Very Clean! Great property.

Our children had been talking about a group vacation for several years. We choose this cabin and thanksgiving. Wow! - what a blast we had. Though we all live within 20 miles of each other and regularly have group cook-outs, etc., spending a week together at a beautiful cabin was a blast. I have rented many cabins, beach houses, etc and this was absolutely the best. Very clean. Well maintained. Well furnished. Convenient to a lot of sights and shopping. The layout with ensuite baths was an absolute plus when you have 4 sets of adults and children. We will definately come back.

Beautiful Clean Home / See driveway notes

Excellent communication from Diane, from beginning to end. We had a couple hiccups and they were handled promptly. The home was what every cabin should look like, woodsy feel but well lit and clean. Kitchen was well equipped. I will emphasize that the gravel driveway is very steep (might be difficult for some cars) and very limited in number. I would recommend a 4x4 vehicle. The home’s screened in back porch was a welcomed addition as it provided a bug free location for the kids to eat and play. Blue Ridge and McCaysville was only a short distance with quaint downtown shops and eateries. There isn’t much of a yard for kids to play as the home is on a mini mountain, so we spent a day at Horseshoe Bend Park, (approx 15 mins from rental home) which was perfect with shade, playgrounds, picnic areas, bathrooms, fishing and river for tubing or kayaking. We had a wonderful family reunion, full of amazing memories!

Amazing Cabin

Cabin does not begin to describe this home. Everyone in our family was amazed with the accommodations, cleanliness and amenities. The rooms were large, the kitchen was beautiful and well appointed and the large screen porch was a comfortable relaxing place for the family to be together. I would not hesitate to stay there again. Ten Stars!!!

Awesome stay

Pictures don’t do justice to the place . It is much prettier than the pictures . Very clean. Gives the feeling of being isolated on a hill top and yet close to all amenities and Mercier orchards . Only suggestion that I could possibly make maybe is a larger TV for the living area . Host Diana super helpful and accommodating and very punctual in communicating . Awesome stay to accommodate 4 couples with privacy and their own bathrooms.

Wonderful cabin stay for the whole family!

We stayed at Animal Crossings for a week over Christmas with our grown children, their partners and children as well as my mother-in-law. The cabin had the perfect blend of proximity to shops and restaurants but still feeling like you are alone in the woods when at the property. The layout of the cabin was wonderful for the range of ages. The kids could all play downstairs while the adults sipped drinks by the fire and talked. The kitchen was well appointed and even had a waffle iron transforming our traditional Christmas morning chocolate chip pancakes into waffle indulgence! Loved everything about this place, if you have a group this locations ticks all the boxes!

Amazing property

The house was absolutely beautiful, everything was comfortable. They had a very cooking friendly kitchen so we had everything we needed to cook meals. Beds were comfortable. I absolutely loved the screened in porch and the front porch since it rained most of the time we were there it was nice to still be able to sit outside without getting wet. 10/10 recommend.

Animal crossing

The facility is great for a large family. Very clean and well provisioned including kitchen utensils and nice gas grill. Sleeping is on two levels with bunk beds on the lower level for the younger folks. Nice game area also downstairs area. Steep, gravel driveway and limited parking (four vehicles), but this is typical of all mountain cabins. Nice fire pit. Close to entertainment and shopping but far enough away to provide an isolated, quiet, private atmosphere.. Loved our visit at Animal Crossing and will definitely keep it in mind for our next mountain getaway.

Weekend Getaway

You walk in and you feel like you are home. For us, the cabin was decorated with Fall Festival decorations. There was snack foods, clear directions on how everything oeperates, and plenty of towels. The cabin has multiple bedrooms: there are multiple king and wueen suites. The layout is perfect for friends or family to gather. The cabin is close to the Orchard, Blue Ridge Train and Blue Ridge town. The host was very responsive and thought of everything. We had an awesome time and plan to book again in the future.

What a great place!

My family spent a weekend in this wonderful cabin. We had family members from 5 to 85 and it was a wonderful place for each of us! Very well equipped with everything we need to cook meals and plenty of games to play. Our grandson has us a project to do on the screen porch and we built fires in the fire pit both nights. The beds were really comfortable too, so we got well rested. We truly enjoyed our time there!

Youth Group Trip

We stayed here for a week of tubing, hiking, & rafting. The house in conveniently located near so many different activities. We were less than an hour drive from everything we wanted to do. The town of Blue Ridge was just 10 minutes away, so our daily trip to Wal-Mart & CVS were so convent. Everyone was so pleasantly surprised at how stocked the kitchen was. The drawers even had labels so we could find everything quickly. Our group was able to all be together when we wanted, as well as spread out to various places when we needed space. The game room, living room, back porch, front porch, screened porch, fire pit, so many places to hang out. The house is tucked at the top of a mountain which provided breath taking views and really had the feeling of being removed from civilization (even though we were just 10 minutes away). I have been vacationing to this area for over 20 years and this is the nicest house I've ever seen. 10/10 highly recommend.
