3rd visit

This is our 3rd stay at this house. Comfortable sleeping quarters, no chemical smells from cleaners or air fresheners, nightlights, fire pit, fun games in basement, and a quiet secluded property. If we are in the area we always look this up first!

Quiet, peaceful and comfortable

As the title says, if you're looking for a comfortable house to get away from everything- except nature- this is the place. We enjoyed our stay even though some parks and trails were closed due to the recent hurricane, but we expected that. This house has everything you need. One thing- if the internet quits working, just unplug the router at the wall and plug back in- worked for us twice.

Very clean and nice secluded house. Everything is up to date, communication was great and so was the seamless check-in/check-out process. Worked perfect for both adults and kids and was a central location to drive to all attractions. Would definitely recommend!

Stay #2

This was our second time here. It was a great place for my immediate family to relax while I dealt with some serious family business. The trees surrounding it did wonders for my soul. Clean, stocked with everything we needed, and enough fun activities to entertain us at the cabin. A highlight was beating my son EVERY game of the loop darts!

About the host

Host profile image

Why they chose this property

This area reminded the owner of their hometown and spoke to their heart about family connections, and getting outside to enjoy the seasons. It gives you the opportunity to hike, fish, spend a day at nearby Lake James, go to nearby local towns and explore, take day trips to wander a little farther away and visit area cities and landmarks. When the day is done, just sit back and relax on the front porch or sit by the firepit and reflect. This is what a home is all about!
