Beautiful Cabin

Beautiful place! Clean, quiet and cozy. Would have loved to spend a few more days there to enjoy it. Kitchen was well equipped (probably just needs a toaster) and the hosts are very responsive. Would definitely stay again!

Great

This cabin is VERY nice. Nicer than pictures. It’s super comfortable, nicely furnished, quiet and pretty peaceful (couple of times there was someone with a dirt bike down the road making some noise but not a huge deal). The owners have the kitchen super well stocked, the firepit is great with lots of wood and plenty of places to sit and enjoy the mountain air. Water pressure and showers are excellent and beds are comfortable. We would definitely stay here again.

Cabin in the Woods

What a delightful few days in this sweet cabin snuggled into the woods. We will definitely be back to enjoy this clean, quiet, and well-appointed hideaway. Our favorite part was the back deck, where we sipped coffee in the morning and wine at dusk. Loved the open kitchen and the feeling of being one with nature. You can book this cabin with confidence!

Beautiful peaceful property

This was a lovely cabin in a peaceful quiet setting. The hosts kept in excellent contact for any questions. The kitchen was fantastically equipped with all the utensils, pots/pans and even spices for us to take most meals in. The bbq utensils were all provided as well. The rooms were clean and also well equipped with towels and laundry. We would definitely stay here again!

Nice, newer property

This place was perfect for us, just a few miles from my cousins place tucked back in the woods but very close to town and the Parkway. Beds were firm but comfy.Kitchen was very nicely appointed with dinnerware, cookware, etc.. We’ll definitely stay here again next year.

Incredible Property

This cabin and location was perfect for our brief visit. The cabin appears to be brand new and all aspects of this stay were outstanding. After a long day of hiking, we decided to cook at home. The kitchen is very well equipped and everything was easy to locate. The entire cabin was spotless and there were very easy and clear checkout instructions. While this was a very brief trip(less than 24 hours) I would not hesitate to revisit for future stays.

Forest Chalet

We stayed June 24 - July 2. This chalet is newly built with every amenity. Check in and check out was easy. The location is private and hidden in a forest near the Blue Ridge Parkway. We learned not to rely on Google GPS since it was inaccurate. Beautiful views!

Wonderful stay close to Little Switzerland

We had a great short stay at this cozy and spotless hideaway. The cabin was comfortable and close to all desired activities. The teen in the group loved the gem mining at Emerald Village. The hiker drove us to Wiseman’s View, and we all enjoyed Grandfather Mountain. Evenings were quiet and relaxing. We would not hesitate to visit again. Thank you for sharing this beautiful spot!

Loved the Quiet

the cabin was wonderful. Even better than advertised. Saw deer, rabbit and squirrels. Directions indicate to take Leatherwood road off of 226. The road off 226 is actually Lynn Gap. Not a big problem but a bit confusing. Loved our stay. The cabin is very well equipped.

About the host

Hosted by Will and Shamon Gharst

Host profile image
We're a family of 4 with two small children. We love to get outside and explore all our state of NC has to offer. We love the NC coast, but we especially love Western North Carolina and enjoying all of the Hiking, restaurants, and creativity it has to offer.

Why they chose this property

Almost every weekend in the Fall and Spring, our family takes a hike through the woods.
It's not always a long hike with having young kids, but it gives us a moment to reset, and lets our kids explore. From this, we decided to find a house in the mountains to give us more time to enjoy the views and have a place to bring the extended family.

The views of the mountains while driving up, the proximity to hiking and the Blue Ridge Parkway, as well as the quiet that surrounds the house, made us fall in love instantly.

What makes this property unique

You will be amazed just how quiet it can be sitting in the back of the house. Hearing a mountain stream in the background, it's a great place to reset from the normal day to day.
