Thanksgiving Holiday

We so enjoyed our stay at the cabin. It was beautiful and perfect for our family of 6. The outside is so serene, enjoyed my coffee in the morning. At night we did a bombfire, which was magical. House is centrally located to many areas to venture out. We are already thinking about booking for November

The Perfect Cozy Cabin

We spent our Thanksgiving holiday in this charming cabin in the NC mountains. The cabin is immaculate and very well equipped and maintained. Our hosts were very helpful answering our questions and providing directions. There are many hiking trails, including a spectacular climb up to Table Rock. The location is close to the Blue Ridge Parkway. We spent a fun afternoon at a local winery 20 minutes from the cabin. We look forward to booking this cabin again! Five stars all the way.

Serenity

This place was amazing! Had everything you might need. The cabin was beautiful, the grounds were well cared for. I only wish we stayed a week instead of 2 nights. I loved the smell of pine in the cabin! The gas fireplaces were great for the chilly damp nights. Would love to go back!

Gorgeous hidden gem in the mountains

Beautiful and well kept cabin in the mountains, very near the Grandfather Mountain Highland Games. Beds were comfortable, there was tons of extra bedding for the nicely chill nights, very little insect life inside (but some incredible Luna moths to be found outside!), and a very well supplied kitchen so we could bring groceries and not worry about finding restaurants. It was so nice, we enjoyed just hanging out on the porch in between events and the property owners were incredibly gracious about letting us stay an extra day. Definitely hope to enjoy this cabin again!

Amazing Stay - Host is Wonderful and Accommodating

Kay was great to communicate with, Kay was so flexible in allowing us to check in and out. His cabin had everything we ever wanted in a cabin. The place felt very cozy and very secluded. You truly feel like nobody really is around you. There is so much space inside and outside. The dogs loved the space and so did our niece! The fire pit was well built. Clean up instructions were very reasonable. Decoration was cute and well thought out. Everything seemed to have a purpose. So many games in the house to play with. What a wonderful stay. Our only single complaint is the garbage rules. We had to haul garbage out on Sunday for over 30 mins until the next stop. This was inconvenient since the place where you normally drop garbage off is closed on Wednesdays and Sundays. Perhaps if they could store the garbage in a room it would be easier for guests? But it’s a very small complaint and we will definitely be back visiting this location again. Thank you Kay.

Gingerbread Sweet Spot

Kay has a beautiful property and they have expertly set it up for maximum comfort and entertainment. The house and its grounds are immaculate.

A Perfect Get Away

My husband and I loved this cabin. We've stayed at several over the years and this one was one of the best. It was very clean and cozy. It's close to amazing hiking, skiing and other fun activities. It's also great just to curl up by the fire. Beautiful. We will be back!

A very clean cabin

We’ve stayed in many VRBO’s and this pet friendly cabin was one of the cleanest. Great location for hiking. Cabin was well stocked with everything we needed to prepare our Thanksgiving meal. The gas fireplaces made it very cozy with a flip of the switch. The property with a fire pit was beautifully landscaped and had trails to explore..

Excellent, but not for motorcycles

This property was an excellent vacation spot. Everything needed was available to us. If we come back in an automobile we will definitely stay again. Loose gravel and a steep incline made it very risky for motorcycles. Even for someone with over 30 years of riding experience!

Quiet and secluded

This pet friendly cabin was perfect for my husband and I and our two dogs. The property is expansive and no view of any homes nearby. We loved to sun deck areas and also the covered porch areas. We stayed her to be halfway between relatives at Sugar Mountain and friends we visited in Collettesville. The kitchen was very well equipped and the beds were comfy. There is no cell service but there is wifi - slow but adequate. Dish TV service is the minimum package. Overall it was very nice.

Fantastic!!!

Was everything we needed in a girls getaway. So quiet and relaxing and close to everything we wanted to do. Will definitely consider another booking for our next getaway. The pictures on this site don't do it justice....Hands down a great place to stay and the Host was more than helpful. My only complaint was the internet was quirky, but, we were getting away from that part of our day to day, so wasn't that much of an inconvenience. Would give it a 10 rating.

Wonderful stay

I have nothing but positive things to say about this cabin, the owners, and our stay! The house is beautifully decorated, clean, spacious, and relaxing. The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen has everything you need. The artwork and furniture are unique and add to the magical and homey feel of the cabin. The owners were easy to deal with, they responded quickly! The check-in process was a breeze. Everyone in our party of 4 said it was the best property we'd ever stayed at in the NC mountains, and they've all requested that we book again (which we will)! The view is amazing, the neighborhood is quiet and clean. We knew that homes and people were around us, but the trees surrounding the property are a wonderful border ... we didn't see the homes or people ... we could only hear them occasionally. Can't wait to come back!

This beautiful home was our base for a week of hiking with friends. In the afternoons we watched the thunderstorms roll in over the ridge and listened to the rain dancing on the roof. In the morning we had tea on the deck listening to so many birds. Wonderful hosts and great place to stay.

Cozy Cabin

A nicely decorated modern cabin with a lot of indoor, and outdoor space. Loved the gas fireplaces and wraparound deck overlooking the back yard area. Plenty of outdoor space for our kids and dog to play and run around while all feeling very private. Gas grill and firepit were awesome for grilling and roasting marshmallows. Beds were very comfortable. Kitchen was stocked and has a gas stove. Great location, too, for getting to the Parkway, ziplining, trout fishing, etc. Already planning our return!

Lovely house in a lovely location

The house is spacious, homey, well-stocked and just lovely. It is set in the North Carolina mountains near hiking, winter and summer sporting sites. It was just what we needed! The property owner was easy to deal with and responded quickly to messages and inquiries. I recommend this house to anyone who wants peace and natural beauty.

About the host

Hosted by Kay Irvin

Host profile image
We live in Morganton, NC and are both retired. We love to travel, and appreciate most when we are able to stay in a place that has a story, and that has a warmth about it that you just can’t find in a hotel. So, we have finally decided to share our cabin with others and hope that everyone will enjoy it as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

We purchased the property for this home in 1985 and years later, when our two children were in their pre-teen years, we decided that we should have a family bonding project of building a mountain cabin. What began as a family project has turned into our family haven. We enjoy the opportunity to retreat to this special place, where we relish in being on "Cabin Time,'"a time we can all just sit back and cherish the beauty of the mountains and the company of loved ones.

What makes this property unique

This area is to us, the perfect spot. We are all outdoor enthusiasts and this location provides wonderful opportunities for adventures throughout every season of the year; hiking, swimming, skiing, universities, golfing, local southern culture, mountain wineries, biking, rock climbing and being just minutes away from Pisgah National Forest and Linville Gorge. After playing outside all day, there is nothing quite like coming back to the cabin and enjoying a cup of coffee or glass of wine on the deck, taking in the beautiful scenery.
