I needed to get away from the hassle of everyday life and this house was perfect. The location was excellent. Just five minutes from Blowing Rock. I traveled into town several times as there is much to do there. It was also close to lots of hiking trails which I did as well. It was very clean and exactly as described. The view was phenomenal. The road getting to the house was steep but no problem during the summer. Might be a little tricky if there is some snow and ice on the ground. Also, it rained everyday and that caused the TV and internet to go down. Make sure to bring a couple good books. Overall, I was very satisfied and highly recommend.

We always come to the Blowing Rock area for our anniversary and this was our 36 year. Really loved the house but the gravel road portion was challenging especially if you meet other vehicles. The view was spectaculiar and very roomy for two people. Thanks for a great host.

Amazing place for a getaway. Beautiful views of the mountains. We'll be back

Not easy to find, get to. Beautiful place and view; hot tub was wonderful, beds very comfortable, the weather was lovely. The kitchen was clean, well equipped, and cozy. We enjoyed our time together in the cottage. The property could benefit from handrail on lower steps from driveway to upper deck and front door, garlic powder in spice rack, fire extinguisher in a more prominent location in case of fire emergencies.

Your property was so wonderful and such a great get away!

We had an amazing time at the Secret Shack. We ŵere able to make it in before a snow storm, and enjoyed being “stuck” in the house. The road up the mountain was amazing, but not for the faint of heart. We had great communication with the property owners and they were very helpful, keeping us up to date with the driving conditions on the mountain and surrounding roads. There were only a few things we didn’t love. The drive way for the house next door runs about 10 feet from the kitchen window and there are very few curtains, we felt as though someone could be watching us, but I’m sure no one was. I also wished the hot tub was closer to the door of the cabin. It wasn’t fun walking up the stairs dripping wet when it was in the single digits, but I persevered. It was amazing, beautiful, and worth every penny. And Incase anyone was wondering, it takes a wet beard about 30 seconds to form ice when you’re in a hot tub and it’s 14 degrees out side. I would stay here again without question.

Very nice! Lovely cabin in the woods!!

The Secret Shack was the perfect spot to disconnect for our anniversary trip. We spent the day hiking at Linville Falls so coming back to the beautiful mountain view and coziness of the fireplace was just what we needed. Waking up to the sunrise view of the mountains from the master bedroom bed is amazing! It was clean, plenty of towels, comfortable bedding and the instructions for everything were very easy to follow. We will be back!
