was amazing!!! The view from the decks were so beautiful, with mountains peeking at us. They provided routes to gorgeous view of the mountains and waterfalls!!! We absolutely loved our stay! On the day we were leaving, Susan brought us delicious homemade cookies!! And did I mention Susan gifted us her homemade jams? Absolutely delicious!!! The one very important thing to keep in mind, is you NEED a four wheel drive car!! Otherwise you wont be able to drive up their driveway. Its very steep. They did mention it to us, and made sure we had one. once we booked. But I didn't see it in other peoples reviews and didn't know before hand. Unless i didn't notice it in the description. Luckily we had an all wheel drive car. Overall a great experience! Thank you so much Susan and Kevin! We hope to visit you again!!!

What an amazing stay we had! We are still dreaming of our time at Susan and Kevin's property. Wonderfully appointed, and so cozy and inviting. We loved spending time exploring the property and taking in the fresh mountain air. Close to many outdoor activities, beautiful waterfalls and the lovely town of Waynesville. We will be back!

Our stay at Shining Rock Cabins was fantastic from the moment we received the welcome email to our last minutes on the property. Susan and Kevin are an amazing duo at helping us feel at home, while giving us lots of tips about places to visit, and trails to hike. The property was well maintained, with beautiful views, and provides wonderful accommodations. We enjoyed every aspect of our stay at Shining Rock Cabins, and will be booking again!

My wife, her parents and our two dogs spent an idyllic two weeks at the most beautiful VRBO home of our hosts Susan and Kevin. The house is immaculate and was supplied with all the necessities including towels, bed linens, a fully stocked kitchen, an outdoor BBQ and so much more! The location could not be better. The home is situated off route 276 about a 10-minute drive from the Blue Ridge Parkway and all the amazing scenic overlooks and hiking trails off the Parkway! We hiked to the top of Mount Pisgah, Black Balsam Knob and several other trails that were within a twenty-minute drive from the property. You will also be 20 minutes from charming Waynesville (think Mayberry RFD) and about 40 minutes from Asheville. While the home does not have air conditioning, you do not need one! We rented from July 11th to July 22nd and the average temperature during the day was about 75 degrees and at night in the mid to low 60s. The mountain air is cool and dry and all of us commented that we slept the best we have in a long time. Every room has window and ceiling fans. Even though you may see higher temperatures on weather apps, these predictions do not consider that the property is about 3700 feet above sea level and with the altitude, comes cool mountain air! If you like to take a sauna, the home is equipped with a wonderful sauna that easily accommodates 4 persons and heats up rapidly. We brought our two large dogs and there are numerous trails/old logging roads, throughout the 65-acre parcel that were perfect for morning and afternoon walks. If you enjoy fishing you are a short drive/walk to the East Fork of the Pigeon River, which is full of trout! As a bonus the home is 10 minutes from a delightful Country Club/Golf Course that is opened to the public. We enjoyed two memorable dinners at the club! And finally, Susan and Kevin are remarkable hosts! They know the area well and can answer any questions you may have. They are friendly, warm, and genuine folks who truly made our experience one to remember! We cannot wait to return to this gem of a home!

Very cozy cottage, with beautiful views and beautiful landscaped property.
We were treated with freshly warm baked muffins and felt very comfortable with the hosts who live right on top of the hill above the property.
Looking forward to someday returning

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and can not wait to come back. The hosts were so accommodating and even dropped off fresh jams and vegetables from her garden. Our dogs loved the big and safe yard and our children loved the freedom of playing alone outside as well. Could not recommend this cabin any more. Will say, the wifi was spotty (as is every where in that area) which made us spend more time together reading and playing games…. We loved it!! Great location between a regard and Waynesville. Couldn’t ask for a better stay.

Lovely property to unwind. Closest rental to Pisgah National Forest. Countless outdoor activities, safe trails, waterfalls, and wildlife. House was immaculately maintained with an abundance of reading material and family games. But the best part of the stay were the Hosts.

Location is beautiful. The owners are wonderful and think of all the little things. The view is gorgeous and it’s secluded and quiet. The yard is large as well. It also has easy access to hiking, waterfalls, Blue Ridge Parkway, and Waynesville. Waynesville has cute shops and good food. Don’t forget to check out the Jukebox for lunch and dessert.

This property exceeded our expectations and Kevin and Susan were beyond friendly and accommodating. The cabin was perfect and met all our needs. It was exceptionally clean and fully stocked. The hosts definitely pay attention to detail to make sure the guests feel comfortable and welcome. The property was large with plenty of room for our children to run around and explore. The views were spectacular, and the location was very private. We were all able to unplug relax, and enjoy the quiet. My husband and I can not say enough about our time here. We will definitely be back.

Our family is from Myrtle Beach and like to come up to the mountains a few times a year to enjoy nature and unplug. This was our first time staying on this property and we absolutely loved our time there. Our two young children and old dog loved the cabin and the wonderful yard as well as the hiking available right on the property. We could have stayed at the cabin the whole time but the location was so convenient, we’re we’re able to easily get out and explore the Pisgah and it’s incredible offerings. Lastly, I can’t speak highly enough of our hosts. Truly kind and accommodating folks. Can’t wait to come back!

Unbelievable accommodations , hospitality, and very comfortable house... no detail left out. Of course you're surrounded by nature, so in another words it's just what the doctor ordered! Listen to the river, breath the freshest air and relax. No neighbors around for miles. Don't want to say too much, because we want the place all to ourselves.
