Nice rustic place; zero cell service

Overall, this is a nice rustic cabin, but in a fairly remote location. One major issue is that there is zero cell phone service out there. Neither my wife or I could get a call or text out unless you drove 10 minutes away from the property. That becomes an issue if you need to communicate with family, friends or business and you did not know that going out there - even bigger issue if you have an emergency or you wish to speak with the host about something. Emailed the host on the portal about this as well as a few house suggestions but never heard anything back. Lastly, not exactly as close to the river as you might think from description.

I rated this cabin four stars due to the lack of air conditioning, which was mentioned in its rustic description. However, I genuinely enjoyed my stay. The cabin is lovely and located in a great area near attractions and restaurants. It's worth noting that this cabin may be more suitable for visits in the fall and winter when it is cooler. I plan to return during that time in the future.

Very Disappointed

We were so excited about staying here. We walked into the cabin and were overwhelmed with the strongest perfumy smell. My wife could not breathe as she is sensitive to smells due to a lung condition. And it was very hard for me to stand too. Several plug-ins were the culprit. We tried to aired things out but ended up not being able to stay. The owner would not give us a refund. Customer Service was very disappointing. We could not have known my wife would have a breathing reaction to the smell. That's no one's fault, but good customer service would have given us a refund. If you stay here, I hope you have NO issues because the owner is not likely to be very helpful.

Quaint Cabin in the Woods

The cabin was rustic, but with all the modern conveniences. Kitchen was nicely stocked with everything you could need. We especially enjoyed watching the deer in our yard, and the raccoons on the roof at night! A very charming, cozy cabin. We will definitely be returning.

Great Weekend Getaway

This was a great place to stay to get away for a couple of nights. The atmosphere was excellent, and had everything a couple could need. The property is down a winding mountain road that keeps you away from busy roads. There was little cell service, but the wifi makes up for it. Be careful of spinning your tires as you exit the gravel drive. I plan to stay again in the future!

Cute and Cozy

Tucked away back on a dirt road, very quiet and secluded. Updated interior with an instant water heater and the window above the bed with the creek running in the back was awesome. We absolutely enjoyed every minute of our stay at this cabin.

APP Homecoming

Precious cabin, secluded, clean and cozy! Totally enjoyed our stay. It took us less than 20 mins to get to Boone. Perfect place to stay for a football game. No traffic coming out of Boone in this direction! Easy to get to Banner Elk. The only thing I can say negative is there was no outlet in the bathroom - unless I just totally missed it. There really were not many outlets at all. Not a big deal at all for us The lighting in the bathroom was a little dim for putting on makeup. But we would definitely stay here again!
