Nice secluded rustic cabin

We had a wonderful time.

Spacious cabin with excellent outdoor space including amazing porch, hot tub, fire pit. Host was the best communicator we’ve ever encountered- responded in seconds!! Beautiful location and road was no issue at all with our truck.

Roughin' It can be rough to get to up the gravel road, but is well worth it if you want seclusion and privacy for you and your group. The wife and I loved the cabin and don't really have any complaints on it. The hot tub and porch swing were perfect to relaxe and listen to nature. I guess the only thing that could be added would be a washer and dryer for longer staying guest like we were. You have to travel a bit to get to a nicer laundromat. We had a really good time getting away and exploring the North Carolina Smokys.

This was a much needed getaway to the mountains and we enjoyed our stay at the cabin. It was very cute and comfortable. The hot tub was clean and we enjoyed it. I loved that we were high enough to have cooler temperatures after leaving the city where it was warmer. The view from the porch is not a long range view but it is nice. We enjoyed just looking at nature while sitting on the porch. My husband also had fun exploring and watching the creek during the day. It is a nice sound to hear while on the porch. The DISH TV reception was always working as well as the internet. As for the road and driveway you will need a four wheel drive to get up the driveway to the cabin. While my GMC Acadia SUV did make it up Longbranch road the drive way to the cabin was in rough condition and we had to park at the bottom of the driveway and lug our things up it. The walk up while steep was doable but not ideal. Even after all of this we decided to stay an extra night. The driveway is scheduled to be reworked and providing that it is done we would try to stay here again.

Our family needed a short get away so we decided to rent Rough in it and fell in love with the property. We had a great time, driveway was not bad at all.

Overall, we had a peaceful stay at this cabin. The area was quiet and you could hear the creek from the front porch. My family and I enjoyed having coffee on the front porch and relaxing in the hot tub. The cabin was cute and fit our family of 5 just fine! There were some very notable things however, that would cause us not to stay here again. First, the road going to the cabin. We were warned by reading the listing info, as well as the management office calling us to let us know we would need 4 wheel drive to go up the road of the cabin. We have a big four wheel drive truck, so we were prepared. However even with a four wheel drive truck, the road is just plain ridiculous. It was a pain in the butt every time we had to go up and down it. One of the days we even popped a tired coming down. It took a whole day off our vacation because we had to sit in a tire shop and get that fixed. Also, You’re supposed to have a four wheel drive vehicle to get there, but there’s hardly enough room to turn around once you get to the top. Next, the cleanliness. There was a Cheeto bag in the living room. The basket in the bathroom that held the hairdryer had dead bugs in it as well as dust caked in the back of the hairdryer. There were cob webs on the ceiling and the light fixture upstairs was full of dead bugs. And last, when we went into the closet between the bedrooms to see if there were extra blankets, there was a can of bed bug spray, which although the beds appeared clean, did not make us feel good to see. There was no phone signal at all, which would not be a big prb if the Wi-Fi worked. But the Wi-Fi was not working the entirety of our stay. That made it frustrating because we couldn’t look up anything we needed for our stay, but more importantly, we weren’t able to make a phone call if needed. Last, we had to stop by the vacation office to get a packet of directions to the cabin because gps won’t take you there. We wish they would have just emailed us the info in the packet. After using their directions the first time, We ended up just dropping a pin on our phone’s map app to get there with our gps every time, which was much easier. Despite all the negative, we still enjoyed our stay, which speaks volumes for the cabins potential. Would we stay here again? No. However if some of these things were fixed we would definitely consider it because the peaceful surroundings and privacy were well worth it.

Great location. Beautiful home .
