Secluded cabin

It was nice, the drive was definitely nerve wracking on wet roads but my AWD had no trouble making it up there. It was smaller than expected but served is purpose. The beds were SO comfortable but we couldn't get the TV or fireplace to work. The house ladbugs were our favorite! We cooked, sorry and left.

Weekend

We came up for a late anniversary celebration. The property is on a mountain. With front-wheel drive you would not have any issues driving up. The property is beautiful, lots of space, lovely apple trees, pond was nice to fish from. We sat outside every morning with our coffee. Our inside dog loved sitting on the porch all day.

Weekend Mountain Getaway

We had a great time at the cabin over this past weekend. Very secluded location but close by to many attractions for hiking. The road is very steep so heed the warning about 4WD or AWD. The directions provided were spot on. The surrounding property was gorgeous with many wildflowers, wild life & so many apple trees. The hot tub was relaxing & porch was great for our morning coffee. The cabin was appointed with all of the cooking gear we needed to prepare meal. One word of warning is there is no air conditioning but thankfully it was a fairly cool weekend. Amazing stay overall!

Magical getaway!

This place was absolutely amazing! My husband, 2 kids and myself loved everything about it and were definitely sad to leave. We hiked all around the property, caught fish and rowed around the pond, picked blueberries, blackberries and apples. We saw deer everyday, along with a couple bunnies, groundhogs, lightning bugs and hummingbirds. We made s'mores at the fire pit and the hot tub was fun and relaxing. It was a magical place that we'll definitely have to come back to!

Not specific

The property itself and check on process was wonderful. Although the rules and guidelines were not specific on what we could and couldn’t do. We were charged for using firewood for the fire pit but were no instructions saying other wise. Charged extra for dishes in the sink ( thought that’s what the cleaning fee was for) the owners had lots of complaints and extra which was unfortunate.

Perfect mountain getaway

Beautiful and peaceful location with cozy accommodations. Thoroughly enjoyed both the location in one of the most tranquil spots you will find east of the Mississippi. I rarely get a chance to getaway and cannot think of a better place to have been to enjoy that time. Great proximity to Banner Elk and the Blue Ridge Parkway.

Christmas Vacation

It was exactly what my husband and I needed. I gave a 3 star rating for cleanliness because I was being kind. The kitchen and bathrooms were fine but overall the cabin accessories need a thorough dusting. The mattress was one of the best that I’ve experienced away from home and the towels for bathing were very nice and soft. The bathroom was a bit chilly because the heaters weren’t working but we survived. I would definitely go back for another quiet retreat.

Great weekend get-away

Everything was as advertised. Very quiet place tucked away from everything. We wanted a place to unplug for a few days and the cabin was just the right place. Would recommend this place to anyone looking to get away from it all.

Quaint Mountain Getaway

My wife and I couldn't have asked for a better anniversary trip. The location is absolutely stunning, and very secluded. The drive just to get to the cabin is beautiful. We loved getting out on the pond in the john boat. Jim and Diana were extremely helpful and responsive. The cabin was well stocked, clean, and we appreciated the nice touch of the care package basket. It was nice to have something to snack on after a day on the road. There's so many different things to do within a 30 min to 1 hr drive of the cabin, or just stay on site and enjoy being disconnected. Look forward to staying again one day!

Heaven

This is my favorite mountain retreat we’ve stayed at yet. It is isolated, quiet, beautiful, clean, and comfortable. The water is good, the couches are comfortable, and it is heaven. We arrived during a rain storm, and the approach was a little intimidating, but four wheel drive took care of it just fine. The hiking trails are beautiful and make for the best day. Thanks!

About the host

Hosted by James Rice JR

Host profile image
I am originally from North Carolina and Diana is from New York and we met and married in South Florida.Its the classic tale of country boy meets city girl and the rest is history. We have 4 grown children and 5 grandchildren who we love spending time with. We enjoy nature and the great outdoors which is the main reason that we purchased Doublehead Mountain Retreat and the more than 100 acres of wild mountain land around it.

Why they chose this property

While growing up in a small North Carolina town as a child we took frequent trips to the NC mountains to enjoy the cool mountain air as well as the endless activities including fishing, hiking,caving and tubing -rafting down the numerous area rivers. When I first saw this property and Its seclusion I knew that this would be the place that our family would enjoy and make many memories.We are within walking distance to several caves, waterfalls and stocked trout streams as well as being able to enjoy our own 1 acre pond right in front of our cabin. Our cabin is also a short drive to many of the High Country attractions including Linville Falls, Grandfather Mountain, Mount Mitchell( Highest Elevation east of the Mississippi River), Beech and Sugar Mountain Ski Resorts and many white water rafting and ziplining excursions.

What makes this property unique

The reason I love this place is the seclusion and remoteness of this property. Although there are a few other cabins in the area ,you cant see any from our cabin. We are not in a development not subject to any rules and regulations.(Jim)
To be able to unplug and decompress in nature without WiFI/Internet (I begged Jim not to have a TV, but I lost that fight...lol) puts life back into perspective and grounds you to what`s really important in life, being one with our Creator through the amazing natural creations that we take for granted and to truly connect w/ your love ones in peace and tranquility. Plus it is a great place to write and take nature pictures!!~Diana
